UI Design

The UI design mirrored the theme of the collection and photoshoot creative using a 1980s, retro inspired aesthetic with a focus on product imagery, bold typography and micro animations. The color palette echoed echoed the tones in the product collection, providing a cohesive look throughout.

Gamification

Rewarding buying behaviour with a game that creates an emotional response to drive engagement. The Marc Jacobs arcade game, a timed challenge where users aimed for the highest score before running out of lives. Top scorers featured on a leaderboard with a chance to win a cash prize. The game matched the campaign’s theme and design, with smooth, quick gameplay that encouraged repeated plays. Users could replay, check the leaderboard, and share their progress on social media to boost their score and improve their chances of winning.

Creative Direction

To bring the Marc Jacobs Spring/Summer collection to life, we proposed creating original imagery that immerses customers in a unique Little Marc Jacobs universe. An on-location photoshoot in Cape Town, South Africa with photographer Franck Malthiery, using retro settings and vintage-inspired props to match the collection's playful, nostalgic vibe. The custom imagery would showcase the products and be used across all channels throughout the campaign, with visuals tailored for each platform.
