Gap Inc. Research Report
On September 16, 2013, Gap Inc.

Based on the idea of expressing one's authentic self, Gap said that each spot features a contemporary musician, who for the first time is recording a song made famous years ago by their parent and making it their own. Gap further said that these raw, intimate renditions are modern takes on classic pieces and provide a rare glimpse into the soul and journey of each artist. Gap's Global Chief Marketing Officer, Seth Farbman said, "The entire Back to Blue campaign embodies what it means to be comfortable in your own skin. As a brand that is known for expressing itself through sight, sound and motion, we wanted to bring this idea to life through the voices of two individuals who are recognized for staying true to who they want to be. To me, honest, open and heart-felt films like these are the future of video content. Anyone can relate to them because they're real."
