We Stream: behind the scenes of social media content creation.
Today, we’re taking you on a behind-the-scenes tour of our media creation journey. Ever wondered why top-tier brands like Tommy Hilfiger use celebrities to showcase their fashion pieces on red carpets? Let’s dive into the nitty-gritty of how these strategies work and how they make a brand’s investment worth every penny.

The celebrity effect: making brands shine

Brands like Tommy Hilfiger often invite high-profile celebrities to wear their pieces on the red carpet. Why? Because celebrities have a magnetic pull. They attract attention, generate buzz, and elevate the brand’s profile. Imagine Kris Jenner or Shawn Mendes rocking a designer outfit at a high-profile event. The mere presence of such stars can catapult a brand into the spotlight, making it the talk of the town.
But how much does this star power cost? Well, inviting a high-profile celebrity to an event can range from £100,000 to £500,000, depending on the celebrity’s fame and the event’s significance. This investment covers the celebrity’s appearance fee, travel, accommodation, and other associated costs. It’s a hefty sum, but the potential return on investment can be enormous. Think about the media coverage, social media buzz, and increased brand visibility that a celebrity endorsement brings. Every mention, photo, and tag multiplies the brand’s reach, potentially driving millions of impressions. This kind of exposure can lead to a significant boost in brand recognition, customer engagement, and ultimately, sales.
Maximising ROI: beyond the red carpet
Brands have two main strategies when leveraging celebrities at events. The first is straightforward: invite the celebrity and rely on the buzz generated by their presence. Attendees and media outlets will likely spread the word, sharing photos and stories that highlight the celebrity’s connection to the brand. This method can create a significant amount of organic reach and brand recognition.
However, there’s a more strategic approach that can yield even greater results: creating targeted social media content. Here’s how it works:

Short interview with the celebrity (talent):

A brief, engaging interview can offer insights into the celebrity’s style and their thoughts on the brand. This personal connection resonates with fans and followers, making the brand more relatable.

Preparation video - celebrity getting ready:

Showcasing the behind-the-scenes process of the celebrity preparing for the event adds a layer of authenticity. It’s an intimate glimpse that fans love, making the brand feel exclusive yet accessible.

Event recap video:

A highlight reel of the event, featuring the celebrity in the brand’s attire, can capture the glamour and excitement of the occasion. This recap can be shared across multiple platforms, extending the event’s impact.

Attitude video showcasing the look:
A polished video highlighting the celebrity’s look from the best angles can serve as a powerful promotional tool for both the brand and the celebrity. It can be shared on their personal social media pages, tagging the brand to reach a broader audience.
The power of social media
Creating and sharing these videos does more than just document the event; it amplifies the brand’s message, generates leads, and attracts new customers. When a celebrity shares an attitude video on their personal page, it taps into their follower base, driving even more traffic and engagement to the brand.
