@AdidasNeoLabel achieved over 1bn impressions for their Twitter-first AW14 campaign which saw Twitter users choose every element of the Neo Label catwalk show via Twitter voting cards@Missguided saw a £29 ROI for every £1 on its Twitter card website re-targeting and email cross-matching campaign
I'm not surprised by any of the statistics in this book, as someone who has both used Twitter to satisfy my personal interest in fashion as well as to meet my objectives as a marketeer (in fashion and outside fashion) Twitter is the number one platform for sharing the immediacy and right here right now feeling of fashion.
Twitter is a noisy, opinionated, crowded, messy space. It's the BFC Tent at Somerset House just before a show, only it doesn't get quiet when the lights go down and the music starts. It's perfect for fashion!
