Wrangler Case Study

-

Background Information and Research
Wrangler Jeans are an authentic American style of jeans that has been a household name since 1947. After 70 years of being a well-known brand, Wrangler is still holding true to its heritage by offering timeless, quality products that span generations. The agency French/West/Vaughan has worked with Wrangler as its public relations agency since 1997. 
The Wrangler brand values its close ties to music, pop culture and the Western lifestyle, each of which influence the variety of podcasts and special collections the brand offers. Each garment is crafted with care for both the finished product and the land it came from. Wrangler wants to focus on the use of sustainability and wants all of the brand’s products to be made with 100 percent sustainable practices by 2025.
Campaign Results
Wrangler chooses to do social media content collabs to drive brand impact during shopping seasons. Wrangler and Stetson paired up for this influencer marketing campaign on Facebook and Instagram. Stetson is a western style cowboy hat brand that follows along with the same values that Wrangler follows. 
Wrangler’s campaign allowed a wider range of customers to see the Wrangler brand and/or the Stetsons brand. They delivered a full-funnel campaigns to drive brand impact during shopping seasons. Campaign components featured influencer marketing and interactive placements on Facebook and Instagram.
KPIs on the social media sites used measured awareness, consideration and conversion metrics. Results included a significant lift in website traffic, ecommerce conversion rate and revenue. 
Conclusion
Even though Wrangler is such a well known brand, it continues to work hard to keep the credibility to its name. Wrangler has changed with the times by bringing up the idea of being sustainable by 2025. I think if they don’t make this goal it could hurt the company. Being completely sustainable by 2025 is a hard task to accomplish.
Keeping in the influencer market by pairing up with Stetsons was a smart move on Wranglers part. Western culture is currently booming in fashion and having a “cowboy” hat is a major fashion trend. Wrangler road that coat tail by making it a statement to be in Wrangler jeans and a Stetsons hat. I think Wrangler does need to watch out for competitor Levi, as they are using A-status celebrities to brand their products and that can be a quick way to sway consumers minds.

Stuck at home for spring break

-
Spring break for college students is always an interesting time of the year. As students, we are as broke as a person can be, yet we still plan crazy expensive trips to Florida each spring break. I am very broke and also have very broke friends so each year I spend spring break in cold, dreary Ohio. Each year I make the most out of my spring breaks and choose to do fun, but inexpensive activities throughout the week. Here are my top 3 favorite things to do when stuck in Ohio. 1.  Axe throwing I know this sounds kind of dangerous. It is such a great experience and it 100% safe. I went to Class Axe in Cincinnati. It was about $32 dollars per person to go and you can have up to 12 people in your lanes. You learn fun little games that give you chances the throw the axes all the time. It gets your adrenaline pumping because you want to win the game for your team. I almost was my lanes ultimate champ, no big deal. You get to choose a fun ‘axe’ name instead of having a real name a

Learning to feed the content monster

Social media is a great tool and I’ve been using it ever since my mom let me get facebook when I was maybe 12 years old. Which now that I think about it is too young to be on the internet with a public profile. My facebook still has embarrassing photos of me from 7th grade I swear. In my social media principles class, we are reading a book by Guy Kawasaki called, The Art of Social Media . I’ve only read the first three chapters so far, but each page is beyond insightful. One of my favorite sections is about “feeding the content monster” which is exactly what blogging is like. Finding content, creating said content, and making it interesting enough that those viewing it don’t click away. That may seem easy but it really isn’t. The most useful tip in chapter two for me is the idea of creating an editorial calendar. This is essentially a map of what content to post when, where, why, and to whom. Kawasaki himself is not a huge fan of mapping content out in an editorial calendar bu

When will he jump the fence?

-
I have an earlier blog talking about the Bachelor’s social media and I am going to write another one. ABC is so smart in how they choose to market their audience. All Bachelor fans love the added drama to the season, plus a good tease. This season they tease Colton jumping over a fence and losing his mind. This happened in the very first in January. It is not March and they are just now saying it will be aired on this episode. People have been making joke Twitter accounts constantly tweeting if he’ll jump the fence. People are creating content focused around this 10 second clip in general. It is crazy how such a little thing was marketed so well. The fence fiasco is giving the show so much good publicity. Millions of people who know what the Bachelor actually is are tweeting, creating Facebook memes and event posting stuff on Instagram about the stupid fence. I am not usually one to get sucked into the madness but even I’m excited to see why Colton Underwood jumps the fence! I have
