  Entry description
   This integrated campaign involved SPH’s multi-media offerings On-Print (newspapers & magazines), On-Line (website verticals), On-Ground (events) and On-Screen (outdoor digital media). The campaign objective was to create “FASHION” buzz and excitement over six weeks during the Spring/Summer 2010 fashion season and generate shopping frenzy along Orchard Road, Singapore’s key shopping belt. The campaign promoted activities across 10 shopping malls and over 120 retail shops. Key events include fashion shows, workshops and exhibitions. The call for public participation was pushed out through a dedicated website that provided contest information, terms and conditions, registration forms, sign-ups for workshops and forums, media releases and regularly-updated calendar of events for FSO2010. Print, online and outdoor advertisements were utilised to hype up awareness for FSO2010 and its accompanying on-ground activities. This generated a high level of consumer engagement and interactivity. Through its fashion spreads, regional magazine advertisements provided pre-publicity aimed at drawing regional tourists to Singapore. These publications also flagged FSO2010’s key events which include a spectacular Catwalk Show featuring 125 models and 10 fashion labels. Another key programme, FSO Asian Models 2010 was publicised through print and online channels, where the public were invited to vote for their favourite models from across the region.
  The basic idea of your cross-media local project
   Fashion Season @ Orchard 2010 (FSO2010) was a six-week campaign held from 2 April to 9 May 2010. It celebrated “FASHION” in conjunction with the launch of the Spring/Summer season. This event was held in conjunction with the Asia Fashion Exchange (AFX), which is the equivalent of Singapore’s Fashion Festival.
The campaign aimed to attract Singaporeans, Singapore residents and tourists from around the region to visit Orchard Road to shop, dine, and be enthralled by a unique thematic fashion experience. FSO 2010 campaign aimed to attract 48,000 local shoppers and foreign visitors to shop at Orchard Road. The target expenditure per shopper was S$200.
The event deliverables of the campaign include a Fashion Party activation comprising multiple fashion shows held concurrently at various malls along Orchard Road on 2 April (launch day). In addition, a first-ever large-scale fashion photography street exhibition was staged along the stretch of pedestrian walkway fronting 10 shopping malls. 125 models also took to the catwalk in the Female & Nuyou Collection Show and Annual Orchard Street Runway show.

  The implementation
   SPH spearheaded this project which was initiated in October 2009 with proposals sent to our partners - Orchard Road Business Association, Singapore Tourism Board and MasterCard. To enhance consumer engagement and have the campaign connect with our targets, the theme “Fashion for Everyone” was introduced. So not only could consumers enjoy FSO 2010’s activities, they also went out to buy the fashions for themselves.
Media that were instrumental for the event’s success include dailies such as The Straits Times, a dedicated FSO microsite, AsiaOne Diva (women’s portal) and Rednano.sg search. Advertorials were placed in local and regional women’s magazines (Singaporean and Malaysian edition of Female and NuYou, Indonesian edition of Female, and the Thai and Vietnamese edition of Her World). Outdoor advertising using Street Banners and digital screens (outdoor and indoor) helped to reach people on the move and target them near the point of purchase so as to reinforce awareness and encourage shopping. All print, outdoor and online publicity carried the FSO logo, tagline and color scheme. All marketing materials point readers to a dedicated FSO website, supporting our idea of having a focused one-stop single identity location where people can find out more about the programmes.
