PROBLEM

LC Waikiki had released its new Bosphorus denim collection and wanted to spread awareness among a wider audience about this new collection and boost sales, as well as doing the same for all its denim lines.

4. The agency aimed the targeting at harder-to-reach men aged 18–45.
5. The campaign used a funnel approach, first reaching a broad audience and then retargeting ads to interested viewers: LC Waikiki website visitors, those who spent the most time watching the campaign, and lookalike audiences.
6. Collaborating with Facebook Creative Shop and creative partner United Plankton, different ads were tailored for Facebook and Instagram.
7. Ads ran during the spring period when jeans sales tend to pick up, and appeared in long, medium and short edits in Facebook and Instagram feed, alongside Instagram Stories.
