The fashion industry today heavily rely on social media marketing and influencers to remain at the forefront of consumers' minds and the Juicy Couture Fall 2018 advertising campaign pokes fun at this.
The new fashion ad campaign is boldly styled like a sponsored post, with large block text that declares "PAID PARTNERSHIP WITH JUICY COUTURE." Across social media sites like Instagram, this phrase is the same caption that's used on influencers' branded posts. Naturally, the campaign features several notable influencers who are in on the joke and exhibit an awareness of the rules of social media marketing and disclosing paid partnerships.
As part of the campaign, Juicy Couture is launching a #COUTURECHRONICLES series that spotlights each unique influencer's lifestyle, as well as how the brand plays a role in their life.
