Definition of a brand ! Â ! A brand is defined as any company, product, person or service, which acquires a distinctive identity that communicates certain meanings and values to its customer base. (Jackson and Shaw, 2009). A brand can be identified through its name, logo, slogan, physical products and retail environment (Posner, 2011).

3.! Valentino’s History & USP!  ! Valentino Garavani is universally admired for his exquisite couture creations and red carpet gowns. Now retired from the label, he remains an influential figure in the fashion world (Vogue, 2012). Having established himself as a haute couture designer in Italy by 1967. He went on to design his most innovative collections, working with the concept of no- colour by focussing on beiges, white and ivory hues and created his iconic V trademark label (Vogue, 2012). In the summer of 2008, after announcing his retirement, Valentino went on to create his last ever ready to wear show in Paris, which was modelled by Naomi Campbell and Eva Herzigova (Vogue, 2012). Now in the present day, Valentino is under the control of CEO !
Stefano Sassi and creative directors Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli (Valentino, 2015). Stefano Sassi has helped rejuvenate the brand into an innovative and unique powerhouse, through product extension ranges and diffusion lines whilst still staying true to Valentinos core principals of femininity, elegance and distinct design. ! Valentinos prestigious heritage remains paramount to its USP, combining innovative design through artistic collaborations with emerging and renowned artists (Valentino, 2015), elegant construction, distinctive fabrics and embellishment which makes a garment truly Valentino. ! !

4.! Valentino’s target market ! ! Valentino has moved away from its traditional target market of only being accessible to the elite few and brought a brand that focussed on exclusivity to now focus on providing elegance, modernity and an air of coolness to the brand (BOF, 2014). Valentino whose core consumer is 25-40 year old woman, maintain its original market of socialite’s and celebrities but also appeals to; the modern day young, chic and well travelled upper class woman who want elegance, femininity and modernity tied into one (Valentino, 2015) A typical Valentino customer would be a high powered entrepreneurial women used to living a luxurious city lifestyle. Exclusivity and innovative style is central to her needs, as well as an interest in travel, culture, art and social events. ! !

8.! PR! Â ! PR is essential in establishing and managing relationships with the public and media, a brand comes into contact with (Moore, 2012). Valentino uses many PR strategies to gain press and media coverage for its latest collections and enrich the brand image (Moore, 2012). ! ! !
Figure 21: Haute couture collection !
Catwalks shows ! Â ! Valentino uses catwalk shows primarily for the Haute Couture and r e a dy - t o - we a r collections, which are then displayed in video on the Valentino website for the public to view ( Va l e n t i n o , 2 0 1 5 ) . Catwalk shows enable luxury brands to show off and embellish the most tangible part of the brands image (Moore, 2012). Va l e n t i n o presented Haute Couture at the Mirabilia Roma Haute Couture fashion show 2015/2016 and New York Haute
Couture fashion show 2015/2016 which was inspired by Valentino no-colour collections in 1 9 6 8 ( Va l e n t i n o Garavani museum, 2015). Through using catwalk shows to present the most exclusive collections, Valentino was able to present the garments in a theatrical manner that summed up the brands identity of femininity, elegance and distinct design and to create a platform of interest and curiosity for the readyto-wear catwalks and accessories collections to follow. !

Sponsorship! ! Sponsorship is an effective way to gain credibility through sponsoring charity eve n t s o r m u s i c personalities that reflect the values of the brand and image the brand wants to be associated with (LeaGreenwood, 2013). Maison Valentino has sponsored the fundraising event ‘cash and rocket tour’ for the last three years (Valentino, 2015). Valentino designed a special capsule collection where 20% of the proceeds will be donated to the
causes (Valentino, 215). By sponsoring a fundraising event, Valentino enhances the credibility of the brand, which in turn will strengthen their brand image and sales, as customers want to invest in a brand that stands by moral principles. Although only the Maison Valentino sponsors the event the reputable brand image and positive press will emulate a strong brand image across all lines. ! ! ! Figure 22: Cash Rocket on tour!
Celebrity endorsement! ! Valentino does not directly endorse celebrities to represent the brand, f a v o u r i n g h i g h p r o fi l e models to model and advertise their diffusion lines and extension ranges, which enables them to maintain a high fashion status. However Valentino does participate in celebrity seeding; loaning or donating products to a celebrity who reflect the values and style of Valentino. Celebrities can then be photographed by the media at celebrity events and promoted on Valentinos social platforms and high fashion magazines such as Vogue, Harpers bazaar and Elle wearing the latest
collections. REDValentino also use celebrity seeding however use celebrities that have a younger demographic following and the fun, chic, REDValentino lifestyle. ! ! Press release! ! Press release offers journalists the latest news a n d i n fo r m a t i o n a b o u t collections and events that haven’t previously been available (Moore, 2012). Valentino present the latest news and press updates on their Maison website providing detail on the latest collections, events, award shows and celebrity news (Valentino, 2015). !

Advertising! ! Print! ! The ready-to-wear and Valentino Garavani use the print advertising in high fashion magazines such as Vogue, Harpers Bazaar and Elle m a g a z i n e. A l t h o u g h online advertising is i n c r e a s i n g i n p r eva l e n c e, d i g i t a l images lack the impact of aesthetically stimulating and expertly styled fashion imagery of print advertising. Although marketing different aspects of
Valentino, both the ready-to-wear and Garavani 2015 advertising prints use the same layout, mood and emphasise Valentino’s USP.! ! REDValentino although targets a younger audience through more upbeat, fun and playful print images and t y p o g r a p h y , R E DVa l e n t i n o s t i l l reflects Valentino’s main values through the layout, fresh faced and simple look of the models.! !

Online and TV campaigns! ! Online advertising and TV campaigns are used primarily to promote Va l e n t i n o ’s e x t e n s i o n ranges and diffusion lines to a wider market. Online advertising enables Valentino to have more control on who sees the advertising thus connecting with the right customer (Moore, 2012). Valentino use interactive mobile and online adverts, that consumers can click on to direct them to the Valentino website. This method was used earlier in 2015 to promote the ‘mime’ Va l e n t i n o G a r a v a n i collection through exciting
imagery and video adverts on the British vogue website to increase clickthrough to the online site (luxury Daily, 2015). ! TV campaigns have been used to promote Valentino’s fragrance lines, such as the 2012 Valentina by Valentino c o m m e r c i a l ( Yo u Tu b e, 2012). Although the commercial is targeting primarily a less affluent and wider demographic, the use of a high profile model; Fr e j a B e h a , Va l e n t i n o garments and a costly set enables the brand to maintain an image of exclusivity and create a level of aspiration for the target consumer. ! !
Figure 30 & 31: Film & home page!
Promotional videos! ! Video has become one of the most powerful tools i n v i s u a l communications enabling brands to quickly establish a strong presence and visual identity through creative film (Moore, 2012). Valentino readyto-wear line, use promotional videos to promote the work that goes into the making of the garments and behind the scenes clips such as the ‘gentle shades of colour: Fall/Winter 2015 collection’ video (YouTube, 2015). The use
of video enables clients to see the inspiration, innovation and labour, which go into each garment. Though a wider audience can view video online, the quality and creativity of the videos create an increased s e n s e o f ex c l u s i v i t y (Moore, 2012). Video is also used to promote Valentino’s diffusion line REDValentino through high quality film and the same creative style as Valentino, however the films produced promote the lifestyle and mood of the brand through fun graphics to appeal to a younger demographic.!

Concept stores !  ! Concept stores are an effective way of closing the loop between online a n d o f fl i n e s a l e s , incorporating the latest technological innovations to create an experience for customers to engage with in store (Guardian, 2014). Valentino, in 2012 created the new store concept for its men and woman’s ready-to-wear and Va l e n t i n o G a r a v a n i collections. The new store concept aims to preserve the grace and elegance of
the house while incorporating a digital revolution into its stores through innovative and iconic elements such as lighting, tone and atmosphere to create a personal experience for each customer (Valentino, 2015). ! R E DVa l e n t i n o r e l i e s primarily on its e-store, however the diffusion line does use pop-up stores to generate attention and interest from the public and media. ! Â !

Online website! ! A brands website is the first point of call for! consumers to gain more information about the brand and to learn about what products and services the brand has to offer (Moore, 2012). Valentino has ‘Maison Valentino’ for haute couture, ready-to-wear collections and Valentino Garavani (Valentino, 2015). The website directly reflects Valentino’s USP by using images linking to current collections, videos, clear categories for each product range and a black and white colour scheme. By promoting haute couture collections online Valentino maintains exclusivity however they are mainly for aspiration and a point of reference. The website is targeted primarily towards a wider target audience by displaying different price points on the ready-to-wear, Valentino Garavani and fragrances which can be ordered or pre-ordered online (Valentino, 2015). ! ! !
! REDValentino is accessed on an entirely separate website, enabling the diffusion line to target and capture a much younger demographic through a more fun, i n n o v a t i v e a n d c o l o u r f u l w e b s i t e. REDValentino has created ‘red life’ a fashion forward chic lifestyle e-magazine for its target consumer to follow (redvalentino, 2015). REDValentino still maintains the femininity and distinct design of Valentino through the layout, typography and style of the main site, however with the use of cinemagraphs, bold colours and a younger tone of writing enables Valentino to differentiated the diffusion line to a younger demographic. !
Figure 35 & 36 : social media and social media logos !
Social media! Â ! Valentino uses a wide range of social media platforms to interact with its customers and voice the values and ethos of the brand. Valentino uses F a c e b o o k , Tw i t t e r , Pinterest, Instagram, YouTube and Snapchat. The brand shares the latest collection images and videos, fashion shows, magazine edits and celebrities photographed wearing Valentino product and extension lines. This

enables a wide audience to personally engage with the brand and keep up to date with the latest trends and who to follow and aspire to. REDValentino operates its own social media platforms. Although less social platforms are used, social media is central to REDValentino to engage with a younger audience with more personalised content through using competitions, art illustrations and fun hash tags. ! Â !
33|!
Direct marketing ! !
Although Valentino and REDValentino do not use the traditional form of direct mail, they allow customers to subscribe to a newsletter informing customers of the latest collections and upcoming events (Valentino, 2015). This allows Valentino to remain exclusive by only targeting their direct customers but enables Valentino to collate information on their customers buying, enabling Valentino to use more personalised marketing communication (Jackson and Shaw, 2009). ! Sales promotion! Â ! Due to Valentino being a luxury and exclusive brand, its target customers are willing to pay the high prices for the image and status of what owning a Valentino product provides. For this reason Valentino does not need to use sales promotions to develop customer relationships or damage the exclusivity of the brand by using sales promotions that would make higher priced product lines more accessible to a wider market.!
