Andy Warhol x DC Shoes Digital Campaign

Take a closer look at the Social Media broadcasting execution for the Andy Warhol x DC Shoes Collection

To honor the creative legacy of the preeminent American artist of the 20th century, we teamed up with The Andy Warhol Foundation to merge his vision with signature DC footwear and apparel styles. As a brand founded on the idea of “COLLISIONS,” we adopted a unique approach to the project by creating four themed narratives — WAR & PEACE, SAINTS & SINNERS, LIFE & DEATH, and STRENGTH & FRAGILITY.

With over 22M+ potential reach, the targeting was optimal for DC’s lifestyle audience alongside Warhol’s social following and general audience.

Content Curation

Collaboratively with Digital Team, we crafted an omni-channel Digital Marketing approach focused on building online sales and brand consideration.
