"Crazy," "Fast-paced," "In flux."
It's an understatement to say the digital landscape changes at a rapid pace.
On top of that, consumers, investors, and employees are all motivated by different stories.
As marketing lead, you need to balance competing interests and data points, all while weaving together a cohesive brand narrative.
We'll discuss how to be nimble in the face of change and the importance of flexibility when it comes to innovation.
Background on case study
What we are learning
At Rachel Engagement Party Vow To Be Chic
Why do you do what you do
Why do you get out of bed in the morning
Why does your company exist
Why would people care?
Go from the inside out
People buy WHY you do it
Threw rachel an engagement party (threw Cara a Bridal Shower)
Rachel bc no enegagement party in LA
Cara bc no bridal shower in NYC
Talked about the copy of her post and what she really wanted to say about Vow – how did we make it “authentic”
Didn’t storyboard every single one of her stories, we had a general idea and came up with things on the fly
Everyone loves wedding content
People had written product focused articles before whereas other outlets just wanted to attend in order to interview celebs
Exclusive, behind the scenes
Quotes / imagery
Promise of more – other celebs we are working with
Storyboarded with people but they chose the content

Unless it’s angelina jolie or kate middleton, not everyone is going to know who your influencer is
Changing the model imagery to editorial pics
Main CTA is Shop
Secondary CTA is Lead capture
Took the editorial pics the same day as the party to save time
Used lighting that required v minimal retouching (but most had none)
Made the main selects on-site, and then did approvals immediately after (in between the party and the after party)
