Ralph Lauren Social Franchises and Creative Guidelines
2021
SOCIAL VIDEO DIRECTION
DESIGN DIRECTION
When the Ralph Lauren team begin to integrate multimedia social content into their marketing calendar, there was a need to develop clear guidelines for accessibility and to outline the types of content that would live on social channels such as Instagram Reels, Stories, and TikTok.
As a brand known for quality in products and in marketing campaigns, taking a bespoke video content approach continued that tradition of thoughtful consideration. For Ralph Lauren Polo's first ever TikTok franchises, I concepted multiple initial social-first creative approaches — a match cut content of the 30+ Polo shirt colors, and a series of "ways to wear" styling videos, showcasing five looks per model, focusing on the versatility of the Polo shirt and edited for a social media audience.
ON-SCREEN GRAPHICS GUIDELINES
The toolkit I built for Ralph Lauren provided guidelines for creating channel-right content, as well as how to apply brand elements including titles, subtitles or captions, and the clear space in which these elements can live.
These guidelines could be applied to channel-specific content or cutdowns from larger campaign moments across all platforms and deliverables sizes, inclusive of Youtube Videos and Shorts, Instagram Reels, Posts and Stories, and TikTok.


I developed our Five Ways to Wear It social programming as a foundation on which we could build equity on how we would capture various products and showcase different ways they could be styled, appealing to different customers and showcasing versatility and wearability. We captured the content using social-first direction, with match cuts and seamless transitions, for quick-paced and visually engaging short-form videos that could be captured on sets where we would already be capturing models in multiple looks.
