EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 21 Buttons was founded in 2016 in Spain by Jaime Farrés and Marc Soler. It is a platform that allows users to share outfits, earn money, discover new trends, combine and purchase garments directly from the application. Available for iOS and Android. Only in Spain, Uk and Italy.

THE BIG IDEA New shifts in purchases habits and a new luxury consumer has appeared. This new mind-set is driven by the millennial consumer. Millennials are predicted to have the greatest spending power of any generation by 2018 (James, 2015).

The segment that this communication campaign will be focus is the ‘Hypebeast’. A word that comes from the slang language, often used to mock this group of people who are obsessed with the hyped fashion pieces and brands. They are willing to pay ridiculous amount of money for limited collections or pre-owned pieces due to their exclusivity.

The drivers of this consumer segments are belonging to a social community and following the latest trends.

It is needed to mention the recent shift of luxury fashion brands into the street wear culture. Releasing collaborations with mid-market streetwear brands and designers and turning their collections more appealing to this target.

Lyst declared the hottest and most influential brands of 2017, which the majority are performing in the Street Wear market such as Balenciaga, Off-White or Vetements.

This business concept is to implement this target segment into the 21 Buttons platform

STORYTELLING of 21 Buttons

14

21 Buttons was founded two years ago and has already established a strong position within the social media market with loyal users. As consumer’s standards keeps on increasing 21 Buttons continues to adapt to it and building a strong brand strategy. Some of our major principles are to keep up with the trends and consumer’s needs.

The tone of voice is young and cool. We understand how big influence “influencers” have in today’s society and by this we can understand their tone of voice also is innovative and trend-following. Nowadays, we want to show our social status through our clothes, and 21 Buttons is adapting after that. 21 Buttons was the first company within the social media market offering an easy way how to find what other people are wearing in a quick and efficient way. We saw an opportunity in the consumer’s behavior, that they were becoming more interested in getting inspired in how to dress. As a result 21 Buttons captured something we all want to feel, we want to feel apart of something and that we belong somewhere. What makes 21 Buttons special is that what we manage to do with our customers is that we makee them feel apart of a community, to be “A buttoner” and share their style with other “buttoners” within the 21 Buttons community.

FRAME 1: On a Thursday morning, Blondey Mccoy leaves his home in South London with nothing but his Supreme underwear and socks, and begins skating. (At this point, his face is covered with the 21 buttons app logo that means he is currently active on the app and follows his every move) FRAME 2: Blondey skates through the South Bank skate park near his hometown and upon finishing a maneuver pushes a button in the wall and pops up his Vetements jeans on him instantly.

FRAME 3: Now inside the London underground as he scans his oyster card, he pushes a button and a watch hat is fixed in his head.

The influencers mentioned before are the ones who will be invited to the release party that will be detailed further in the document. During the party there will be a photo booth, so the influencers will want to take pictures and post them on their social platforms with the hashtags of the campaign: #jointhehype / #mccoyx21buttons. However, they will be allowed to post any picture that they desire.

LIVE BRODCAST OF THE RELEASE PARTY

COVERAGE OF THE COLLECTION ON SOCIAL PLATFORMS

We want the event to feel exclusive since the guest list is very selective, yet very open on social media. In that sense, we want to provide full coverage of what is happening. Therefore, the 21 Buttons Facebook and Instagam will be doing live videos of the most important moments of the night and influencers will be asked to do the same, at least once. If they do not want to broadcast, they will need to post a more content on their Instagram stories, since it is the most instant way to give coverage.

For the collection promotion, sponsored content will be published with our sponsored influencers already mentioned. Although, for customers and other influencers we will like them to post a picture wearing a piece of the collection or the tote bag with the hashtags of the campaign, and they will receive a shout out/re-post/favourite/like/re-tweet from the official ‘21 Buttons’ Twitter, Instagram or Facebook account.

mmcoyx21buttons Each season we will be realising a 21 buttons collaboration with x designer/artist. In the first collaborations we will focus more with fashion but later on we will start with collaborations with graffiti artists, independent artists or musicians.

The first collaboration will beMccoyx21Buttons.

Blondey Mccoy is a 20 years old british skater who has made a living out of his art and social media content. He has collaborated with Streetwear brands like Palace and has modelled for Supreme. In addition, he has done an art collaboration with Burberry and recently, his own art exhibition in London The artist will be designing a series of limited edition garments that will only be sold in two points of sale, the app and a multi brand store located in London. The collection will include three models of t-shirts and a hat. The collection will not be immense due to budgeting reasons.

Mccoy obtained inspiration from the simplicity of the 21 Buttons logo.

The first 100 clients to buy the purchase any item of the clothing will be gifted with a platic totre by inspired by Helmut Lang. The promotion will be for both distribution channels, online and physical. (100 for the online and 100 for the physical)

POINTS OF SALE OF THE COLLECTION The two unique points of sale of the capsule collection will be the own 21 Buttons app and an english multibrand store located in London.

127 This independent multi brand store opened in 2005 in East London. They offer clothing, shoes and accessories from conceptual designers for men and women. The store is very small and, usually, an appointment is needed for a visit.

The fact that the collection will be sold will be beneficial for the store to obtain more brand awareness and customer who will specifically visit the store to check out the collection. In addition, 21 Buttons collection will have a tangible aspect, if people want to try it or appreciate the quality of the clothing they will be able to do that. Finally, one of the main things that 21 Buttons is lacking off right now is credibility and trust. Therefore, a collaboration with a very good established designer store will help those factors.

21 BUTTONS Barcelona

CAPSULE COLLECTION IN COLLABORATION WITH BLONDEY MCCOY When technology meets fashion and art June 1, London. 21 Buttons is a fashion platform that was created in Spain with new mission of internationalising the app and appeal to male demographics. The new re-branding is based in creating a community and supporting young talents. As a small company, they believe in the importance of supporting young and independent artists.

Blondey Mccoy, a british skater, mainly known on social networks for his art creations and style. He has worked for Streetwear brands like Supreme and Palace, as well as modelling for them. Thanks to admiration towards his artistic skills he was the one chosen to design the capsule collection.

The collection is called ‘Mccoyx21Button’ and will be launched the 31 of May, a day before the Party. The collection is inspired in the simplicity of the 21 Button’s logo in black and white. Mccoy created a series of t-shirts, a hat and a gifted tote bug for the first buyers. It was designed and created in London.

The collection will be sold a day before the release party to create a hype before the event and to give a taste of what the party will be all about. The points of sale of the collection will be the own app of 21 Button, as well, as the concept store located in Brick Lane street in London, called 127.

The Release Party will be the 1 of June in Canvas Studio located in Shoreditch High Street, London.

The guest list is pretty impressive and will be kept private. Invitations will be sent away to people, as well as, doing a contest online for users to assist. The average mainstream influencers will not be invited and it will be based in exclusivity.

One of the highlights of the night will be the exhibition of Blondey Mccoy’s art pieces which will have the possibility to be sold.

Finally, music will be another important concept of the night which will be taken care of by an up-coming artist that will be revealed soon.
