Paramus, N.J.—Movado’s five new celebrity brand ambassadors recently made their debut in its new campaign.
The retailer’s campaign includes actresses Jessica Alba and Julianne Moore, Grammy-winning rapper and actor Ludacris, Christian McCaffrey of the San Francisco 49ers, and Tyrese Haliburton of the Indiana Pacers, who recently won a gold medal as part of the 2024 Team USA Summer Olympics team.
It’s titled “When I Move You Move,” a nod to the lyrics in Ludacris’ song “Stand Up,” which is featured in the campaign.
The lyrics in the chorus are “a call to action for people to express their full potential by doing what truly moves them,” said Movado.
Each ambassador can be seen wearing watches from the Movado brand’s key collections that match their own style.

Movado CEO Efraim Grinberg said, “We are proud of our multi-year partnership with this roster of amazing talent across culture and entertainment and to feature them in our 2024-2025 global brand campaign.”
“It was important to us that we aligned with individuals that truly represent Movado’s legacy of innovation, commitment to excellence, and iconic design. This campaign has an incredible amount of energy and movement that is dynamic and makes you feel connected to Movado.”
The company previously announced its plan to increase marketing spend to $25 million as it looks to bolster its declining sales.
The When I Move You Move campaign was inspired by movement, said Movado, a component vital to the brand’s DNA.
Movado means “always in motion” in Esperanto, said the company, a language created in 1887 as a blend of languages to overcome communication barriers.
Movado worked with Creative Director Robert Lussier from The Style Council and global fashion photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott on the idea.
The company also brought in celebrity stylist Mel Ottenberg and choreographer Stephen Galloway.
“Over the last year, we’ve embarked on a journey to take our brand to new heights by developing a culturally relevant campaign that moves you - that literally makes you want to get up and move,” said Margot Grinberg, president of Movado.
“Our goal is to be disruptive and stand out - do something unexpected that will make you stop and want to see more from Movado. It will keep our brand top of mind and engage new audiences globally.”
The campaign can be seen throughout the year across television, digital and print media, and social media.
