The cast and the audience were strategically selected based on their Instagram
or TikTok profile and status: Among models like Gigi Hadid, Irina Shayk, Joan
Smalls, Cindy Bruna, Alton Mason and Adut Akech the athletes Alica Schmidt,
Trenten Merrill and Race Imboden, plus K-pop star Big Matthew and TikToker
Khaby Lame (@khaby.lame), celebrated their runway debuts. Khaby Lame, who made
an exclusive appearance to close the show, is one of the most successful TikTok
creators with 113 million followers and BOSS is the first fashion brand ever to
be posted on his channel. Social media stars like Chiara Ferragni, Fedez, Fai
Khadra, Avan Jogia, and Benji Krol in addition shared their experiences of the
day.
The phenomenal digital buzz created around the world exceeded everything the
brand has ever seen before. This made the event, which took place last
Thursday, the largest social-first event in the HUGO BOSS history.
"This event is our benchmark for what we will deliver as an experience to
customers around the world as of today. It underlines the great potential and
global brand strength of BOSS and pays into our target to turn customers into
fans. I am more than excited to further enter this journey together with the
team", says Daniel Grieder, CEO of HUGO BOSS AG.
The Social Media success of the event is visible across all areas, channels and
KPIs:
- A total of 3.9 billion impressions achieved in 4 days
- Over 25 million engagements achieved across all social media channels
within the first 4 days
- Within the first few days, 2.2 billion views on Tiktok #BOSSMOVES
challenge where thousands of TikTokers created content to enter to win
one of five exclusive NFT bomber jackets
- Within one week, the hashtag challenge has achieved 3 billions views
- 1.3 million challenge-related videos were created from the TikTok
audience
- #BOSSMoves trending on TikTok
- Social engagement increased by nearly 1600% on BOSS Instagram account
The accompanying TikTok campaign features a hashtag challenge under #BossMoves
where fans can win five unique Boss x Russell Athletic NFT collegiate jackets
as well as a redeemable twin of each design and a wearable filter. This
campaign between BOSS and TikTok is the first of its kind in this form. With
the NFTs BOSS is taking up the concept of the 'metaverse' and using it
specifically to connect with new target groups.
The dedicated Instagram campaign included special reel productions and engaging
content for the channel's community. Nine individual reels, IGTVs, numerous
feeds and story posts were created in real time, which generated a high level
of engagement and attention before, during and after the event. In total, 14
Creators involved presented their outfits in a unique and entertaining way via
Instagram reels - including Khaby Lame, Alica Schmidt, The Elevator Boys,
Futuristix and Olivia LVS and Eva Apio. All BOSS x Russell Athletic styles and
products presented were also integrated into the respective reels via the
shopping function, as well as other postings, to enable the audience to make
purchases seamlessly at the point of discovery.
Besides the BOSS brand`s strong position on social media before the event
already, the dedicated TikTok and Instagram campaigns are an important element
in further boosting the brand and reaching out to new and younger customers.
"In August, we presented our new strategy together with our vision, to become
the leading premium tech-driven fashion platform worldwide. Only six weeks
later, we are proving that we are more than ready to take this place in the
fashion industry in the future", adds Daniel Grieder.
Last month the HUGO BOSS Management Board presented the new CLAIM 5 strategy to
investors and the public, underlining the company's huge potential to
strengthen its business across all regions and channels worldwide. Though known
as a suit brand, HUGO BOSS sees enormous potential to also claim new ground in
the important casualwear segment for men and women, offering 24/7 lifestyle
outfits to dress customers throughout the day for every occasion. In this
regard, the BOSS x Russell Athletic collaboration presented in Milan is another
big milestone for the company and in targeting younger audiences, like GenZ and
the millennials.
