The Guest List: recruitment.

The same idea as slide 8, run as a 12-week global recruitment campaign through wedding and occasion season, launched in the US and UK. What she encounters:

Explore the thinking

The thinking behind it.

  1. She sees it: the film cut down for Instagram, TikTok and YouTube; a "You're on the list" reveal of each guest; Pinterest when she searches "wedding guest dress".
  2. She stops: a face she knows is on the list, and the film feels like an invitation to a day she wants to be at, not an ad.
  3. She searches and clicks: Aje owns occasion search with The Guest List edit, by occasion, dress code and season; the AI stylist answers "a wedding next month, comfortable, under $600".
  4. She trusts it: prices in her currency including duties, clear returns, fit notes, and virtual or in-store styling.
  5. She chooses Aje, not another brand: the attitude, the craft and a styled answer for her moment.
  6. She buys and comes back: a welcome into membership; her event date triggers a styled edit, then Aje Studio and Aje Athletica for the rest of her week.
