A variety of creative executions celebrating the imminent store opening are featured in the April edition of the magazine, including dust jacket cover wraps featuring the H&M red ribbon on all sub issues of the magazine, while Victorian metro copies feature belly band ribbon wraps in H&M livery.

H&M PR and marketing manager YC Eu said: “Magazines were a natural part of the marketing mix for launching H&M in Australia, ticking the box from an engagement perspective and providing us with a great platform to execute some fun creative. The magazine wraps are not only striking, but are targeted at an audience we need to speak to.”
