Luxury event review with report cardfrom @orenmeetsworld

[01]

Overview

The creator documents his family's visit to a free, multi-room Hermès pop-up event. He first showcases the various themed rooms and activities, then provides a critical marketing analysis of why the luxury brand is hosting such an event. He concludes by appearing in a picture-in-picture overlay to deliver a structured review, using a 'report card' graphic to rate the experience on four specific criteria: On Brand, Experience, Value, and Content Friendliness.

Transcript

If I solve this mystery, I might just get a Birkin. I brought the family to the Hermes free six room mystery activation, where we hunted and found 30 hidden horses in their stables. But for a quote unquote luxury experience, it was overcrowded and rough around the edges. First, why is Hermes doing this? Luxury is saturated. Their top customers already have Hermes on their mind. This is about introducing as many people as possible to the brand and getting the New York combo going. Was it worth it? Let's pull out my luxury experience report card. On rank, 10 out of 10. Gorgeous Hermes iconography, production, and theme. Experience, five out of 10. It was an excellent game, plus my son loved it, but they were easily putting 500 people through an hour. Our group was 50. Tier would have been far better at 15. Value 10 out of 10. No cost plus a free coloring good. Hard to beat. Content friendly, we're gonna run with a six out of 10. The production was amazing, but most of the environments had not thought through the proper light for video or photo. If this event comes to your sad little town, are you good?
