Hello and ...

Welcome to Brand Innovators Fashion Week!

From the catwalk to the shopping cart, digital media and the Internet are transforming the fashion, beauty, and luxury goods industries at warp speed.

Brandon Gutman Co-Founder

Digital video, social media, content marketing, mobile apps, Big Data, and sophisticated E-Commerce platforms, are all impacting the way leading brands are now building buzz and awareness for their latest collections and products, engaging with their consumers in a more personalized way than ever, and selling billions of dollars worth of goods online. While they may have been late to the party, lifestyle brands are now embracing the visual, collaborative, and viral tools that digital media provides them with, to identify and interact more closely with their consumers, generate positive word of mouth, and launch the next new designer label.

Brand Innovators Fashion Week will provide brand marketers with firsthand success stories about how leading brand marketers are leveraging digital media and the Internet to grow their businesses. We will hear from some of the best and brightest brand marketers in the business, about what’s working in digital and what the major trends in marketing are for the fashion, beauty, and luxury goods industries.

Cool Stuff

The Softwear Evolution

by Paula Parisi

Wearables Take the Fashion World by Storm You are what you wear – the phrase takes on a literal meaning in today’s era of digital wearables.

Companies from Intel to Nike are jumping on this important trend and now Brad Berens, Principal at Big Digital Idea Consulting and Senior Research Fellow at the USC Annenberg Center for the Digital Future, has authored Brand Innovators’ first White Paper: “2 Kinds of Wearables – Info Display vs.

Creation and How They Work With Time.”

The Internet, Berens explains, has undergone a series of transformations that saw things change from us going to it – to a desktop setup in a particular room, where connectivity was a dial-up “process” – to portability. The advent of WiFi and laptops circa 2004 was a huge leap: connectivity-on-the-go.

“The journey of the Internet is it’s gotten closer and closer to our faces, then with wearables, suddenly it pops up on our body, right up to our eyes and on our wrists. It makes computing a lot more convenient than having to grab something out of a purse or a pocket. Suddenly, it’s covering you,” Berens said.

At the 2014 International Consumer Electronics Show in January wearables were all the rage. Intel introduced the Edison, a Pentium-class computer the size of an SD-card. The company announced weables collaborations with Barneys New York and Opening Ceremony and in conjunction with the CFDA launched a $1.3 million contest to “Make It Wearable.” The Nike FuelBand, Pebble smartwatch and glasses galore, from Google and others, are also drawing attention to the space.

Wearables fall into two categories, creation and display, says Berens: it’s either bringing information to the wearer or transmitting the wearer’s data out to another device. Clothes are now able to recognize things and transmit that information in ways that are a lot more fluid than other types of digital interaction, which has huge implications for fashion.

“There are some Interesting high fashion applications – changing color with a person’s mood. You can use computation to render clothing or even a scent dynamic. If you take fashion and the distinction between creation and display, the obvious thing people will be thinking about is garments as display devices. This raises the question: how does the data around an individual’s uses create some sort of opportunity for brand maketers to interact with their customers in new and exciting ways?”

BUILDING A SUSTAINABLE FASHION BRAND

Brandon Gutman, Co-Founder, Brand Innovators Marc Sternberg, Co-Founder, Brand Innovators Co-Host: Jennifer Chan, Sr. Fashion Editor at E! Online; On-Air Host and Style Expert Co-Host: Ted Rubin, Acting CMO, Brand Innovators, social marketing strategist, keynote speaker, brand evangelist and author Co-Chair: Tiffany Vasilchik, Vice President, Material ConneXion, A SANDOW Company Co-Chair: Charlie Cole, President, The Line

Great brands consistently deliver value to their customers and invest in marketing to drive customer loyalty and attract new customers. To thrive and grow rapidly, fashion and luxury brands, in particular, must build strong emotional connections with their consumers. Leading fashion marketers have learned to leverage digital media and evolving advertising technologies — digital video advertising, social media, mobile, content marketing, gamification and personalization — to boost engagement and convert customer relationships to sales. At the end of the day, the ability to create compelling consumer experiences online will define your success for years to come.

10:00 am KEYNOTE — THE REVENGE OF BRANDING Charlie Cole, President, The Line

For years, E-commerce in the fashion space has been dominated by the tactic.

Fab.com was an early adopter of Facebook CPC, Gilt Groupe of flash sales, Kate Spade of bringing the sample sale online… these tactics are now table stakes for any great fashion brand. You need a strong mobile presence – social presence – the ability to capture email addresses – paid search – a mobile POS – retargeting . But it’s no longer enough to build a robust and sustaining business. What does this mean? That a point of view and branding matter again. How should you change what you’re doing as a result?

11:20 am

BUILDING A LUXURY BRAND IN THE DIGITAL ERA

B. Bonin Bough, Vice President, Global Media and Consumer Engagement, Mondelēz International

Digital media and the Internet are rapidly transforming how luxury brands market themselves. From Baccarat to Bentley, brands are rapidly embracing digital video, social media, content marketing, mobile/tablets and other digital platforms to engage more closely with their consumers. Nevertheless, the exclusive nature inherent in luxury brands can sometimes create it’s own challenges for brand marketers in the luxury brands category. Learn how Baume & Mercier is scoring big wins in digital.

KEYNOTE — HAUT DONNÉES: WEARABLE COMPUTERS & THE NEW MARKETING FRONTIER Brad Berens, Ph.D., USC Annenberg Center for the Digital Future Senior Research Fellow; Principal, Big Digital Idea Consulting

Beyond their iconic logos, fashion brands famously have no copyright and no protection from the sincerest form of flattery. Customer loyalty is hard to come by when this morning’s hot new jacket gets knocked off by happy hour. But the new mega-trend of wearable computers can make a difference by linking data and garments in order to create high social switching costs for fashion brands.

Today’s keynote address will explore the new wearable ecosystem and how savvy companies create currencies around their product that in turn create platforms for customer-to-customer (C2C) interaction.

2:00 pm

IS WEARABLE TECHNOLOGY THE NEW BLACK? From Google Glass to UP by Jawbone to the Nike+ FuelBand, technology is all of sudden the coolest fashion statement in town. Are we at the beginning of a new era in fashion? What’s in store for fashion and technology and how soon will it be arriving at a mall near you?
