2014 NEWHOUSE FASHION SHOW Social Media Analysis Report

! of !2 15

REPORT SUMMARY !Background On Friday, April 4, 2014, more than 300 people attend Newhouse School’s annual fashion show at Syracuse University. I worked as a photographer taking photos of the fashion show backstage (see Appendix). !Each year the show picks a critical and trending topic that is being discussed in mass media. This year the theme of the fashion show is "Fashion in Motion: Health, Sports, Fitness and Fashion”. I made the “Fitness Fashion from 1900s to 2000s” video to show audiences how fitness clothes looked in the past century to kick off the show. !Additionally, I used Hashtracking to follow #NHfashion2014, #Covermoment and #bombshelling from April 4, 2014 to April 18, 2014 and analyzed the results.

!Social Media Objective Everyone working for or attending the fashion show was encouraged to tweet or post content on social media about the show. #NHfashion2014 is the hashtag we chose to increase awareness of the show. Since all models’ makeup is sponsored by Covergirl, our social media team also encouraged people using the Covergirl brand’s hashtag #covermoment and #bombshelling to help promote the Covergirl brand. !Example: #Covergirl sponsored makeup for the #NHfashion2014 show. Check out our #covermoment.

Cover Girl Photo Shoot

Besides encouraging models to do selfies and snapshot of the fashion show, I did the Cover Girl photo shoot after the models get their hair and makeup done. The main goal of this is to act as an advertisement for Cover Girl and our fashion show.
