TOP PERFORMING
BRANDS:
 Fashion and cosmetic brands are more creative and innovative than watches & jewellery
 Chanel, Dior, Dolce & Gabbana, IWC and Swarovski shared some events with their fans such as the video showcasing
Paris-Salzburg fashion show from Chanel, the Dior’s Esprit Dior Tokyo 2015 Show, the Dolce & Gabbana’s Spring-Summer
collection show and Swarovski unveiling the preparation of Victoria’s Secret fashion show.
 Tiffany & Co, JCrew, and Hermes are celebrating Christmas with cartoon videos.
 Some of the best performing videos’ content is not directly related to Christmas such as the Jet Team performances by
Breitling, the Rally Nippon 2014 revealed by Alfred Dunhill and the Milan City Guide presented by LV.
• Brands show a high creativity in the formats, with
cartoons for JCrew and Hermes, film-director Frank
Miller’s contribution (Gucci) or innovative, useful
content users can relate to (Louis Vuitton in its Guide
to Milan).
• Gucci, Louis Vuitton and Chanel are the most popular,
while all-time star Burberry capitalises on its November
success starring Romeo Beckham by featuring the ad’s
track sung by musician Ed Harcourt in a “Burberry
Acoustic Sessions”.
• D&G prove the most popular and active on Facebook,
while Michael Kors reigns over Instagram with over 3.2
million followers and high interactions.
• Watch brands dominate December’s top 10 video
ranking with IWC, Breitling, Rolex, Jaeger-LeCoultre,
Bell&Ross and Tag Heuer, but jewellery brands
performed better in terms of interactions.
• A remarkable exception is represented by Rolex (7%
interaction rate) and Breitling (36%), both of which, on
the downside, had little views.
• Swarovski and Tiffany both kept up with their
outstanding November performance, with the latter
proving the most popular brand across all channels.
• Ralph Lauren continues successfully focusing on its
Instagram strategy.

Chanel are the best performing brands by

Michael Kors reaches good levels of
performance and activity by being the most
popular brand on Instagram and the 3rd most
popular brand on Facebook.
Dolce & Gabbana is one of the most active
brands (81 Fb posts) but it did not succeed in
securing high number of interactions.

Chanel. Christian Dior performed very well but has a smaller reach than Burberry. Yoox and
Tod’s gathered the highest increase in Fb fans with +22% each; especially Yoox might be profiting
from a buzz generated early on throughout November with its “A dinner party in...” series.
