Case in 60 seconds

Gucci was launching Gucci Bloom, the first fragrance in a four-part series conceived by Alessandro Michele, so the launch had to carry the house's celebration of the authenticity, vitality and diversity of women through a creative influencer campaign.

The campaign turns on artistic interpretation rather than product display, because a scent cannot travel through an image, so Tanke treated the campaign film, the product storytelling and the spring character of Bloom as material for creators to translate.

Tanke's creative team invited the selected influencers and artists to deliver their own artistic interpretation of the Gucci Bloom story, drawing on the campaign film, the storytelling around the product and the spring scent of the fragrance.

Tanke reports that 28 influencers produced >167 pieces of content, with each talent interpreting the Gucci Bloom story through photography, illustration, paper art, styling, painting, set design, floral composition or collage.

Tanke reports a followers reach of >612k, and the page states that the campaign won Gucci and Tanke the Grand Prix Stratégies du Luxe in the « dispositifs sur les médias sociaux » category.

Strategy Breakdown

Fragrance is a sensory product that social content cannot transmit directly, so Tanke built the campaign around visual crafts that could carry the spring character and floral notes of Bloom into an image.
Gucci Bloom was conceived to celebrate the authenticity, vitality and diversity of women, which the page mirrors in a cast of influencers and artists each telling the fragrance's story through a different discipline.

Why Tanke's strategy worked

  1. 1

    Asking creators for an interpretation in their own craft rather than a product post gives a fragrance launch visual range, because photography, collage and floral composition each translate a scent in a different register.

  2. 2

    Briefing every creator from the same campaign film and product storytelling keeps varied outputs tied to one brand narrative, so a wide spread of disciplines adds texture to the launch rather than diluting its message.
