OBJECTIVES:

Generate buzz with press to activate consumer engagement for the Kenneth Cole Connect smart watch launch in March, weeks before Apple released its anticipated Apple Watch.

AUDIENCE:

The fashion-involved, tech-savvy millennial, ages 18-34.

STRATEGY:

Launched Kenneth Cole Connect at Baselworld, the watch and jewelry trade show in mid-March to pre-empt competitive news announcements in April

Introduced the phrase “Wristie” to further emphasize the product’s capabilities and tie into the “selfie” culture

Capitalized on press and consumer excitement around the anticipation of the Apple Watch to springboard Kenneth Cole’s new, accessible and stylish smart watch alternative

TACTICS:

Hosted press appointments, targeting the brand’s top international markets

Distributed a multimedia news release globally during Baselworld, including b-roll footage, and the official Kenneth Cole Connect launch video 

Created a custom photo booth and photographed visitors with a social media component allowing them to share their images in real time around #KCConnect

Coined the term “wristie” as a selfie for your wrist

#Repost @detroitdesign with @make_repost ・・・ I just stepped out of a meeting (wearing meeting clothes not my official contractor outfit made of paint, sweat and clearance rack material or anything with a cotton/spandex/Lycra mix) not sure if it made me look more “investorish”(new word for ya) as much as it made me uncomfortable and so thankful I took the risk to work myself so I can wear what I want everyday, but my “investorish” brain was getting picked about what I thought needs to happen to open the doors for more people to get real estate investment property loans cause there’s a reason why I pay cash for everything -there’s not a “sold a dresser on craigslist” income loan program out there. Obviously, I now add “speak so fast & show people amazing houses on tv” income -but it’s still not a fun process or easy. So...it’s coming and I’m excited to be announcing it at the NAMB show on and around the Velocity Mortgage stage (you know I can’t stand still for more than a min) on Dec 8th —-a program designed for people like me, you, us who look so much better in person than on paper 😂😂😘 stay tuned @velocitymortgagecapital

#Repost @veganbodegacat with @make_repost ・・・ #ad I’ve never been one for protein shakes/bowls because the powder taste is usually so overwhelming. My favorite way to get protein in my smoothie is to top it with a SimplyProtein® bar. The bowl I made today is a coconut/citrus/banana ocean themed bowl with blue spirulina for B vitamins and iron. I topped it with my favorite SimplyProtein® Lemon Crispy Bar and coconut flakes. The best part about these bars is the protein to calorie ratio. 15g protein for only 150 calories. That’s a win for me.👌🏽 Have you tried any of the @simplyprotein flavors? #SimplyU . . . . . . . . #vegan #vegansofig #food #veganfood #vegangirl #foodporn #veganfoodporn #foodie #veganfoodie #crueltyfree #veganfitness #health #healthy #plantbased #nycvegan #vegansofnyc #girlswithmuscle #smoothiebowl #smoothieart
#Repost @veggiesandchocolate with @make_repost ・・・ For this super short week, I’m focusing on convenience foods - already made meals from the freezer and grab and go snacks. #ad I always get asked about snack bars I recommend, and have a few requirements so that they help keep you full and get ya over that mid-day slump: a good amount of protein, high fiber and not too much sugar. I just learned about these SimplyProtein® bars and love that they fit the bill! Packed for the day: leftover turkey chili with crackers, a few pieces of milk chocolate, a blood orange and a @SimplyProtein Peanut Butter Chocolate Crispy Bar 🙌🏻💯 #SimplyU

Fortunately, this season @echonewyork is keeping my hands warm with their assortment of the warmest gloves and cold weather accessories like this Classic Glitten style that gives the warmth of mittens but the ease of gloves.
