Early-Stage Integrated Copywriting Campaign
The idea:
A 4 in 1 Hoodie and Cargo set, where the hoodie can turn into a vest, a sweater, and the cargo can turn into shorts, as well as the whole set can be turned into a bag.
BRIEF DEVELOPMENT
Client Information:
- Client Name: Jessica
- Company/Organization Name: 4 IN 1
Project Details:
- Problem: Fast fashion has been a huge problem in this industry, inflation currently affects the current prices
- Project Objective (what do you want to achieve with this campaign?): Products can give audiences a saving plan.
Audience:
- Audience Demographics: teenagers-20s (uni students & fresh grad workers) and 30s (professional workers) - Millenials to Gen Z
- Key Messages (what messages do you want to convey to your audience?): Say no to fast fashion/ saving plan on clothes/ save the environment - less clothes thrown away
- What does the audience currently think about current clothing items out there (specifically hoodies and cargo pants)?: Typical daily wear
- What do we want them to think about the brand/product?: Comfortable, minimalist, practical, fun(comes in many colours) and budget-friendly
- What challenge will this campaign help solve for the customer?: Money - saving money is essential these days
- What actions do you want the audience to take?: Going to the pop-up stores from the brand in different cities for people to try out the products and have a lucky wheel (free items/set, 5% or 10% off) by sharing and tagging the brands on social media, more people could know about the brand, events, quality of the product and the products that are being sold. Even when they do not know a brand but by curiosity especially in some cities where they rarely get an event, this could easily attract more potential customers.
Creative Vision:
- Tone or Desired Look and Feel that we want in our products: Comfort and casual (sometimes could fit well for sporty looks)
- These are the examples of Creative Work that we Admire:

BRAND POSITIONING
USP
Step 1: Identify your target audience.
Demographics: teenagers (under 18) / 20s (college students and recent graduates) / 30s (professional workers) (Millenials to Gen Z)
Step 2: Jot down the problem your product solves.
Save your clothing budget and reduce the weight of your luggage when travelling. The most important thing is that turning one piece of clothing into 4 pieces of clothing is a great help for environmental protection. After inflation, everything starts getting more expensive and people would rather spend money on what they need than what they want (renting or groceries are the need and clothes or cosmetics are the want). We want to focus on Canadian customers and give them a chance to help them not spend extra money on their spending habits. (A problem to Canadians after the inflation is the grocery goes up so high that people would rather go to the US than buy inside Canada)
Step 3: List what benefits set you apart.
Our product is a four-in-one product that can transform from a hoodie into a vest and sweater, overalls into shorts, and the entire suit into a bag. This kind of design can save space and improve practicality. It can not only help your backpack lose weight when travelling but also save money on clothes in daily life. Also, all the tax is already included in the total price of the set so all Canadian customers are treated equally by not paying the different taxes in each province. Customers won’t have to spend money on different styles when they already have our product which is 4 in 1.
Step 4: Clearly define your promise.
Our product promise is to provide versatile, practical and cost-effective products for clothing, providing convenience, functionality and value for money in every aspect of our 4-in-1 sets.
Step 5: Combine all in one paragraph.
Our product caters to a diverse demographic ranging from teenagers to those in their 30s, including college students, recent graduates, and professional workers, spanning from Millennials to Gen Z. We aim to address the rising costs of living, particularly in Canada, where inflation affects essentials like groceries, prompting individuals to prioritize needs over wants. With our innovative four-in-one clothing solution, which seamlessly transforms from a hoodie into a vest and sweater, overalls into shorts, and the entire suit into a bag, we offer practicality, versatility, and space-saving benefits, ideal for travellers and everyday life. By consolidating multiple garments into one, we not only help reduce luggage weight but also promote environmental sustainability by encouraging fewer purchases. Moreover, our inclusive pricing strategy ensures all Canadian customers are treated equally, with taxes already included in the total price. Our commitment lies in providing cost-effective, functional, and convenient clothing solutions, delivering value in every aspect of our 4-in-1 sets.
Step 6: Condense it in one sentence.
Our innovative four-in-one clothing solution caters to a diverse demographic, spanning teenagers to those in their 30s, addressing rising living costs, particularly in Canada, by consolidating garments to reduce luggage weight, promote sustainability, and offer inclusive pricing, delivering cost-effective, functional, and convenient clothing solutions.
SWOT
Strengths:
- Our products are novel in design, and the four-in-one design provides a variety of wearing methods and is highly practical, convenient and cost-effective. Our products are designed with environmental awareness, which reduces clothing waste and is in line with modern consumers' concerns about environmental protection.
Weaknesses:
- Visibility and market competition, there are too many competitors in the clothing market, so we need to break through the characteristics and improve the visibility of our brand.
- Hoodies and cargo pants are common designs that can be easily seen on many sites and customers may not sure if they want to buy something that they already have.
Opportunities:
- Our product design is very special. In the future, we hope to expand the market and develop into every country.
- By doing the events by going to different cities, more potential customers could be just curious about the event and go there to try it out.
Threats:
- There is too much competitive pressure in the clothing market, there are similar products on the market, and with the current economic instability, sales are also affected.
- This is a new brand and many customers would rather spend money on a well-known brand that has been seen in the industry for a long time.
- The price could be a reason why people may not want to spend their money because by doing 4 in-1 with unique designs, the production price plus the retail price to keep the brand stable could be quite expensive.
