The Challenge.
Luxury brands operate within tightly defined visual and tonal standards, where perception is shaped as much by consistency as by creativity. On social media, however, these standards are often challenged by decentralised content creation and the variability that comes with creator-led execution.
For Chopard, this tension was heightened by the launch of its eyewear collection. Introducing a new product category required visibility, but visibility on social media often comes at the cost of uniformity. Allowing creators to produce content independently risked fragmented aesthetics, uneven quality, and misalignment with the brand’s refined social media communication guidelines.
At the same time, launch moments demand impact. Inconsistent backdrops, uneven styling, or fragmented timing could dilute attention and weaken the sense of occasion critical to a luxury debut.
The launch demanded a level of execution that could deliver impact on social media while preserving the consistency, restraint, and coherence expected of a luxury brand., ensuring creative expression did not come at the expense of brand consistency or perception.
