a hashtag idea for a direct-to-consumer brand
This men’s shoe company was failing to convey its unique offering: handcrafted, classic shoes at fairer prices due to a direct-to-consumer model (no retail outlets).
We combined this with a sense of approaching life the right way, centred around the thought #walkwell.
Social, outdoor and film executions then drove consumers to the new mobile-first website. We also secured further exposure for the brand on national TV and other channels by sponsoring a Ginetta GT Pro driving champion.
Influencers especially loved that they had a differentiated brand idea to work with and we saw a 64% sales increase, post rebrand.
