KEINEMUSIK X HIGHSNOBIETY
Capsule Collection & Digital Cover Launch
ROLE: Senior Marketing Manager | Content & Activations
CLIENT: Keinemusik
LAUNCH DATE: July 2024
PROJECT OVERVIEW
On July 4th, 2024, Keinemusik took the stage for their biggest live show to date in Brooklyn. Highsnobiety partnered on this occasion to support the event and celebrate a creative relationship that runs deep: both rooted in Germany, Keinemusik appeared on one of the first covers of Highsnobiety Magazine, marking the beginning of an ongoing exchange at the intersection of music, fashion, and culture.
The goal was to build a meaningful connection between Keinemusik and the New York audience through a limited-edition capsule collection and a series of real-world activations, enhancing both visibility and cultural relevance in a city known for its creative influence.
THE COLLECTION
CAMPAIGN STRATEGY & EXECUTION
We developed a multi-faceted approach that transformed a concert partnership into a comprehensive cultural experience. The insight: Keinemusik fans aren't just buying tickets to a show, they're joining a movement. Our strategy needed to create tangible touchpoints that extended the concert experience into the city, building anticipation before the event and creating lasting connections after.
Capsule Collection with Keinemusik, Inspired by NYC
To translate the energy of NYC, drawing inspiration from its bodegas and subway, into a collectible expression of culture, with the campaign shot in city subway stations to ground the story in its environment.
Physical Pop-Up in Collaboration with KidSuper
To create a cultural touchpoint in the city that extended the campaign beyond the concert, offering fans a more immersive and accessible brand experience: a pop-up at KidSuper Brooklyn Store, running before and after the concert.
Partnership with DICE for Early Access to the Collection
To reward concertgoers and build hype by connecting ticket access with exclusive product availability, driving pre-event engagement.
DICE ticketholders received early access to purchase collection pieces, creating a VIP tier within an already sold-out show.
Official Merchandise Partner at the Concert with Four Stands at the Venue
To maximize brand visibility and ensure a seamless, high-impact retail presence at the core of the event experience.
Four dedicated Highsnobiety x Keinemusik merchandise stands throughout Brooklyn Mirage during both July 4th and 5th shows.
Community Amplification Through Shared Networks and Talent
To organically expand reach by tapping into the engaged followings of Keinemusik, KidSuper, and other cultural figures aligned with the campaign.

CHALLENGES
& SOLUTIONS
BOTH CONCERT DATES SOLD OUT IN UNDER ONE MINUTE, CREATING LIMITED DIRET ACCESS TO TARGET AUDIENCE
Created multi-channel approach, KidSuper pop-up (July 3-7) allowed fans without tickets to participate, while DICE early access rewarded ticket-holders, ensuring both groups felt included
COMPETING WITH TYPICAL CONCERT MERCHANDISE IN A CROWDED VENUE ENVIRONMENT
Positioned collection as cultural artifact, not tour merch, NYC subway campaign photography and bodega-inspired aesthetic created collectible value beyond the show itself
COORDINATING FOUR SEPARATE RETAIL OPERATIONS SIMULTANEOUSLY (POP-UP + FOUR VENUE STANDS)
Developed comprehensive logistics plan with clear inventory distribution, staffing protocols, and real-time communication systems to manage high-volume sales across multiple locations
BUILDING HYPE FOR A SOLD-OUT SHOW WHERE TRADITIONAL TICKET-DRIVEN MARKETING WOULDN'T WORK
Leveraged collection launch and KidSuper activation as standalone cultural moments, creating buzz that enhanced the overall event without relying on ticket sales
HONORING DECADE-LONG HIGHSNOBIETY/KEINEMUSIK RELATIONSHIP WHILE CREATIVE SOMETHING NEW AND NYC-SPECIFIC
Combined Keinemusik's iconic kloud motif with NYC visual language (subway, bodegas), creating pieces that honored heritage while feeling specific to this moment
