During the event, as the runways became more industry-exclusive, digital became the primary channel to reach audiences. A comprehensive content strategy ensured the site and social channels were consistently updated with designer and event content aligned to rising search intent, driving discovery and directing audiences back to the site to watch livestreams.

Strategic paid activity further amplified reach.
