Icebreaker

Case Study: Launching a new product line through influencers

Rooted in strong values

Exploring the relationship between people and nature since 1995, Icebreaker provides consumers with a natural alternative to synthetic fibres. With a combination of sustainable solutions, ethical practices and simple versatile designs, Icebreaker is pushing boundaries and breaking new ground in the sports apparel industry.

We were inspired by the company’s innovative and ambitious spirit and were more than happy to help them challenge their existing perception as just an activewear line. For this campaign, we helped promote Icebreaker’s venture into luxury fashion by creating awareness for their newly launched TABI collection.

A picture is worth a thousand words

There’s no better way to up your cool factor than by connecting with millennials on social! Understanding the power of today’s influencers, we set out to find a handful of urban adventurers, stylish professionals and escapists who advocate for ethical and sustainable fashion – just like Icebreaker.

We tasked ten vetted and approved influencers with creating imaginative Instagram posts which featured the new TABI product line in their everyday lives. We also encouraged them to incorporate their distinctive aesthetics into their posts in order to appeal to their unique audiences. This way, we were able to connect with diverse groups of people while maintaining the integrity of the Icebreaker brand.
