American Eagle Outfitters announced today that its latest installment of the acclaimed #WeAllCan campaign will feature a new cast of Millennials and Gen Zers sharing their personal messages of empowerment through imagery and video. Two seasons strong, #WeAllCan continues to give Young America a platform to express themselves, share with the world what they “can do,” and inspire with “You Can Too” through a powerful new video content series that encourages engagement and storytelling. The Spring campaign marks the most diverse cast to date, incorporating a mix of recognized and emerging talent, spanning the worlds of entertainment, technology, action sports and photography, including: Cameron Dallas, Jacob Whitesides, Justice Smith, Alexandra Shipp, Zella Day, Staz Lindes, Callie Reiff, Kai Morton, Fernanda Ly, Ben Nordberg, and Tyler Mitchell.

CANdid, a content series of emerging influencers and Young America sharing their uniqueness and personal stories, kicks off with the campaign video followed by a deeper look into emerging campaign talent’s lives, such as programmer, Kai Morton, blogger and DJ, Callie Reiff, photographer and videographer, Tyler Mitchell and skateboarder, Ben Nordberg. They created short films about their individual path. Then speak directly to viewers, personally inviting them to join the campaign and feel empowered to tell their own story. CANdid will live on ae.com and encourages submissions from customers. All who will have the chance to be featured on the site.
“We are proud of how #WeAllCan has influenced Young America and the range of talent in our Spring campaign further establishes American Eagle Outfitters’ dedication to celebrating individualism and self expression,” comments Chad Kessler, American Eagle Outfitters Global Brand President. “The addition of the CANdid series allows us to give our customers a deeper connection to the campaign. As well as a larger platform to share their creativity and personal achievements with others.”
