To promote the UNIQLO UT sub-brand of graphic T-shirts, created in collaboration with renowned brands and designers, the clothing company partnered with the social transformation company 1000heads for a dynamic UNIQLO UT Experience at Pitt Street Mall in Sydney last week.
This event showcased the diverse UT range through an engaging and interactive activation. The UNIQLO UT range of T-shirts champions culture and individuality, fusing fashion, art, music, and self-expression. The key message was: UT empowers consumers to unapologetically showcase their interests and personality through fashion choices.
The activation, branded ‘UTGO,’ featured a three-phase approach, incorporating a physical installation as well as digital and social components, offering participants the chance to take a personality quiz that pinpointed their ideal UT T-shirt.
Through this ‘WHAT UT RU’ virtual experience, they received a voucher for a free UT T-shirt, redeemable at UNIQLO Mid City, Sydney.
To generate more awareness around the collection, UNIQLO also launched a social competition using an AR filter. By sharing their best “WHAT UT RU” selfies participants could win one of two $500 UNIQLO vouchers.
On the event day, 1000 T-shirts were distributed, and an array of UT T-shirts was displayed, highlighting some of the most popular brand collaborations.
Daniel Koublachvili, 1000heads creative technology director, said: “The UNIQLO UT activation seamlessly blends our technology and creative expertise with a fun personality quiz that matches participants with their ideal UT T-shirt, creating a personalised connection to the brand. It’s an immersive experience that encourages self-expression while showcasing the diverse UT range. We’re proud to partner with UNIQLO to bring this vibrant event to life and celebrate individuality.”
Molly Condon, Uniqlo campaign marketing manager said: “We partnered with 1000Heads to create UT GO, an innovative and engaging experience that perfectly embodied the spirit of Uniqlo’s UT graphic tee collection. Their team developed a unique activation that not only showcased Uniqlo’s diverse UT collections but also gave attendees a personalized connection to the brand through interactive quizzes and AR experiences. The event attracted a new, younger audience, aligning with our goal of growing UT brand awareness and celebrating individual expression through fashion. It was a pleasure to collaborative with such a passionate and creative team, and their work truly helped elevate UT in the eyes of Australian customers.”
