On May 1, men’s online fashion retailer boohooMAN blazoned Nigerian dancehall songster- tunesmith Mr. Eazi as the frontman for its rearmost tracksuit edit. The cooperation marks the fifth ambassadorship advertisement from the brand this time. In January 2020, boohooMAN tapped influencer Simeon Panda alongside particular coaches The Harrison Twins, fitness model Fabrice Lemonnier and prizefighter Lawrence Okolie to star in its activewear crusade. Shortly later, UFC fighter Jon Jones came to the newest chapter, nearly followed by footballer Leon Bailey. Since February, the brand has changed its approach slightly, choosing to work with musicians rather than athletes. First with Seattle- grounded rapper Lil Mosey and now with Mr. Eazi.

So why the amended strategy? The following post will take a near look at boohooMAN’s four most recent influencer collaborations to hopefully gain lesser sapience into its unborn marketing plans.

To examine the brand itself, boohooMAN has over1.1 a million followers across Instagram and Twitter. Around 70 jokers on average and generally with followership in their twenties, it speaks primarily to two dominant cults in the UK( 76 on Twitter) and the US( 42 on Instagram), though Ireland, Brazil, Australia, Nigeria, and South Africa all appear as tertiary requests. London is the brand’s top megacity across platforms, though Manchester, New York, Liverpool, and LA also make an appearance. In terms of interests, boohooMAN’s followers like cologne, skincare, sportswear, sport, and home & theater. Crucially, music ranks particularly largely, with subsectors of rap, hipsterism- hop, and r & b claiming the utmost likes. None of the current ministers appear under celebrity influences for its followership, still, the appetite for fitness and music is there, with notable names including Anthony Joshua, Joe Wicks, Gary Neville, Tyson Fury, Plan B, and BEAST. On the face, it looks as though boohooMAN does enough thorough job of social listening, with common themes of sport and music running throughout its psychographic profile. Let’s see how each mate measures up in further detail to track the trip.

Jon Jones

Unveiled as boohooMAN’s brand minister on January 27, 32- time-old mixed martial artist Jon Jones was called ‘ arguably the stylish UFC fighter of all time ’ by brand CEO Samir Kamani, who cited an alignment of core beliefs as the provocation behind the 12- month cooperation. Jon has a total social reach of9.82 m and he’s perceived to be rebellious, independent, and stalwart. Jon is followed by generally manly followership in their mid-twenties which so far aligns impeccably with boohooMAN. also, the US and UK are Jon’s primary homes, with metropolises New York, LA, São Paulo, and Rio de Janeiro pulling in the maturity of his followers. This is due to his having a large fanbase in Brazil, which, again, appears in the brand profile as a crucial request. Critically, boohooMAN doesn’t appear as a brand affinity for Jon Jones ’ followership, though Nike, Reebok, Adidas, and Under Armour do.

Overall, boohooMAN’s decision to tap Jon Jones was a less political and further threat- antipathetic. Displaying active exploration, the pairing shows the true thickness and core alignment when it comes to demographics, which suggests the brand wanted to be sure their communication reached people most likely to convert.

Leon Bailey

Leon Bailey came boohooMAN brand minister on Jan 29 just many days latterly, modeling its denim crusade. The pro player cited brand morality and sentiment as the reason for the match, along with wanting to make people feel good about themselves ‘ I’m enthused about the product, creativity, and energy of the brand. It exudes individuality, flare, and panache. ’ The 22- time-old Bayer Leverkusen winger has a more modest reach of 509K on social compared with his precursor. Perceived as dominant, in control, and honest, Leon also speaks to primarily manly followership in their early twenties. His primary countries are the UK, Jamaica, Tanzania, and the US, with London, Manchester, New York, Kingston, and Dar es Salaam as top metropolises. Again, while boohooMAN doesn’t appear as a crucial brand affinity for Leon’s followers, Umbro, JD Sports, Puma, Topman and Hollister do.

Aligned across the maturity of requests, it may be that boohooMAN was attracted to Leon Bailey’s influence within new implicit homes in Africa and the Caribbean. His character as a footballer impeccably caters to his client’s partiality towards sports. Leon also has an a5.86 engagement rate on Instagram, which betters the the3.22 platform normally.

Lil Mosey

On February 3, boohooMAN rotated slightly, publicizing its collaboration with rapper and tunesmith Lil Mosey for its tracksuit crusade. According to the Washington-, born artist ‘ boohooMAN is the drip, the brand is blowing up daily. This collaboration feels natural to me, where I’m from tracksuits are core to a man’s style, I live in them – this edit just made total sense. ’ The 18- time-old musician has an emotional5.46 m reach, with below-average engagement on Instagram and YouTube. He’s perceived as swish, sophisticated and wise. Lil Mosey has a slightly larger womanish following on social with 30- 35 of the share. still, his followers are indeed all within the 20- 29 time type. Grounded in the US, UK, and Canada, Lil Mosey’s followers are generally positioned in Seattle, Chicago, LA, New York, Atlanta, and Madrid. Although a strong presence in the US, he’s thus just lacking the UK contingent that the brand relies on. Lil Mosey’s brand affections are slightly more luxuriant fashion acquainted with the likes of Ralph Lauren, Louis Vuitton, and Versace appearing alongside Vans, Footlocker, Porsche, and Mercedes.

With Lil Mosey, boohooMAN makes its incursion into the music sector, and despite slight disagreement, his expansive reach and character for being swish make it a fairly safe punt. also, his association with luxury, both in automotive and vesture would suggest an intention to move into a more elevated sensibility, adding loot to the traditionally casual field of loungewear.

Mr. Eazi

Eventually, boohooMAN’s most recent tracksuit edit is faced by 28- time-old musician Mr. Eazi. Continuing on down the artist route, Mr. Eazi has a slightly advanced6.09 m online reach. Perceived as innovative, creative, and inspiring, he again has many further womanish followers than his athletic counterparts but is still followed by mature manly followership in their twenties. Due to his nation, Mr. Eazi’s primary demographic sits in Nigeria, with the US, UK and Ghana following before. For that reason, Lagos, Accra, and Abuja are some of his top metropolises, still, London has come back to join the fray. Mr. Eazi’s brand affections are much more varied, with telecoms, alcohol, fiscal services, and electronic companies taking center stage. still, there are some developer fashion brands dotted amongst the list.

Mr. Eazi is a slightly left-field option for the brand owing to the geographical position of his fanbase and the adulterated interest his followers have in fashion or athleisurewear. still, boohooMAN knows its guests are into their music, and with a network that includes Ty Dolla$ ign, Diplo, and French Montana, teamed with his macro reach, they will no doubt follow Mr. Eazi.

In conclusion, all four recent ministers are good matches for boohooMAN in terms of primary requests, age demographic, and gender. relating music and sport as crucial marks within its client advocacy, boohooMAN has stuck to its pillars, rotating between the two. It remains to be seen whether the brand will continue down the road of art or valve back into its athletic roots, but no mistrustfulness an important combination of the two could be in its future.
