Campaign Story

Vans wanted to raise awareness of a new in-store customisation service and bring more shoppers through its doors. FLC built an activation around two complementary draws: influencer visits that highlighted the customisation offering directly to shoppers in-store, and a live artist who could paint bespoke designs onto any pair of Vans chosen by the customer. The combination created an experience that was genuinely worth visiting — and filming. Influencers engaged with shoppers on the floor, demonstrated the service, and shared content that felt authentic rather than promotional. The live artist element added a performance component that made the store a destination in its own right. The campaign ran across October, November, and December 2023, producing over 100,000 Instagram views and 50,000 impressions. Shopper numbers increased notably throughout the campaign, with the seamless integration of the Vans brand with the influencer profiles cited as a key driver of results.

Key Takeaways

  • Influencer-brand integration that feels organic consistently delivers higher view counts and audience engagement than scripted content.
  • 100K+ Instagram views from an in-store activation demonstrates that physical retail experiences generate significant digital amplification when the concept is compelling.
  • Customisation services are inherently content-friendly 2014 every personalised pair is a unique, shareable story.
