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
