Want To Get Into Digital Fashion Marketing – Meet Tasha Antwi

March 12, 2017

From studying digital marketing in University and having an idea that digital fashion was the future. To Now Working with Bottega Veneta, Ralph Lauren and even Blackberry.

Meet Tasha Antwi.

Get to know how SEO content, blogger outreach and influencer marketing is a #GirlBoss career!

What is your job role?

Organic Performance Team Lead & Digital PR

What does that entail?

I’m the lead on 4 accounts, providing SEO consultation on on-site and off-site SEO and content marketing. I work on overall SEO and content marketing strategy, blogger outreach and publications.

I’m also looking after the new Digital PR offering due to launch this year. This will involve upscaling influencer marketing, and identifying grass-root influencers.

What big brands can you share that you have had the pleasure of working with?

Early on in my career I had the pleasure of working with big brands such as Bottega Veneta, Ralph Lauren, Mr Porter, Barbour, New Look, Kurt Geiger, BlackBerry and much more!

How did you get into the industry?

I actually came across SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) while doing my dissertation at university, which was all about online advertising in fashion. At the time, I knew I wanted to work in marketing, working with big fashion brands and digitally.

Back then SEO, and ranking highly in Google, became a big thing as ranking highly in Google but you in the position to drive the most traffic to your website.

As a marketer what do you think is the gem to propel you to success?

Working for a data led digital marketing agency, it’s been exciting to see how data can be used in such a clever way to formulate marketing strategies. Being proactive in learning and becoming an expert in this ‘new idea’, testing it and showing results is what makes you stand out. Especially when it comes to Digital Marketing.

In the industry do you look up to any other women in your field? If no, do you think there is a lack of e.g. female CMO’s, female creative marketers and female mentors?

One person I look up to in the industry is Jenny Thompson who is the Head of Data and Advanced Analytics at Forward 3D. She is the most down to earth person I’ve ever met, and is soo smart and compelling.

I do feel there is a lack of women in senior management positions, especially women of colour. Unfortunately when it comes to tech and digital marketing, we just don’t get enough women of colour applying for roles!

What is the most rewarding campaign or achievable win that you are most proud of?

Ralph Lauren, I was proud to be a part of the Abbey Road campaign, promoting the launch of their 60’s inspired AW14 collection. I was in charge of inviting influencers to the event, and designing and creating additional content around the collection – to outreach and gain placements online.

Who/what is your greatest teacher?

My greatest teacher would be my faith. Being a Christian is what makes me who I am, and is the foundation of all my values. Values that shine through at work, which I hope one day also inspires people. Matthew 19:26 “But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

What is your most valuable lesson?

One of the most valuable lessons I learned from my dad. He was a man full of regret about the things he didn’t get to achieve in his life, due to various situations. He taught me to always take chances, what’s the worst that could happen?!

You can fail but then you would be at peace knowing you tried that thing you always wanted to do.

Now thats a Marketing Girl Boss!!

Why Inclusive marketing should be on your agenda in 2017!

March 5, 2017

Are we finally seeing inclusive marketing to the industry – I’ll let you be the judge!

With the breakthrough of young creatives taking the internet into their own hands and creating their own channels to produce original content. We now have our friends and friends of friends acquiring the same amount followers, impact and even engagement comapred to some of your favourite brands. Upon analysis a first thought is; yes finally we don’t need to be a model, celebrity or a known person to seen or heard, you can just be yourself!

But with new ground-breaking campaigns by the likes of L’Oréal Paris and Nike, they have infused a marketing strategy that will open the minds of traditional marketers. That is called Inclusive Marketing!

What is Inclusive Marketing?

Inclusive marketing is simply marketing that doesn’t target one demographic and doesn’t rely on the traditional stereotypes we set up of ourselves and other people.

Why Inclusive marketing should be on your agenda in 2017!

Traditional marketing strategy is centred on demographics as it relates to the products or service in question. For example, A Gucci customer could be seen as demographically: White, middle class, male or female, who works In the city. However what about the young black girl who loves luxury fashion or the millennial Asian entrepreneur who mixes high end and high street fashion.

Demographics is a 2D way to breakdown people and things to make singular. In 2017 with the voice of your customers in your Instagram comments, Snap chats, YouTube reviews and on Twitter who are fearless twitter finger consumers ready to be heard at their digression in less than 40 characters. It will be highly isolating to bench-mark people against old fashioned stereotypes and statistics based on race, gender, religion and class. Yes they play a factor but are not the substance of your customer and justify a brands report to back their marginalised marketing campaign attempts.

Why Inclusive marketing should be on your agenda in 2017!

Sportswear giant Nike launched a culturally rich, empowering campaign that pays homage to Middle Eastern athletes and explores the challenges young Arab women aspiring to a professional sporting career may face. Yes, there are achingly cool close-ups of the signature Nike swoosh but this bold campaign goes far beyond selling hi-tech breathable sportswear, it delivers the region’s spirit and millennial outlook on what it is to be a Nike woman in the Middle East circa now.

Now that’s inclusive and powerful, go Nike!

Life Of A Marketing Girl – Tips and Take away:

Accommodate diversity as an imperative strategy guideline, for a cross global execution
Show sensitivity, less face value gratification and more emotive touch points as communications tools
Don’t lose focus on your target audience, however still consider other groups within your business development and follow through to activation launch.
Change the game – Change the way people think. Inclusive marketing should be strategy in ALL marketing teams. It should be heightened to fit the needs and wants of your business product and service and not be dismissed.

CALVIN KLEIN – ETERNITY PERFUME CAMPAIGN

July 13, 2015

And AD campaign that you will believe?

Calvin Klein released the new ad campaign for their new men and women perfume Eternity Now. Eternity Now evokes “the moment in time where you know it’s forever”, and follows 2014’s Eternity Night.

This campaign is more than just an image of beautiful models, it also captures real love. The campaign, shot by photographer Cass Bird, “conveys the raw expression of love and emotion between a young couple. Models Tobias Sorensen and Jasmine Tookes are a real-life couple! With their authentic chemistry the image embodies value, class, love and romance of Calvin Klein Advertising campaigns.

A campaign image like this is the new social influence for brands and products. Consumers are more demanding in the new digital age of advertising and will not just buy into the product unless they are loyal customers but also want to buy into the lifestyle and what the brand/product represents. Calvin Klein used the couple’s beautiful photogenic skills and genuine love and applied that to the Calvin Klein Eternity story.

Eternity Now for Women – A sparkling floral with lychee, quince sorbet, peony, peach blossom, neroli, cashmere veil, ambrox and musk.

Eternity Now for Men – An oriental fougère with ginger, coconut water, star anise, starfruit, cedar, patchouli, tonka bean and vanilla.
