Marc by Marc Is Casting Its Next Campaign on Twitter and Instagram
Yesterday, Marc by Marc Jacobs announced it would scout the face of its fall 2014 campaign on social media and accept submissions via the hashtag #CastMeMarc. Unsurprisingly, enterprising young upstarts with artistic selfies began to immediately flood the zone. Considering Marc Jacobs’s marketing track record — from Victoria Beckham’s dangling legs in a shopping bag to controversial brand ambassadors Miley Cyrus and 64-year-old Jessica Lange — the mining-social-media tactic comes as no surprise. Perhaps it’s yet another sign that newly appointed creative directors Katie Hillier and Luella Bartley are taking pains to keep the brand cool. Click through our slideshow to see highlights from the submissions so far, including professional head shots, stage moms, and blurry web cams.
