"Curing banner ad blindness was always going to be a tough ask."
THE ICONIC invited customers to star as models in the latest iteration of 'Got You Looking' brand campaign, via Dentsu Creative.
The campaign saw live streamed banner ads featuring customers who were invited to choose a curated outfit from THE ICONIC’s latest collection.
The footage was filmed at an activation on Sydney’s York Street, seeing customers fit into a content box that mimicked the size of a banner ad to be photographed for their close-up campaign shot.
The customers’ model moments were captured and livestreamed in shoppable banners across News Corp publications including VOGUE and news.com.au and later featured in an outdoor site in Sydney’s Martin Place via oOh Media.
THE ICONIC CMO Joanna Robinson said this is another amazing example of taking opportunities to push the work harder.
"What started off as a simple activation brief to support the brand campaign, evolved into a market-first live stream into banner ads, via an amazing activation," Robinson said.
"We’re also equally impressed by the open collaboration between Dentsu Creative and Love Media to pitch this idea to us.”
The fully accessible activation has continued THE ICONIC’s partnership with The Dylan Alcott Foundation’s Shift 20 Initiative.
Everyone from all walks of life and abilities were invited to come to York Street and try their hand at being one of THE ICONIC’s models as part of the ongoing ‘Got You Looking’ campaign.
Dentsu Creative associate creative directors Leisa Ilander and Gillian Dalla Pozza said curing banner ad blindness was always going to be a tough ask.
"But for a brand like THE ICONIC we knew we could turn them into something people actually want to look at," Ilander and Dalla Pozza said.
"Letting customers show off their take on THE ICONIC’S clothing in the confines of a banner ad sized changeroom, broadcast live across some of Australia’s most popular websites democratises fashion one live banner ad at a time and drives THE ICONIC’s position as Australia’s original fashion disrupter.”
