Scaling Seasonal Demand Through Creator-Led Gifting

01 — Project details

The objective was to drive awareness and engagement for a seasonal holiday collection through a large-scale creator gifting initiative. The campaign needed to generate meaningful reach in a crowded retail window while staying efficient and tightly aligned with the brand. 

02 — Strategic process

Insight Development

Seasonal content performed best when creators had enough flexibility to integrate products naturally into real family moments. Prior holiday campaigns showed higher engagement when gifting felt personal and genuine rather than overtly campaign-driven.

Strategic Framing

The campaign centered on PR gifting rather than paid deliverables, prioritizing emotional storytelling, family-centered moments, and organic creator participation. Content guidelines focused on warmth, nostalgia, and flexibility instead of rigid posting requirements.

Decision Refinement

Creators were selected based on audience alignment and past performance, not follower count alone. Distribution was optimized for reach and engagement, with performance tracked in Aspire to monitor efficiency and scale.

03 — Outcomes

The campaign delivered strong performance across reach, engagement, and efficiency.
