Why American Eagle Tapped Sydney Sweeney for Its Priciest Campaign Yet

GLASGOW, UK AND MAJOR US CITIES, JUL 22 – HEYDUDE expands internationally with Lewis Capaldi as ambassador, while American Eagle targets back-to-school sales with Sydney Sweeney and innovative AI and 3D marketing, Deloitte forecasts $30.9 billion spending.

  • On July 23, American Eagle Outfitters launched its most expensive fall campaign yet, featuring 27-year-old actress Sydney Sweeney. The campaign highlights the brand’s denim heritage with prominent displays in locations such as Times Square and the Sphere in Las Vegas.
  • The campaign aims to reinvigorate denim sales amid a challenging retail environment and cautious consumer spending noted in 2025, prompting the brand to place big bets on star power like Sweeney.
  • It includes AI-powered Snapchat try-on technology, a 20-story 3D Times Square billboard, and a limited-edition denim jacket inspired by Sweeney’s on-set style launching August 10.
  • Chief Marketing Officer Craig Brommers described the campaign as "a reset" that will "push buttons," combining optimism, humor, and sensuality, while reinforcing American Eagle's jeans authority especially with Gen Z consumers.
  • This campaign signals American Eagle's effort to maintain relevance and broaden reach despite economic uncertainty, leveraging cultural moments and new media to compete strongly in the back-to-school market.
