Leveraging Stories For Your Business
Coach has taken a unique approach to launching their Spring 2021 collection. In a time where fashion trends are the least of everyone’s worry, Coach has successfully intertwined a story that resonates deeper than a fashion collection.
Focusing their brand narrative on ‘Coaching It Forward’ empowering their audiences to celebrate people in our own lives and ensure we uplift and recognise their value. In present times the world is looking for happiness and positive information as we have all dealt with the scare in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic. Coach has taken an effective approach to bringing back love, positivity and real-live values that all humans have in common and can connect with.
This is an important strategy for all B2C brands to consider because it humanizes the business, highlighting core values we can all connect to and share that message.

Jordan and many more to discuss culture, community and conversation on a monthly basis while sharing wisdom and positivity to highlight important conversation such as social injustice, inclusivity and achieving personal success.
This type of content, is a great example of how a brand can pivot and position themselves to stand for important values, contributing to today’s world news and concerns, such as community and injustice. ‘Coaching It Forward’ YouTube program educates their audience, which in turn is an opportunity to connect with their customers, as well as new audiences. For a campaign like this to work it has to be an authentic narrative that is relevant and will resonate with the masses.

In today’s climate customer are seeing through made-up content. Coach has successfully launched a new collection but most importantly, contributing to an important conversation, evoking positivity during a sensitive time.
