Fashion Friday with #EvieWhy

Finalist in YouNow

Objectives

Can't decide what to wear? So does popular YouNow live streamer, Evie Why. But what are fans for? Fridays are FASHION FRIDAYS on the daily #EvieWhy YouNow broadcast, and the audience rules when choosing the latest couture their favorite Influencer should wear. When Evie asks, the fans decide what she'll don for a weekend BBQ, her next job interview, or even a first date this weekend.

Strategy and Execution

Live streaming is a visual, in-the-now medium and nothing resonates more than fashion. Girls check out guys, guys check out girls, and yes, girls also check out what girls are wearing. This became the perfect scenario for Roker Media to involve Millennials and Gen Z in the hottest fashion for her weekly escapades. When Evie goes live, she speaks to over 175,000 fans. Her almost 10 million views are nothing to sneeze at. We started Fashion Friday in the Fall and it was an immediate hit. Now, brands are beating a path to our door to sponsor episodes and show their latest styles, however we are taking a methodical approach to this. One the one hand; be too branded and the core audience may leave. On the other hand, this could really be a great way to show up-and-coming fashions from disruptor designers. And of course, Evie Why is our lovely fashionista. Fashion Friday has all the ingredients to be the voice of a new generation when it comes to clothing and expression!

Results

As noted above, we are in talks with several sponsors now. We intend to have a more formalized unveiling of a gently branded version of Fashion Friday this Spring. Watch this space!
