Insight

After living in the constant hustle of New York, leaving for a quieter suburban life can feel like losing a piece of your identity. 

Big Idea

Targeting people who are ex-New Yorkers. Living your whole life in New York and shifting to some random suburb can make people feel homesick, especially when missing that morning bagel.

#EXNEWYORKER

Outcome

British Gen Z will have a reliable go to for fashion emergencies, helping them dress confidently and appropriately for work.

Reflection

By tapping into the emotional nostalgia of ex-New Yorkers, the campaign resonated deeply with the target audience, proving that sometimes, a taste of the past is all we need to feel at home again. The emotional appeal was a key driver in increasing engagement and orders

Next Steps

Building on this success, we can continue to leverage the emotional connection with a focused push on seasonal or limited-edition offerings. Creating gift boxes tailored for homesick New Yorkers could also serve as a unique marketing angle and build deeper brand loyalty.
