Burberry revives heritage with “It’s Always Burberry Weather” campaign

Burberry is reigniting its heritage with the “It’s Always Burberry Weather” campaign, reinforcing brand identity through emotional storytelling and visual familiarity.

Launched in early 2025, the campaign features British-made outerwear captured in drizzly, iconic London settings—highlighting craftsmanship rooted in Burberry’s legacy. Designed to reconnect with core consumers and attract new ones, the effort re-emphasizes design authenticity after a year marked by weaker brand performance.

The campaign follows a 15 % revenue decline and 88 % fall in operating profit year-over-year. CMO Jonathan Kiman notes that “It’s Always Burberry Weather” places timeless Britishness front and center in both visual storytelling and digital platforms, aiming to boost visibility and cultural resonance.

Analysts say the move is a calculated attempt to reignite desire among legacy markets while softening appeal in newer ones like China, where sales fell sharply. A refreshed campaign tied to new product drops, plus promotional link-ups, helped cushion the brand’s momentum.

According to industry reports, emotional heritage campaigns may increase consumer brand recall by up to 30 % — critical when product alone isn’t differentiating

As Burberry leans on its British identity, the success of this campaign may depend on balancing heritage and freshness. Future signs of recovery will emerge from ongoing sales performance and regional momentum.
