Earlier this week I shared a video about BK Coffee Shop and their social show. And how they're executing to perfection.
But at the brand level - Gant is second to none.
They rotate between social shows like seasons of a TV show.
Whether its their postcards from Puglia series or Checking in for the holidays series - they're dialed.
Love to see it and pay attention to how they execute all year.

Transcript
Says brands doing content tier? Gantt. So Gantt's executing the modern day content playbook better than any other sportswear brand because of these social shows. So first, they establish a concept, and it's key that it's one that's scalable and repeatable, like this postcards from Polio or checking in for the holidays campaign. Then the theme, and this is the plot for each concept before determining the setting for every episode. So in the postcards from Polio series, they film each episode in what feels like a villa while on vacation. Then you've got the characters. And here they use different influencers for different episodes. And each postcard is written from the POV of a different character. And at the center of it all is product.
