Social media posts with teaser content generally have a 50% higher engagement rate than regular promotional posts.

Events that incorporate a teasing strategy in their marketing campaigns often report a 15-25% increase in attendance compared to similar events without such strategies. So, our ideas immediately sparked a social media teaser to hype up Mitchell’s followers about the launch.

Interactions between celebrities and fans on social media can significantly influence fans' behaviour and establish stronger psychological relationships. This suggests that meet-and-greets, which offer even more direct interaction, could have a powerful effect on brand affinity.

Fans are likely to share positive meet-and-greet experiences, as evidenced by the numerous stories shared online. This organic promotion can significantly boost brand awareness and positive associations. With Mitchell’s loyal fanbase, we knew we needed to include him wherever possible to drive brand loyalty and love amongst consumers.

With the launch, we wanted to capture the spirit of the Made by Mitchell brand, which is unapologetically authentic, inclusive and, most of all, fun. So, we went bold, beautiful, and with lots and lots of bubbles! 🫧

Targeted local activation: We activated six high-footfall stores over six weekends in strategic markets, including Mitchell's hometown Manchester.

Our campaign combined social media buzz (Mitchell teasing his Boots "vandalism" to millions of followers), guerrilla marketing (staged graffiti artists creating a Made by Mitchell mural at Boots Battersea), and an immersive in-store experience featuring a retro laundromat theme with overflowing soap suds. Hundreds queued to meet Mitchell, experience his masterclass, and sample products.

The campaign drove significant foot traffic and social engagement. Its success led Boots to request a similar strategy for future influencer launches.
