Projects
- Mini SuperstylesWe created a 'top trump like' campaign within our 'inspire me' section on the website to showcase different outfitting ideas depending on the weather. We showed hero pieces to wear now, layer later and treasure forever (or pass on to a sibling). This worked well for all markets. Swiping left gave you ideas what to add for cooler weather days and swiping right gave you outfitting ideas for warmer weather.
- Swing into Spring with Mini Boden 10A concept to showcase 10 new and exciting products for Spring. Each product had its own personality which we brought to life with illustrated numbers. Our Mini models literally swing into the new season wearing our top 10 designs. Every shot has the cohesion of the backdrop and swing so all the attention’s on the product and the momentum of our children. Copy focuses on the unique features and benefits of each product. This went into print, online and retail.
- Style Up Your Summer with Look Magazine and MalibuThe 'Style Up Your Summer' campaign put Malibu at the heart of a great summer by giving readers the inside track on the latest fashion and beauty trends, the coolest cocktails to be seen drinking and the hottest places to go. All of this was brought to them by bloggers - the newest players in the fashion industry - and their favourite magazine. A mini-mag launched the partnership in June. Content included: tips, beauty trends, cocktail recipes, Malibutique promotion, vouchers, A-Z summer guide.
