More about the report:

We dive into 6 case studies of major fashion brands. Prada, Dior, Pyer Moss, Gucci, JW Anderson, and Versace, leveraged YouTube in their marketing strategy during previous Fashion Week seasons and experienced great brand performance results by expanding their reach and tapping into new audiences. We break down the successful strategies behind these results and examine the state of the industry today.

Brands have turned to YouTube to connect with consumers and amplify their message by leveraging video marketing strategies that reach beyond just the present moment.

As the industry was forced to adapt to a more digitally-powered space due to the global pandemic, this led to rapid growth in video content – be it pre-produced branded videos released in lieu of the catwalk show or live streaming of events with reduced or no audience. Creating a long-term strategy is vital for brands, as discussed in our recent webinar, and can be done by introducing series of video content rather than a one-off posting. This will help create a long-tail impact and bring a brand's message forward. We explore these key tactics needed to increased brand performance and many more throughout this report.
