To celebrate it’s 30th anniversary, Kenneth
Cole created a dynamic social hub with a
group of #30yrsbold hashtags to represent
the brand’s cultural and social boldness.
They aggregated social
content from Twitter,
Instagram, and Vine and
used it drive engagement
and encourage fans to
participate and share their
own brand experiences.
They sweetened the pot
with a hashtag sweepstakes
where fans could win a
$500 gift card as well as a
customized prize like a
street-style photoshoot or a
night out in NYC with a
special gallery tour.
