How Suzanne Kalan Captivated TikTok

Background
Suzanne Kalan's Visionary Leap into TikTok
Suzanne Kalan, the esteemed LA-based luxury jewelry designer, embarked on an ambitious journey to captivate the TikTok audience, a domain far removed from the traditional luxury market. Faced with the challenge of engaging Gen Z while preserving their refined brand image, Suzanne Kalan envisioned a Mother's Day campaign that would resonate with the new, dynamic audience of TikTok without sacrificing their essence of luxury and quality.
THE BRIEF
Striking a Balance Between Authenticity and Luxury
Suzanne Kalan's goal was clear yet complex: to carve a niche on TikTok, a platform known for its spontaneous and unpolished content. This task required a delicate balance between adapting to the platform’s authentic vibe and upholding the high standards of a premium brand.
Our guidance
Superside’s approach deviated from the traditional influencer model, which could dilute creative control and brand identity. Instead, the focus was on finding professionals with a social presence who could embody Suzanne Kalan's brand values. A real mother-daughter duo was chosen, ensuring authenticity and a personal touch, critical for the TikTok audience. This strategy led to the creation of the #DoubleTheLove campaign, resonating with TikTok’s trend-centric culture while maintaining brand integrity.
