Described as staking its claim, one of the country’s leading fashion destinations continues to shine a light on its favorite luxury labels and brand arrivals. Further positioning Yorkdale as a global leader in fine fashion and fostering innovation, The Centre of Style brings to life a strategic foundation and full wing expansion. With plans in place to heighten top-of-mind awareness of its collection and increase overall sales, Yorkdale directs attention to its growing exclusive line-up. At the core of the campaign’s marketing strategy: experimenting with the creative balance between fashion and film. Understanding the need for engaging digital media content, first on Yorkdale’s to-do list is exploring different approaches to marketing and creating high quality content. Teaming up with acclaimed cinematographer, Amir Saeldani, (whose working credits include Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar) to produce a video- based campaign, the one-of-a- kind venue played with fashion- forward angles and snaps. “In an inventive twist, Saeldani shot the campaign on high-definition 6K. [It is] a concept that lends cinema-quality to video and creates the flexibility of using stills from footage to produce multi-faceted, multi-channel advertising for both digital and print media,” stated Lucia Connor, marketing director.
