01 — Overview

The brand
and the launch.

Hugo Boss is one of the most recognisable fashion brands in the world, with a premium positioning that combines contemporary style and masculine ambition. The launch of the new Hugo Boss fragrance in the Gulf market represented a strategic moment: Zac Efron — the face of the global “Your Time Is Now” campaign — was brought to Dubai for an exclusive in-store activation.

The event unfolded on two levels: a public fan experience built around the fragrance launch inside Paris Gallery at the Dubai Mall, and a VIP evening for regional press and opinion leaders at D3, Dubai’s Design District.

Our role covered the full operational direction of the launch: from celebrity management to regional media accreditation and coordination, through to the staging of the VIP evening at D3.
