Lack of transparency and an old-school playbook make Holt Renfrew’s latest cause marketing campaign so out of style
Summary:
Alongside the new-retro styles of fall 2012 like the modern geometric Prada and MiuMiu prints and the reinvented lady looks by Louis Vuitton and Valentino, Holt Renfrew’s latest cause marketing campaign is decidedly dated. Recently, Holt Renfrew and Missoni partnered to create a limited-edition, worldwide-exclusive plush bear and elephant that will support OrphanAid Africa. This cause marketing campaign is the equivalent of a 1988 Christian Lacroix pouf skirt because of its old-school playbook, lack of transparency and cause and consumer mismatch.
