Ingenious De-Influencing Ads

In an inventive twist on the April Fool's tradition, Cuyana launched 'Made With Air,' a fictional zero-impact collection, cleverly addressing the prevalent issue of greenwashing in the fashion industry. This campaign stood out by incorporating de-influencing—a strategy countering the typical influencer marketing narrative—to educate consumers on the subtleties of misleading sustainability claims. Through a surge in social media interaction and website traffic, Cuyana highlighted how easily consumers can be swayed by greenwashing tactics.

Instead of conventional promotion, the brand collaborated with sustainability-focused influencers, who played a crucial role in the campaign's authenticity and impact. These influencers, by showcasing the non-existent "air" garments, not only captivated their audience but also sparked a broader conversation on the responsibility of brands and influencers in promoting genuine sustainable practices. Cuyana's approach, blending humor with critical commentary, effectively used de-influencing to underscore the importance of discernment in sustainability claims, demonstrating that meaningful engagement can stem from challenging the status quo and encouraging a more thoughtful consumption.
