— Case Study: Sky @ Berlin Fashion Week
From Sports Broadcaster to Lifestyle Brand. 

With Sky Snap (now WOW), Sky Deutschland aimed to reach new female and lifestyle-oriented audiences beyond its traditional sports market. To achieve this, I developed and implemented an activation and positioning concept at Stylight’s Fashion Blogger Conference during Berlin Fashion Week. The objective was to introduce Sky Snap to new female and lifestyle-oriented audiences and create the foundation for further growth beyond the traditional sports and TV market. Through a panel appearance, influencer collaborations and an interactive brand experience, Sky was positioned authentically within the lifestyle and influencer community.
