Creative Execution

Our idea was to give these young females their fashion identities back virtually without ever taking their creativity to the streets. Flake’s new “Mix & Match” application on Facebook inspired fashion lovers to be themselves, and design their outfits from the top fashion brands across the nation. With a simple interface users could choose what best suits them fits their personality and matches the occasion. Outfits were saved into a gallery, the highest voted entries were chosen weekly and winners awarded valuable shopping vouchers. The same simulation was taken to reality in the place where they feel most comfortable, universities. Female students were encouraged to design the perfect outfit on a mannequin in a pop up Flake design studio, live in front of their peers. The outfit with the most votes next to it won. Winners shared their pictures on the fanpage and were crowned as the “University Fashionista

Insights, Strategy and the Idea

Flake has been a chocolate underdog since its launch in 2010. Set to make an impact in 2011, Flake never saw the light due to the overturn of the country with the first revolution. Forced to cancel activity, Flake never managed to get the proper launch it deserved. Two years later, as the brand failed to grow we still couldn’t support it. Operating in a highly competitive environment with chocolates supported continuously, how could we grow this infant brand, create clear differentiation, grow awareness and make a mark in our target 18-24 females AB’s minds especially that we could not even afford to be on TV for one month. When it came to the brands target of fashion forward young females, while the country suffered from religious divide and dire political circumstances, society forced her to be more conservative than ever, especially when it came to how she dressed.
