Luxury Lingerie:
Triple-Awarded Campaign
Triple-awarded integrated marketing campaigns for the ‘Feel’ & ‘String’ lingerie collections.
Challenge
How do you build an integrated campaign that sells both a blueprint and a black swan?
Insight
This season required two integrated marketing campaigns running in parallel to address two very different consumer needs. The ‘Feel’ collection was built on commercial logic. Its name was a promise: body-sculpting shapes cut from unusually soft modal fabric, redefining what shapewear could feel like.
Conversely, the ‘String’ collection began as an experimental art piece. A black swan, hiding in plain sight. Luxury purchases aren’t always rational. Audiences make emotional decisions about impractical things that feel essential. Our campaign needed to sell established commercial stability while celebrating designer-led desire.
How do you sell the proven and the possible in a single campaign?
Led by Niki McMorrough and Scott Parker, our integrated marketing campaigns embraced the ‘black swan’ moment with a full-funnel rollout in three phases. We opened retail doors eighteen months ahead of consumer release with lookbooks, trade materials and buyer outreach, securing placement at Selfridges, La Maison Simons and Lane Crawford.
Press loans followed, placing the String on Naomi Campbell and generating coverage in Elle UK, Vogue India and Pop. At consumer release, SEO, Google Shopping, PPC and CRM converted that editorial momentum into revenue.
The black swan delivered - ‘String’, conceived as an art piece, outsold all expectations. ‘Feel’, the commercial anchor, gave it the permission to do so.

In case you were wondering
-
Luxury and premium brands often need shared infrastructure with two distinct voices. The commercial range protects revenue and signals reliability; the aspirational line carries desire and earns the press. They borrow credibility from each other when timed well. If you’re balancing both, let’s talk through how to plan it.
-
For press loans, buyer meetings and editorial placements, around 18 months ahead of consumer release. At launch, your SEO, PPC and CRM should already be live to convert editorial demand into orders. If you’re planning a launch window, let’s look at the timeline together.

Look for a body of integrated marketing campaign examples that map to your scale and audience, not just your sector. Ask who runs the work day-to-day. Award-winning credentials help, but fit matters more. Everything starts with a conversation, so let’s have one.
