Let’s talk about the importance of community marketing—especially for Gen Z. The pandemic caused this *curious* generation to miss out on a lot of the human connection that many of us millennials experienced in our early twenties. As the digital landscape continues to evolve, many brands are abandoning their offline marketing channels. But here’s a PSA for businesses targeting twenty-somethings: they want to engage face-to-face!Last month, we took over NYC’s beloved breakfast spot, Leon’s Bagels, to launch our new denim campaign. We stepped into an environment that we knew our customer was comfortable in—a trendy bagel shop with a yap-friendly outdoor patio. With custom GARAGE denim awnings and benches, pantone-matched pink bagels, and content opportunities at every turn, we transformed Leon’s into a space we knew our audience would be obsessed with.So, what happened? There was a line around the block of brand-aligned customers each day, and we had an amazing time connecting IRL with the future advocates of GARAGE!The takeaway: brands, don’t sleep on community marketing, especially for your Gen Z customers.

You know this made my heart explode. AND don’t tell anyone but I bought my first Garage piece as part of my research to see what you were doing. So proud of your hard work and natural gifts shining in the perfect role! Happy Thanksgiving Sola Desgagne

A few weeks ago, Garage Clothing introduced our Dream Closet at NYFW, where we met over 1000 influencers and creators during HerCampus’ Creator’s Loft.We’re obsessed with fashion as a form of expression — but why do you only get to experience NYFW if you’re invited to sit front-row at the Prada show? We wanted to create a space that roots fashion in inclusivity and individuality, and we were blown away by what we discovered! Thank you to each of the vibrant, creative and unapologetic people we met, styled and photographed. I also had the privilege of meeting a number of talented young marketers in the Mentor Lounge. Thank-you to HerCampus for the opportunity to mentor such a curious and passionate group of individuals. The next generation of marketers is about to shake things up. 🚀#creatorsloft #hercampus #mentor #nyfw #garageclothing

Thanks for the feature FashionUnited! Bobbi Wendland and I loved sharing the vision behind Garage Clothing's Active launch. Groupe Dynamite is relentless when it comes to obsessing over our customer, and ensuring she feels empowered when she's moving is no exception! https://lnkd.in/gcHtYAAT

I had the pleasure of speaking at McGill University this week, discussing Fashion Marketing andCreativity in the Experiential Economy. It's been quite some time since I 'stepped' into a classroom, and the curiosity and talent in the room was palpable. I'm hiring for two exciting intern positions on the Garage Clothing Marketing team, and if you're a 2024 University graduate, I'd love to hear from you!https://rb.gy/otcu7xP.S. Thanks for having me, McGill University!
