The Idea

Kate Spade stores become the ultimate doll dream house - a refuge from the mundanity of adult life. With over 83% of adults feeling stressed in daily life, we know shoppers are looking for opportunities to recharge. Kate Spade offers that opportunity through imagination and playing dress-up. A chance to reconnect with a childhood sense of play, discovery, and confidence.3

This is All Dolled Up.

The Execution

To successfully support this idea, we knew our activation had to be:

Uplifting and Encouraging Proves to guests that this is a safe opportunity to step out of their comfort zone and treat their inner child

Wrapping things up...

This activation is poised to be successful because every detail is thought out to surprise and delight guests in a way that fosters an emotional connection and builds brand loyalty - ultimately driving sales.

Kate Spade’s imaginative product lines and playful brand personality are already complementary to a dollhouse motif. So through implementation of fully immersive and nostalgic details in every inch of the store, the brand can create an impactful and memorable experience.

Play opportunities and gifts make the experience uplifting and rewarding for both long-time and new customers alike, encouraging them to return to Kate Spade in the future.
