Coach has used methods such as magazines, their website, and social media to promote their products and famous famous such as Gwyneth Paltrow and Kate Bosworth. This season, Coach, Inc. is promoting their Fall 2013 Collection through #CoachNewYorkStories, an advertising campaign featuring three "influencers", Karlie Kloss, Liu Wen, and Will Chalker, who all have a New York story.
Karlie lives in the West Village. She believes less is more, and her style is simple, timeless, and genuine.
Liu Wen knows New York is constantly changing, and she appreciates the beauty of the city: Uptown and Downtown, the West Side and the East, the city life and the beach. Liu Wen represents the feminine yet tomboy style.
Will believes that there is always something new to discover in New York. When he's not discovering new parts of the city, he's on a farm in the middle of England. He describes the two places as "night and day", but thinks the contrast is what keeps New York interesting. The city itself represents his style, and he knows that NY is where he is supposed to be.
These three faces all wear the latest trends that the company has introduced, from the "Borough Bag", a simple, chic, and sophisticated handbag that represents the "elegant ease" of the city, to the fur trimmed coat.
This campaign is the first time that all the products featured in the ad are from Coach, because as Coach transitions into a lifestyle brand, they need different tactics to be able to compete globally. #CoachNewYorkStories is the company's way of making people see that they are not just a bag brand. This seems as though Coach is using institutional advertising to promote the company, because as the company focuses on becoming a lifestyle brand, they need consumers to maintain a favorable attitude towards the brand.
Coach's revenue continues to grow by 21% every year, but analysts are worried that Coach changing it's direction after 72 years could affect the company's future growth. If this transition year is successful, Coach will then have established higher brand loyalty.
