CLIENT

Katie Eary is a London-based designer, graduated from Royal College of Art in 2008. Eary early capti-vated the attention of the international fashion press with her striking menswear collections. Commer-cially established as a menswear designer since 2010, she launched her first womenwear line in 2011, closely followed by a swimwear line in 2012, which both share similar aesthetic values to the men’s line. Katie Eary describes her style as ‘glamorous street couture’. Edgy and daring, the bubbly Katie Eary designs for a young, exciting and eccentric audience – just like her. The uniqueness in prints and design has had the international press impatiently waiting for more each season. In 2012, her creations were spotted on Kanye West, Rihanna and Rita Ora, to name a few. While established in the UK, it is in Asia -particularly Japan and Korea- that Katie Eary found her most faithful audience.

CONFUSING BRAND IDENTITYWhile being supported by Fashion East and Newgen for over three years allowed Katie Eary to extensively experiment with her identity as a designer it also, as a consequence, confused the media on the creativer position of the brand. However, the recent urge for commercial success in a time of financial independence has led Eary to shift from an innovative artistic label to a more wearable- self proclaimed ‘street couture’ – label.

ASIAN SUCCESS VS WESTERN NICHEKatie Eary’s most faithful fans are based in North Asia while Europe remains her crea-tive niche base. The focus on commercial success in Asia has led to a lack of promotion towards the western market.

POOR COMMUNICATION The self-managed company has long lacked of consistency in the communication with its audience and poor attention has been given to the social media pages of the brand, which shouldn’t be underestimated in the age of digital promotion.

The ISSUES

The solution

Katie Eary current objectives include attracting new stockists, increasing sale volume and reaching for large awareness of the label but the many problems defined in the ‘issues’ section are in need of being fix to achieved such goals.

The promotional campaign will need to showcase the uniqueness of Eary’s personality and expertise what the brand has developed throughout those past creative seasons; establishing within a specific market, and embracing the youth international market.

CLARIFY IDENTITY The recent establishment of Katie Eary as a ‘Street Couture’ label can be easily clarify by fur-ther associating the company with the culture of hip-hop, which as been greatly referenced over the past season. The very public relationship of Katie Eary with Kanye West can be seen as an opportunity to help clarify this market positionement with the support of the star. The campaign should be able to communicate with the youth market, sensible to the ethos of the label and of the Hip Hop culture - both sharing uniqueness, attitude and edginess as common values.

RECTIFY COMMUNICATION WITH AUDIENCESensible to online social networking, this audience will be reached throughout a viral social media campaign on platforms including Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. This will attempt to fix the communication issues outlined in the past.

FOCUS ON WESTERN MARKET The campaign will focus on targeting the youth Western market – educated by the media to appreciate and desire celebrities’ lifestyle. If correctly approach, this could represent an opportunity to further position the label within the European and American street couture market which both have been left apart to the like of Asia, where Eary have met great suc-cess as of late.

OBJECTIVES

SS13

Page 8: Katie Eary pitch document

Competitive designer market The current time has proven to be a competitive environment for new designers to stand out as successful businesses. In fact, the industry is over loaded with talented creatives but only few emerge on the official scene. The threads faced by young de-signers are endless but often are linked to financial difficulties to produce goods. Luckily, the British Fashion council has un-derstood, early enough, the financial need of emerging design-ers and now offers possibilities of fundings through loans and bursaries to the most talented ones. NewGen and Fashion East sponsored Katie Eary in the early days of the label.

High pricingThe local manufacturing of small businesses products often translates in high pricing of the clothes, which, in time of finan-cial crisis, can hold the audience away from investing into the designer market. To reassure the public of the value of their purchase, companies such as Katie Eary will have to focus on promoting other aspect a brand – quality, ethos, ethical issues, brand values – in order to compensate the public investment

Stockist Mintel studies report that department stores remains the most popular environment to shop for designer goods (43%). It also demonstrates that ‘the great success of Net-A-Porter and the increasing designer lines at ASOS show that consumers are keen on the method of online buying’ (20%) thus influencing a shift in luxury goods consumers shopping habits and offering emerging labels new perspective of retail space. Katie Eary has recently secured retail opportunities with both ASOS and Mr Porter and can rely on the establishment of those two online retailers to increase sale figure for the upcoming seasons.

Purchase drive It has been reported that most designer goods consumers are ‘very media-savvy and keen readers of fashion and celebrity magazines as well as blogs etc’ (Mintel Designer upmarket report) and figures showed how media represent an important drive for buying into designer market. Moreover, many will purchase designer goods as self-indulgent treats while other will wait for special occasion. A shift into designer consumers habits also emerged as it was reported that seasonal sales have become the leading drive for designer purchase lately, which clearly outline the financial difficulties brought by the crisis in 2008.

The audienceSince the economic crash in 2008, western consumers have been rethink-ing their shopping habits. Many have trade down for lower market brands while other patiently wait for the seasonal sale to grab a bargain. Ultimately, prices represent the main purchase drive of today’s fashion consumer.Recent Mintel study reported that women mostly cut down their spend-ing on designer goods in 2009, while men tend to continue on buying into the market. Men will also most likely buy into casualwear while women will prioritize formalwear when buying into high-end labels.

The youth audience, targeted this campaign, are media savy and strong users of social media platforms which have become a place where fash-ion opinions are expressed. Moreover, the 15-24 are fashion conscious, interested in trend and easily influenced by trend leaders. They buy clothes frequently and dressing represents a strong financial priority in their life. The biggest fashion spenders appear to be the 14-17 audienc-es while the 18-25 tend to reduce fashion spending since facing many financial threads influenced by the rise in tuition fees and cost of living.

“THE FABULOUS LIFE OF KATIE EARY”This slogan sums up the essence of the campaign that will establish the identity of the brand by promoting the exciting lifestyle of Katie Eary –and by extension of the label - as fabu-lous, exciting and unique. The message follows the similar concept of the ‘Katie Rocks’ campaign introduced during the AW12 season and takes it a step further, this time aiming to communicate a lifestyle rather than fashion. It will target the interest of a young audience, sensible to the glamorous lifestyle of the rich and famous and interested -by extension- in new and eccentric fashion.

STRATEGY

Establish Katie Eary as a ‘it’ girl and fashion industry guru Although Katie Eary met great recognition for the eccentricity of her designs since 2010, she also agrees that the identity of her fashion as a new graduate could have been foreseen as confusing.

‘The fabulous life of Katie Eary’ campaign has been designed to help clarifying the misunderstanding established between the audience and the brand in the past. The establishing of the brand within the ‘street couture’ market will also allow the reach of new, targeted audiences.

The strategy will consist in a campaign celebrating the label brand’s values - Eccen-tricity, Youth and Attitude- to the existing audience as well as a larger youth audience, using an international online viral campaign. Katie fabulous and bubbly persona will be used as the face of the campaign and will aim to portray those values through the different tactics used. To help bringing awareness onto the event, the campaign will also benefit from the help of Eary’s friend and once collaborator, Kanye West.

The technique The campaign will consist of the promotion of the latest Katie Eary fashion film -AW13- using a viral social media campaign targetting the young consumers. A cel-ebration for the event will also see Katie Eary associating with Roc Nation for an exclusive VIP party. This event will help associating Katie Eary to the exclusive hip-hop culture while continue promoting her exceptional lifestyle. Meanwhile, the Keep-ingUpWithKatie blog will keep the viewer updated with the latest insight into Katie’s life as a designer.

Overall, ‘The fabulous life of Katie Eary’ campaign will aim to celebrate Katie Eary ec-centric aura in order to promote the ‘Street Couture’ exciting lifestyle of hers and of the label rather than the fashion itself.

Katie Eary and Kanye West’s relationship takes root back in 2009 when the singer discovered the eccentric label and decided to contact Eary to express his enthusiasm for her designs. Katie recalls ‘ It though it was a joke’. Ever since, the two eccentrics built a strong bond over their affection for fashion, which led to their first collaboration for the rapper debut collection in Paris in 2011. The now second collaboration was instant ‘ when Kanye heard I was looking for a celebrity to appear in the campaign he immediately volunteered’ says Eary.

The American star jetted in the UK past January to support his long time friend latest mix gender ‘The blood is the life’ collection, critically acclaimed by the press. With glittzy fabrics, a striking palette colour and daring ensembles of classic and contemporary cuts, the collection is a celebration of the for-bidden pleasure that will attract the interest of consumer beyond the current niche audience of the label. ‘ I could wear everything’ claims West following the showing of the collection ‘Katie’s talent is just overwhelming’.

The teaser for the event video will be released in late May while the official video campaign will be released in the first week of June.

Page 26: Katie Eary pitch document

The objectives of the campaign are to establish Katie Eary in the correct fashion market, increase awareness of the label beyond its niche audience and increase sale volume.The success of the campaign in those areas will be analysed thoughtfully by the BlacKat team during the campaign and for a period of 3 months following the end of it. The following areas will be investigated:

EVALUATIOn

OpinionsThe public opinion will be a critical aspect to investigate in order to evaluate the change of perception over the brand after the campaign, which has for objective to clarify and establish the values of the company. It is foreseen that the social media pages of Eary such as Twitter, Facebook and Instagram will dramatically increased following during the campaign while the blog and official website are also expected a strong increase of visitors, peaking in the May- June period. Such closure with Eary’s public will give us the opportu-nity to analyse the direct perception of the label and whether it encouraged the followers to buy Katie Eary products.

CoveragePress coverage will be analysed and recorded daily. A first amount of cover-age will be investigated after the end of the campaign. The peak coverage is estimated to occur during the May, June and July period. The main success of the campaign will rely on whether or not the targeted press featured Katie Eary and in which format. This will therefore enable Blackat PR to estimate the impact over the the audience that has been reached. The investigation of the press coverage will continue for a period of 3 months following the campaign.

SaleThe most significant evaluation of the success of the campaign will rely on the investigation of the sale volume during and following the viral campaign. The result will be compared with the previous season numbers. The in-tended increase in sale is estimated at 30% for the SS13 an AW14 seasons. It is also expected to see a rise in the amount of international stockist in-terest following the campaign with a minimum of two new stockist deal in Europe and four in America.
