About the campaign

Fashion collection launches are concentrated moments with limited physical attendance, and Liu Jo needed its ORA collection launch event in Milan to travel far beyond the room while keeping content from dozens of independent creators visually coherent, the classic tension being that prescriptive briefs strip out the authentic voice audiences follow creators for, while loose ones fragment the campaign.

YKONE resolved it with a single symbolic device: the elevator, a symbol of movement and transition that mirrored the collection's themes of style, strength, elegance, and freedom, shared across every creator's content without homogenising execution. The agency cast, booked, and managed 42 international creators, including Gala Gonzalez, Lea Elui, Tamara Kalinic, Valentina Cabassi, and Clara Galle, who attended the Milan event and produced 207 posts referencing the elevator setting under shared creative and artistic direction, with each creator covering a distinct facet of the collection and distributing organically to their own communities.

The logic was that audiences receive brand messages more readily through voices they already trust than through brand channels, so the ORA narrative reached 42 distinct follower communities as personal content rather than paid promotion. YKONE reports 19.3 million people reached, 63.8 million impressions, 686,900 interactions, and a 3.5 percent engagement rate, all agency-reported and unverified.

Case in 60 seconds

Liu Jo needed to extend the reach of the ORA collection launch event in Milan beyond its physical attendees, while ensuring that content produced by dozens of individual creators maintained a coherent collection identity.

A concrete symbolic device shared across all creators can unify a large roster without homogenising execution, preserving the personal feel that makes creator content credible to each creator's own audience.

Centre all creator content on a single visual concept, the elevator as a symbol of movement and transition, mirroring the ORA collection's themes of style, strength, elegance, and freedom.

YKONE cast, booked, and managed 42 international creators who attended the Milan event and produced 207 posts referencing the elevator setting, guided by shared creative and artistic direction across Instagram and other social platforms.

The campaign is reported by YKONE to have reached 19.3 million people, generated 63.8 million impressions, and accumulated 686,900 interactions. No independent verification of these figures has been identified.

Strategy Breakdown

The primary strategy-learning section — interpretation, not a press-release summary.

International fashion consumers reached through the existing followings of 42 creators spanning multiple audience communities, including audiences of creators such as Gala Gonzalez, Lea Elui, Tamara Kalinic, Valentina Cabassi, and Clara Galle.
Large-scale influencer campaigns risk visual fragmentation when many creators interpret a brief independently, yet overly prescriptive briefs strip out the authentic voice that audiences follow creators for in the first place.
Fashion collection launches are concentrated moments with limited physical attendance. Translating the energy and identity of an in-person event into sustained, coherent digital content across dozens of independent creator accounts is an execution challenge the category has not solved uniformly.
Liu Jo, an Italian fashion brand, positioned the ORA collection as a signature line centred on female identity and empowerment. In this campaign the brand provided the creative universe; YKONE translated it into a shared visual framework that creators could interpret individually.
Audiences are more receptive to brand messages delivered through creators they already follow than through direct brand channels. Distributing the ORA narrative across 42 distinct creator communities meant each audience segment received the message through a trusted voice, reducing the perception of paid promotion.

Why YKONE's strategy worked

  1. 1

    A concrete symbolic device, the elevator as a representation of movement and transition, gave 42 creators a shared visual anchor without dictating uniform execution. This preserved individual creator voice while making the campaign recognisable as a whole across 207 posts.

  2. 2

    Distributing the ORA narrative across multiple creator accounts, each covering a distinct facet such as style, strength, elegance, or freedom, meant different audience communities received the collection message through a voice already familiar to them, reducing the paid-promotion effect.

  3. 3

    Using a creator group to cover a live brand event can translate a physically constrained moment into sustained digital visibility. The volume of content from 42 creators likely spread platform exposure across the event period rather than producing a single spike.

  4. 4

    Casting at mid-tier international scale rather than concentrating budget on a smaller number of mega-influencers spread the ORA narrative across multiple audience communities simultaneously. The aggregate reported reach of 19.3 million suggests this distributed approach can match or exceed narrower mega-influencer strategies in total exposure terms, though no direct comparison is available.

  5. 5

    The approach appears repeatable: YKONE applied comparable methods to other Liu Jo campaigns, including the La Puffy Bag and La Puffy Hotel activations, suggesting the visual-concept-plus-creator-roster framework functions as a transferable model rather than a one-off.
