Liu Jo, the renowned Italian fashion brand, has unveiled its new iconic bag, La Puffy, and entrusted YKONE with crafting a comprehensive digital marketing campaign to build excitement and visibility.

YKONE executed three distinct activations throughout the year to generate buzz across the Italian, French, Spanish, and German markets. We cast 59 influencers and managed every aspect of the campaign, from creative concepts and event production to content creation and talent management. With content production by YKONE and autonomous content creation for Instagram and TikTok, the campaign flourished under our artistic direction, generating significant visibility for the brand.

A Night With Liu Jo La Puffy

For the November launch of the La Puffy metallic bag, YKONE orchestrated an exclusive “puffiness”-themed event at Milan’s Maka Loft, transforming the venue with a metallic silver wrap that mirrored the bag’s design. We managed the creative concept, art direction, and production, ensuring every detail—from the venue to photo ops—enhanced the experience.

YKONE invited 30 influencers, who received a La Puffy pillow invitation that turned into an unboxing moment. The event featured interactive experiences like a “hug meter,” a secret puffy disco, and live balloon art, all designed to immerse guests in Liu Jo’s La Puffy world.

La Puffy Bus

In March, the second campaign activation took place in Madrid, where six influencers embarked on a unique journey aboard a custom double-decker bus, designed entirely around Liu Jo’s La Puffy bag. The bus featured bag displays, puffy mirrors, and pastel backdrops, all reflecting the brand’s essence.

Influencers received mysterious invites with tickets for the La Puffy Bus experience. The day included three challenges: a “Bagsonality” quiz, a “color hunt” around Madrid, and a bake-off. Teams captured their adventures with Polaroid photos, while YKONE managed all details from design to content production, ensuring a cohesive and engaging influencer experience.

Stop & Smell The Flowers

For the third and final activation, YKONE brought a burst of color to the streets of Milan, Paris, and Cannes throughout April and May. In Milan and Cannes, custom Apecars, and in Paris, flower-adorned bicycles, attracted passersby.

To drive store visits, YKONE offered free bouquets, flower-themed lollipops, and a 10% discount. Cards and coupons redeemed these gifts, boosting in-store traffic and highlighting Liu Jo’s designs. Inside the store, a bespoke cart showcased the flower-themed display alongside the Liu Jo bag collection, offering a unique shopping experience.
