Cider | Brand Social + OOH Campaign





Role Group Creative Director
Agency media.monks

            When growth hacking stopped hacking it for Gen Z fashion startup Cider, we created a brand campaign that focused on helping the audience dress how they feel (instead of how a faceless CMO wants them to want to feel). The out of home campaign took over NYC with a concentrated effort in Hudson Yards, and was accompanied by a large digital push.


















 Impressions 7 million in 1 month
 Aided Brand Awareness +55%
 Improved favorability for 76% of respondents
 Ads were liked by 86% of respondents  
 Consideration +25%
 Purchase Instent +19%
