Men at Work scores online with her collaborating brands (Social War #16)

As a multi brand store, Men at Work successfully cooperates with international brands. This week Men at Work shows in our Social War research how the combination of unique brand qualities can lead to a strongly increased engagement. ‘In the summer of 2012’, IIZT created the adidas Originals X MEN_at_WORK | IN’N OUT parties. This was far ahead of its time.

With Minimum to Copenhagen
With a few selected ‘in store brands’, Men at Work brings its followers to the hometown of the brand. Every week another brand, every week another city. That’s how Minimum brings her fans to their birth town Copenhagen. The cooperation is mutually beneficial, as Minimum promotes Men at Work at their Facebook.

Cooperation increases engagement
The intensive offline and online cooperation doesn’t do Men at Work any harm. It shows a PTAT increase of +166% in the first week of the Men at Work travel week. It shows that a multi store brand can also be successful on social media channels.

We are very curious how the next destination will score.

SIDENOTE: Of course we realise that the fanbase of Men at Work is very different from for example Puma’s. This brand is also part of our ongoing Social War research. However, the effects are certainly measurable. The quality of the fanbase can be measured and we show that every fanbase can be activated with the right treatment.
