Case Study 01: Givenchy Voice

Case Summary: 　Givenchy invited consumers to name the fourth part of the S/S 2019 commercial "I'm your mirror". Consumers asked to creatively dub it in any language, with the selected voice granted the opportunity to be shown in the Givenchy S/S 2019 series commercial.

Editor's Comments:　Using graphics and videos are the most common methods for content marketing -- the dubbing activity initiated by Givenchy left an enlightening and refreshing impression upon the audience. 

Based on Givenchy’s S/S 2019 series commercials, while not touching the visual creativity, the initiative elicited users' creative voices and sense of humor, ingeniously triggering users to actively contribute content, and to actively share and forward it on social media. Such a series of actions meant that many users couldn’t help but watch the commercials several times.

Of course, the potential risk of such a marketing campaign is the brand's control over the quality of the content and its distribution.

Case Study 02: Nike On Air

Case Summary:  Nike builds creative workshops and lectures for the public in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Hong Kong and Taipei. In In this initiative, Nike invited influential young directors, musicians, designers, photographers etc.to communicate and share with consumers about face to face about design, creativity, craftsmanship, through lectures and hands-on practice to help consumers better understand Nike.

Editor's Comments: Apart from bloggers who could bring in large traffic, talents in vertical segments are gradually becoming a better choice for brands. The reason behind this is that more and more young consumers are more picky about fashion choices, and are now starting to pay more attention to the philosophy and culture behind brands.

On the surface, this is an activity that Nike do for sales, but instead to develop the perspective of the brand, and to deepen the in-depth experience of brand culture. In the activity, Nike designers showed the design concept, process and story of Nike products from the perspective of material color, industrial modeling and graphic design, and guided consumers to participate in the design experience.
