Burberry isn’t the only fashion brand taking a holistic, cross-platform marketing approach to its online marketing. The lifestyle brand is now the first luxury brand to partner with Twitter in order to create an international, online “tweetwalk” show from London. The event also leverages Facebook, Chinese social networks Sina and Youku, Instagram, YouTube and an on demand live stream to distribute the content across the web simultaneously.

‘’We are thrilled to create the first ever ‘’Tweetwalk show’’ in partnership with Twitter. Twitter is instantaneous and I love the idea that streaming a show can be in many different forms. This collection is all about the most detailed hand crafted pieces and fabric innovation, creating a beautiful physical experience that is communicated digitally in dynamic and diverse ways and I love balancing those two worlds.’’- Christopher Bailey, Burberry Chief Creative Officer
