Gap’s comeback to culture
Gap was staging a comeback. Celebrity partnerships with the likes of Tyla and Trove Sivan skyrocketed Gap's SOV across social and marked Gap's return to the cultural conversation.
Our job was to help Gap sustain that relevance by cultivating and scaling their community.
We understood that for Gap to remain relevant, they needed to connect to culture and community.
Our recommendation? An always-on, multi-tiered creator strategy anchored in target creator profiles connecting communities and bigger influencers through gifting (brand fans) in order to create brand heat, awareness and resonance.
