L’appel Eyewear: Creating Influence Amongst Influencers
Product Launch, Influencer Marketing, Media Relation Program
The Brief:
L’appel wanted to do more than provide designer-quality sunglasses at a price point that made sense for both creator and consumer. They wanted to create something beautiful and eco- friendly, made from renewable plant based plastic for the everyday, because L’appel believed everyone deserves maximum style and value for their hard-earned money. To achieve this, each frame is handcrafted with both subtlety and expression in mind, striving for just the right amount of air, just the right amount of simplicity—just the right amount of L’appel.
