Project Information:
This research project, titled The Viral Path, delves into how start-up streetwear brands in London are adapting to the ever-evolving world of digital marketing.
After gaining valuable insights during my work with Ahluwalia, I came to understand the importance of crafting a strong brand image, particularly through social media. This experience, coupled with my long-standing passion for streetwear culture, led me to investigate how emerging London-based brands are finding their footing in today’s digital landscape.
By examining the challenges faced by these brands and their innovative use of digital marketing tools, this project aims to reveal how they connect with their audiences and where the future of London’s streetwear scene lies in a digital-first world.
