Discover it, UNCOVER your STORY YOUR PERCEPTION: Director wants actress on a TABLE DRAMATIC SCENE…is that really telling your BRAND STORY??? Or just confusing your audience? PROVOKE YES, Create CURIOSITY YES, but DON’T CONFUSE your AUDIENCE. Confusion creates a lukewarm consumer. CHALLENGE…make a life changing film on fashion, add to our lives, don’t confuse the audience, made us glad we watched your film.
FASHION/MUSIC AND TRANSPARENCY, SIMPLE CHALLENGE YOU DIRECTORS/FILM MAKERS, ALL FASHION CREATIVES Don’t create simply a shock value piece,
BRAND STORY = Foster Community, don’t come up with some viral piece just for the sake of “going viral”, spend time fostering community and listening.
If a consumer expects a high quality, high production value don’t DIY. If a consumer has no expectations do whatever you want. If a consumer expects that DIY/user generated feel DIY. If the brand feels cheapened by the lower production value = changing the perception of the brand. ABOVE ALL BE CREATIVE. DIY doesn’t mean cheapening creativity/ideas.
