Our latest shoppable video has just launched, and we are delighted to announce that it was created for the Valentino x MyTheresa prelaunch of selected Fall/Winter ‘17 collection items.
This exclusive sneak peek of Valentino’s much anticipated next collection is presented through a film which was directed by the double Swedish Grammy award winner Joanna Nordahl. A variety of characters are present in the film, accompanied by the original song ‘Species’ by Eliot Sumner. The entire collection will be released in one week, with only certain items showcased in the preview film in order to whet the appetite of Valentino followers.
It was a delight to work with MyTheresa following previous collaborations we have done together and we have been especially proud to see publicity surrounding the film. For example, an article dedicated exclusively to the film has been published by Women’s Wear Daily (which you can read here).
MyTheresa have also shared exclusive behind the scenes footage on their Instagram stories and through Instagram posts, linking to the shoppable video itself. It’s great to have such positive feedback on the film, resulting in a wider range of viewers and potential customers.
Customer engagement with the video is high with the Instagram involvement causing a significant impact on views. This means overall, more customers engage with the interactive experience generated by Smartzers interactive video platform. Customers are given the opportunity to explore the pieces displayed on the screen in an easy, immersive way.
We have really enjoyed working on this captivating and unique film, which you can enjoy here, and we would like to say thank you to MyTheresa and Valentino for asking us to do so.
We’re now eagerly anticipating the official release of the Fall/Winter ’17 collection!

Our most recent collaboration has been produced exclusively for G-Star’s Denim Journeys range . G-Star have followed three denim-lovers as the inspiration for this new collection, which celebrates the craftsmanship and creativity behind the much-loved material.
Available exclusively on Zalando’s Dutch and German websites, we believe that this video is the perfect example of the international applicability of our innovative technology. G-Star have launched this denim collection through Zalando’s website and customers exploring Zalando’s G-Star brand shop can enjoy the experience of our shoppable video. This means that a wide range of customers are reached.
It was a delight to work with G-Star x Zalando on this interaction video which revolves around the history of denim, featuring reworked, unique pieces which are both traditional yet also forward-thinking.
Check out the collaboration here!

We are excited to announce that we have launched two brand new interactive videos for Bulgari’s iconic Serpenti range!
Originally launched in the 1940s, the inspiration for Serpenti jewellery and watches lies in the mythological symbol of the serpent. These pieces are renowned for requiring significant craftsmanship during each stage of their creation. The range was important in securing partnerships for Bulgari in the late 20th century and rocketed in popularity, epitomising the timeless luxury associated with the brand. Serpenti has continued to evolve over the years, with Bulgari reinventing the range a number of times.
At Smartzer, we have been delighted to have been involved in the most recent reinvention of Serpenti. We have produced two interactive videos for Bulgari – one focusing on quintessential Serpenti watches, and the other on a new collection of elegant and eye-catching Serpenti rings.
We are used to creating shoppable videos, however these videos are centred around the concept of discovery as the pieces are normally only available to purchase in-store. The opportunity to demonstrate the importance of the interactive experience that we are able to create was an exciting one for us. We were able to present our videos as a discovery tool, allowing customers to immerse themselves in the Serpenti pieces and learn more about the illustrious range by clicking on pieces that they found especially appealing.
Of course, the best way to demonstrate the success of our projects is through the results that our videos generate. We have been observing very strong results from Bulgari customers. It is excellent to see that it is not just the shoppable aspect of our videos which successfully draws in consumers but also the overall interactive experience as brand exploration begins to revolve more and more around innovative technology.
We would like to say thank you to Bulgari for working with Smartzer to promote the newest additions to their iconic and sophisticated Serpenti range!
