CASE STUDY 2:
HADES
We work with British knitwear brand, HADES, across all aspects of PR; from profile building to securing print and digital editorial coverage.
What did we do?
We worked with HADES to launch their ‘Inner Privacy’ collection; working closely with the brand to determine key media they wanted to be featured in and the kinds of influential people they wanted to wear their product.
We worked on an indepth PR plan to announce the ‘Inner Privacy’ collection to both UK and International media; drafting the press release, compiling a target media list, securing an exclusive announcement piece with Vogue.com and managing all aspects of press liaison.
The result?
Coverage was secured in titles including:
AnOther, ELLE, Cosmopolitan, Grazia, LOVE, Stylist, Sunday Times Style, The Telegraph, The Times and Vogue US.
Following the first collection drop selling out in hours, the knitwear brand was soon back with a second full scale restock, accompanied by an array of new campaign imagery, taken on both polaroid and 35mm film.

A competition won last year by British womenswear brand Rixo, the accolade will allow HADES to develop their international offering further and implement their strategy to establish HADES as a global brand
