Transcript

Is good content. Versus bad content, menswear. So first is about rank, and there's two content formats that they're hitting to perfection. The first is vignette carousels, and these are single scenes that feel like they could exist within a movie, but they showcase the collection and the lifestyle style that the collection should exist within. Then you've got production and inspiration videos and carousels. Some are five to 10 shot videos like this that bring you into the story and into their minds, while the carousels showcase different micro moments from the founders and the businesses POV. Then you've got worse of errors, and they're dialed on all fronts. But one of the best things that they do is they create familiarity by shooting the majority of their content in front of this cherry tier good wall from the vignettes to the product focus shots or the character lookbooks. It all has the same look, the same backdrop and aesthetic, which is key when you're trying to stop a fan's scroll. Then it's here. And the biggest thing is when something's not working, don't continue doing it. Like this format, clearly doesn't work, but it's what they continue to scale worse quick lookbooks or the creative director showcasing different fabrics and the quality. All easy to create formats that would perform a lot better than this.
