Here's a case study on it.

Execution
The campaign reached out to over 20,000 influencers and selecting the top 15,000 for participation. Influencers were given the flexibility to post either a reel or a static post, ensuring varied content across platforms.

FWD Made Me Buy It: Featuring must-have items from FWD that influencers couldn’t resist.
FRWM With Me ft. FWD: A twist on the popular “Get Ready With Me” trend, where influencers styled FWD pieces to create fresh, trendy looks.
The content was further categorized into fashion themes such as "Baddie Core," emphasizing bold confidence, "Leopard Print," a timeless staple, and "Tokyo Drip," a mix of street style and urban edge. The campaign bombarded Instagram with FWD-focused content, ensuring constant brand visibility.
