The holiday shopping period is an incredibly competitive time for brands. The pressure is on to deliver the most eye catching and engaging marketing content in order to draw in customers. Flannels teamed up with Smartzer to deliver a bold, flashy and dynamic video for their "Christmas Day Drip" campaign.

Flannels used state of the art interactive video technology to create an entirely clickable campaign. Viewers could click to explore the models looks and be redirected to product display pages.

They were also given a second chance to shop via the replay screen with a product summary carousel.
