HONOR | 400 Series Launch · PR, Influencer & Media

Taking a global launch into local culture.

For the HONOR 400 Series launch, we localised an international campaign through creators and popular culture influencers rather than technology influencers.

The brief

Use Key Opinion Leaders and traditional PR to build awareness, excitement and visibility at the moment of the HONOR 400 Series launch, spotlighting innovation, performance and design.

The strategy

Localise an international campaign so it resonates and becomes part of culture. Lead with creators and popular culture influencers, not technology influencers.

Our approach

A 360 PR campaign. Our Key Opinion Leaders invited consumers into the world of HONOR through storytelling that spoke their language, letting the product features blend effortlessly into their lifestyles.

It showed clearly that the HONOR 400 Series wasn’t just an add-on, but an important part of their everyday. Supported by media planning and buying for HONOR.
