A video project to raise awareness for McAlson's Belgian underwear.

• McAlson started 20 years ago and is now still a 100% family-brand managed by a father and his two sons.
• McAlson combines british preppyness, Italian finesse, French “je-ne-sais-quoi” and Belgian surrealism in top quality boxers for men. 
• In line with the brand creators’ lifestyles and characters, McAlson adds a little craziness to its posh and high-end image.

MCALSON'S GOAL

McAlson wanted to increase awareness in new markets, and especially in France. The brand was already established in Belgium, but they wanted to scale it internationally. By creating new campaigns with video, they wanted to reach a new audience and eventually start increasing sales in this new area. 

OUR SOLUTION

• We created 3 different videos to use throughout the year.

1. An autumn video that refers to the Belgian painter Magritte (in fact it was
   also used as advertising before a premiere about Magritte!) 
2. A video to use during to the golf season, as McAlson has a capsule golf collection.  
3. A Christmas video, because that's when their product is bought most as gifts. 

• We extracted social teasers, GIFs and cinemagraphs for distribution.
  

From the main videos, different formats (square, landscape and vertical) and different video types such as GIFs and cinemagraphs could be extracted. Our video distribution specialist used these to guide people from social channels towards McAlson's website. 

The videos were used to raise awareness, especially in France. After three months, the campaign had reached a total of 213.591 video views at a very low cost per view! According to McAlson's Manager, existing customers also reacted really positively to the videos because they were a perfect extension of the existing photograph content, staying true to the family's identity.
