Here at Smartzer we are delighted to announce the release of our latest interactive video, this time for international French brand Sandro.
Released last night, this video showcases a selection of bags, shoes and card holders from the new Sandro Women’s Summer 2017 Accessories Collection. The collection continues the modern and refined style that we have come to associate with the luxury brand and epitomising classic Parisian chic. By adding our interactive functionality on Sandro’s video we have enabled customers to click on any accessory they might like to add to their wardrobe. They can immediately see details and shop the piece, piquing their interest as to what the rest of the collection may hold in store.
Founded in 1984, Sandro is a member of the French group SMCP alongside brands Maje and Claudie Pierlot. Smartzer originally connected with SMCP via the Lafayette Plug and Play Accelerator in Paris and we were subsequently chuffed to be asked to work with Sandro to add our in-house interactive technology to this lively and colourful video. This project follows on from Smartzer’s previously successful work in Paris on a number of videos for upmarket French chain Galeries Lafayette.
The shoppable video we have generated for Sandro has been released across all of Sandro’s regions (France, Spain, Italy, Germany, UK, USA), enabling the brand to engage their international customer-base via a single platform. By adding our interactive video technology to their promotional content, we are confident that Sandro will succeed in using this elegant and inventive video content marketing to raise the profile of their new, effortlessly sophisticated, accessories collection. Additionally, engaging their customers worldwide and driving sales.
To work with such a well-loved and leading French brand is something that all of us at Smartzer are extremely proud of. We believe that it demonstrates the scale that our high-quality interactive videos can be released on in order make the most of a company’s video content.

This week we went live on our second exciting collaboration with womanswear e-commerce site MyTheresa.com and iconic British brand Burberry.
Christopher Bailey, Burberry’s Chief Creative and CEO, showcased his Henry Moore-inspired, beautiful new February collection at Makers House in Soho at London Fashion Week. The Monday evening was a rush for team Smartzer as we worked quickly to add our interactive video platform to the much-anticipated runway show. Customers could interact with the video by clicking a look to immediately see detail. Smartzer's hover effect was customised for Burberry so that viewers could order immediately and easily shop the luxury pieces via MyTheresa.com.
We think that interaction videos are a truly innovative addition to the Burberry runway show experience. The “See Now, Buy Now” aspect of Burberry’s show, meant that the season’s new pieces were immediately available to buy after the show.
As any fashion-aficionado would tell you, Burberry is a leading brand in terms of fashion which pays homage to tradition with added avant-garde. Beyond this, the brand is forward-thinking. They have been paving the way for fashion using popular but often underutilised video content to engage their customers. The brand is taking steps to please both their dedicated and new customers.
Here at Smartzer, we are so pleased to have been able to work with Burberry for a second time. This demonstrates Burberry's satisfaction with the original shoppable runway that we generated in September2016. Additionally, on a wider level, shows the consistent, reusable capabilities of interactive video platforms. Brands can use interaction videos to engage customers and drive sales.
To check out the interactive experience Smartzer created for the Burberry February 2017 runway, visit MyTheresa.com. We are so proud of this project and would love to hear any feedback you might have, either on this page or via twitter @smartzer.

We are delighted to announce the release of our first collaboration with mega department-store John Lewis.
Released yesterday, this new video showcases a number of pieces from the new Modern Rarity collection from the luxury range that John Lewis introduced last year. Smartzer have added our interactive feature to the elegant video. This means that customers are able to just click on a look they might want to add to their wardrobe, using our hover effect customised for John Lewi and can immediately see details and easily shop the pieces.
This innovative addition to John Lewis’ interactive video content will allow the store to make the most of their video and provide an exciting new shopping experience for their customers. What better time to begin to bridge the gap between retail and technology than the inception of their much-anticipated, sophisticated new Modern Rarity collection? John Lewis is not only anticipating their customers’ desires by designing new fashion ranges but also by using Smartzer’s technology to facilitate a streamlined and contemporary shopping experience.
The Modern Rarity range is aimed at the discerning customer who wants to invest in classic pieces that are truly timeless and will transcend seasons, at an affordable price. Inspired by the John Lewis archive in Berkshire with a modern twist, the new collection features some absolutely gorgeous pieces, crafted from quality materials in pared-back, earthy tones.
We are so pleased to have been able to work on this wonderful video, which you can watch and interact with here. We’d love to hear any feedback, which you can either leave on this page or reach us on twitter @smartzer.
