Reconnecting with their target audience through a brand building activity, Jealous 21 conducted a campaign in India titled #FreeJeansDay across 4 flagship stores.

Objective

The goal behind the digital campaign was to create a unique experience for the TG that would resonate with them.

The aim on digital was to build an integrated multi-channel communication.

Execution

In addition to social channels, SMS/MMS bursts and GDN ads were also included in the mix.

The activity buzz and registration started a week earlier across digital. Assets created included a landing page for the entries, lead ads, and click to website ads backed up with social media content to create buzz.

On March 25th and 26th, the celebration stretched to social media. The brand did Instagram takeovers, sharing stories, boomerangs & hyperlapse videos every hour.

Rachna Aggarwal, CEO of Future Lifestyle Fashions said, “This success story marks our entry to building the Jealous 21 brand on digital. We wanted to break the internet and prove that a digital activation, even one relying almost solely on Instagram, when done right, can bring in high footfall in-store and generate brand love.”
