GAP's Rebrand Needs to be STUDIED quite literally a MASTERCLASS IN MARKETING. GAP WAS ICONIC IN THE 90S AND EARLY 2000S TRENDS STARTED TO CHANGE, THEY HAD A BIT OF AN IDENTITY CRISIS TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH THE FAST FASHION BRAND. if y2k had a uniform...it'd be this GAP hoodie FAST FORWARD TO 2021. VINTAGE STYLES START TRENDING AGAIN AND THE CLASSIC GAP LOGO HOODIE IS GOING VIRAL. Vintage gap hoodies>> the aritziafication of gap GAP RAN WITH THIS AND STARTED FOCUSING ON WHAT MADE THEM AMAZING BACK IN THE DAY, WHICH IS HIGH QUALITY STAPLES AT A REASONABLE PRICE POINT. AND THEY EVEN BROUGHT BACK THEIR CLASSIC DANCING AD, BUT REIMAGINED FOR THE TIKTOK ERA AND PARTNERED WITH CULTURAL STANDOUTS LIKE CAT'S EYE AND YOUNG MIKO. THIS IS SUCH A GREAT REMINDER FOR EVERY BRAND. STOP CHASING TRENDS AND TRYING TO BE LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE AND ALWAYS REMEMBER WHAT MAKES YOUR BRAND UNIQUE. THAT'S HOW YOU'RE REALLY GONNA WIN OVER CONSUMERS AND STAY RELEVANT. LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU GUYS THINK OF GAPS REBRAND.
