Social Media Marketing For Lifestyle & Fashion Brands - Case Study
1. How we worked with a
luxury watch company to
create some serious pre-
launch social media buzz
2. The Client
The client ChronoWatchCompany.com is an
upcoming e-commerce luxury watch store
headquartered in Hong Kong & launching
some exclusive watch brands from Europe &
North America globally as fashionable lifestyle
timepieces.
3. The Challenge
ChronoWatchCompany.com is looking to
launch a number of luxury fashion watch
brands in India & globally for the very first
time. The brands although exquisite in
craftsmanship are unknown to the market &
as a new player targeting a completely new
segment of lifestyle watches, a lot is at stake.
4. The Proposal
BuzzFactory proposed a multi-prong 360 degree social
media marketing approach to create some pre-launch
buzz months prior to the expected launch. Leveraging
Facebook, social media
contests, promotions, Facebook ads, Twitter as well as
an exclusive Horology & Watch Lifestyle Online
Magazine to create awareness for the Client, the
individual watch brands being launched and educating
fans on the world of horology, luxury timepieces & the
lifestyles associated with these watches.
