Tailoring a digital future for a heritage brand—

The Brief

At the start of 2020, T.M. Lewin was acquired by new ownership. As part of a new strategy to consolidate the brand, all retail outlets were closed and the business was restructured to meet its digital-first competition. We would deploy a strong social media strategy to create a new generation of customers for the 126-year-old British tailoring institution.

Action

Our social media content needed to elevate the style, quality and tailoring credentials of T.M. Lewin to reestablish it as a reputable brand. We established a content calendar for organic social posts which created a dialogue with followers to build community. We created a suite of thumb-stopping content with moving images and animations to bring to life the hero product.


Advice, styling tips and competitions also formed the backbone of our strategy and drove engagement for over 150,000 followers. In a time when people had fallen out of love with the brand, we established an ongoing content creator strategy, engaging fashion tastemakers, consultants and lifestyle talent to inspire others to revisit a British stalwart.
