Academic campaign proposal

#OneSizeForWho

Who is included when a brand says “one size fits all”?

I connected audience research, proposed influencer roles, and selected content scripts for a team campaign concept questioning sizing and gendered dress expectations.

My contribution connected the audience, proposed voices, and content tasks

This is an academic team proposal, not a commissioned or launched Brandy Melville campaign.

The team used role reversal, creator storytelling, and audience participation to turn a critique of sizing expectations into a social campaign concept. My work focused on defining who the idea should reach, what each proposed voice would contribute, and how selected content could support the strategy.

01

Audience research

Separated relevance, interpretation, and participation into distinct audience roles.

02

Influencer strategy

Connected proposed talent to AIDA stages and specific communication tasks.

03

Selected scripts

Helped translate strategic intent into selected content moments within the team proposal.

The campaign turned a sizing critique into a question people could recognize and discuss

The proposal needed to make an abstract expectation visible without stopping at brand criticism.

The central concept reversed familiar dress expectations: men would encounter the constraints the source deck describes women facing, while later content would shift the focus toward comfort, choice, and self-expression.

The campaign question

“One size fits all” - but who does “all” actually include?

The source deck calls this

Revenge

Role reversal, restricted movement, and humor create the proposed attention hook.

The direction then shifts to

Redemption

Comfort, agency, and personal expression give the campaign a constructive destination.

  1. 01Dark humor
  2. 02Discomfort
  3. 03Recognition
  4. 04Revenge
  5. 05Empowerment

This arc describes the proposal's intended narrative, not a measured audience response.

Three audience roles kept relevance, interpretation, and participation distinct

Most likely

Consumers with a direct stake

People affected by sizing exclusions and the communities already discussing those experiences.

Keep the campaign grounded in lived relevance.

Most valuable

Fashion voices who can interpret the issue

Editors, critics, cultural writers, and styling voices who can name the pattern behind the visual hook.

Move the conversation beyond a single reaction video.

Most influential

Creators who can make participation tangible

Fashion and lifestyle creators who can translate the idea into outfits, responses, and audience-made content.

Give the audience a recognizable way to participate.
237+posts discussing sizing and inclusion
210+replies in a pinned documentary discussion
~70%responses coded as dissatisfied in the source deck

These figures are records from the 2025 team proposal. The available material does not include a collection period, complete sample, or coding method, so the figures do not represent the current community or prove willingness to participate.

Each proposed voice had a communication task, not just a place in the lineup

  2. 02

    Interest

    Explain the expectations behind the visual contrast.

  3. 03

    Desire

Selected scripts translated each communication task into a concrete moment

Visual examples from the team proposal. The people, dialogue, and placements are campaign concepts, not confirmed participation or actual statements.

Attention / Awareness

Two-minute opening video and challenge

The opening introduces the inclusion question, then makes the issue visible through a proposed role-reversal fitting challenge.

Task: move from an abstract claim to a visible contradiction.

Interest

Forty-second quick-fire Q&A

Short questions shift the audience from seeing the contrast to understanding the dress expectations behind it.

Task: explain the campaign's point of view without repeating the challenge.
Proposed extensions

A 15-minute “Closet of Truth” interview and a proposed editorial article would carry the explanation into longer-form content. These formats remained concepts.

The eight-week plan kept intended behavior separate from the metric

Proposed targets - not campaign results

Weeks 1-2

Awareness

Help audiences recognize and name gendered expectations around appearance and dress.

  • 200 meaningful comments, shares, or saves
  • 50 comments that explicitly identify the unfair standard

Weeks 3-5

Participation

Invite related posts, personal stories, and responses using the campaign prompt.

  • 600 original or remixed posts using the campaign tag
  • 150 participants sharing a sizing, body-image, or exclusion experience

Weeks 6-8

Advocacy

Support continued public expression around sizing inclusion and dress expectations.

  • 1,000 cumulative participants
  • 300 advocacy-oriented captions
  • 2 articles discussing the campaign's cultural meaning

Every number above is a planning target. The source deck contains a conflict between its December 2025 cover date and its January-February calendar dates, so this case presents the sequence without publishing an unverified year.

The completed proposal is the outcome; campaign performance remains unverified

Team course recognition

Selected as the best project in USC CMGT-568: Influencer Strategies, Fall 2025.

My contribution clarified who the campaign should reach, what each proposed voice would contribute, and how selected content could support AIDA.

The available materials do not document live media spend, talent confirmation, editorial publication, audience engagement, or conversion.
