Zalando 10th anniversary

To celebrate Zalando’s 10th anniversary in Belgium, we set up a collaboration with 2 groups of local talents.
On the one hand, we selected several profiles that would be part of the production, they were the main campaign talents. With them, a photo and video shoot were organized by the external production house, Initials LA. The created content was used online, on socials, out of home, and on billboards throughout Belgium. We negotiated the collaboration and made sure they were present at the right time, and in the right place for the production.

The other group of local talents was briefed on the campaign and created content that was shared on their socials. They put their creative spin on the whole campaign idea. Overall, It was very powerful to work with 2 different groups for this campaign. 

Production part, with additional smaller talents who created their content. This all ensured a bigger campaign impact. On Instagram, we focused on what “being Belgian” meant to our talents and how they show it in their appearance. This could be wearing certain clothes, and certain make-up but also eating certain foods or doing certain activities. 

We didn’t want pretty outfit posts but we wanted to tell a story and have some deeper meaning. 

In short, they expressed in which they feel themselves and thus Belg.
A focus on fashion or beauty was always integrated into the content our talents provided. 

What did we want to achieve with our campaign?

• Make Zalando the starting point for fashion.  
• Solidify Zalando’s role as Belgium’s most relevant and locally-loved brand for Fashion & Beauty
• Drive emotional bond against competitors
• Drive brand recognition and campaign awareness
• Drive local relevance & engagement
• Let Belgium consumers relate, trigger, and talk about Zalando
• Make followers/consumers engage
• Amplify local relevance
