After Coach, the luxury fashion brand, unveiled a series of cute, cartoonish mascots, it's been looking for different ways to spread the word, and the new Coach x Snapchat collaboration is one such creative effort. The social media giant and fashion company have teamed up to release fashionable pins that, when scanned in the Snapchat app, unlock branded games and content.
The Coach x Snapchat pins are available in limited numbers at physical Coach stores around the US. To win a pin at one of those stores, customers need to take a quiz on Snapchat entitled "Which Coach Mascot are you?" After receiving one of the pins, users scan it through Snapchat to reveal an exclusive game. According to reports, the game is an arcade-style spin on Coach's holiday video campaign for this year — but consumers will have to hit up a Coach store to find out exactly what's behind the campaign.
