“Authenticity drove engagement with digital natives.”


The Insight

Gen-Z audiences favour creators over traditional celebrities, particularly within gaming environments where authenticity is critical.

To connect meaningfully, Coach needed to embed itself within the platforms and communities Gen-Z already inhabited.


The Strategy

Coach partnered with influential gaming creators deeply rooted in Gen-Z communities across Roblox and ZEPETO.

Departing from a celebrity-led model, the campaign centred on community-first storytelling, championing self-expression and creator credibility.

The goal was to build trust through participation rather than promotion.


The Execution

  • Immersive in-game takeovers within Roblox’s Fashion Klossette and Fashion Famous

  • Creator-led integrations across Roblox and ZEPETO

  • Digital activations paired with real-world touchpoints

  • IRL product seeding and personalised mementoes

  • Flagship NYC event connecting virtual and physical audiences

The campaign delivered a seamless blend of gaming culture and fashion expression.


The Impact

By prioritising creators and community over celebrity endorsement, Coach built genuine engagement within Gen-Z gaming spaces.

The multifaceted activation redefined how fashion brands connect with digital natives through gaming, setting a new benchmark for authenticity in brand-led entertainment campaigns.
