I recently graduated from the University of Leeds and wanted to share some of my favourite pieces of work with you. Each creative poster represents a different project I completed during my studies. The Farfetch project is from my second year, while the Bookshop Project and the No Mirror Needed Project were both part of my final year. I\u2019ve chosen to showcase a variety of work to highlight the breadth of my creative and business skills, demonstrating my diverse capabilities within fashion marketing.<\/p>\n<div class=\"socialstack\"><span class=\"material-icons md-24\">handshake<\/span><a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Connect with <span id=\"withme\"><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<p><!--FILE01 IMG--><\/p>\n<div class=\"mediafileviewer mfvimages\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading =\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.schoolofdesignleeds.com\/ds25\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/molly-leitch-01_Molly-Leitch.jpg\" width=\"100%\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 2000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 2000\/1414;\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"mfv-caption\">The brief for this project was to create a multi-channel promotional campaign for Farfetch, aimed at engaging existing customers and attracting new ones in the UK. The campaign centred around an immersive pop-up event, where attendees could interact with Farfetch\u2019s sustainable jewellery and watch collections. The multi-channel strategy utilised social media platforms, including YouTube videos, influencer collaborations, and blogs, to promote the event. Following the event, PR communication channels and email marketing were used to maintain engagement and extend the campaign&#8217;s reach.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--FILE02 IMG--><\/p>\n<div class=\"mediafileviewer mfvimages\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading =\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.schoolofdesignleeds.com\/ds25\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/molly-leitch-02_Molly-Leitch.jpg\" width=\"100%\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 2000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 2000\/1414;\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"mfv-caption\">This module focused on pushing the boundaries of innovation and idea development, encouraging me to step outside my creative comfort zone within the fashion realm and broaden my ability to think innovatively. The project shown here challenged me to reimagine traditional bookshop promotion through an unexpected lens\u2014fragrance marketing. The concept, \u201cThe Bookshop Scent,\u201d mimics the sophistication of a high-end perfume campaign to entice students to visit bookshops in person rather than shop online. It combines out-of-home advertising, print design, and guerrilla marketing to create a sensory-driven campaign that plays on nostalgia and curiosity. By blending creativity with strategic thinking, this project allowed me to explore unconventional marketing approaches and demonstrate how storytelling and sensory engagement can be used to influence consumer behaviour.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--FILE03 IMG--><\/p>\n<div class=\"mediafileviewer mfvimages\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading =\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.schoolofdesignleeds.com\/ds25\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/molly-leitch-03_Molly-Leitch.jpg\" width=\"100%\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 2000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 2000\/1414;\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"mfv-caption\">No Mirror Needed is a brand I developed from the ground up as part of a university project. Inspired by my personal passion for both travel and fashion, this project was the perfect opportunity to bring those two worlds together in a meaningful and creative way. The brand is designed for adventurous backpackers who want to maintain effortless style while travelling light. Each garment is both interchangeable and reversible, directly addressing key consumer pain points such as limited packing space, outfit repetition, and the desire for sustainable yet stylish options. This module also pushed us to bring our brands to life through integrated marketing communications (IMC) campaigns as outlined above.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\ndocument.getElementById(\"withme\").innerHTML = document.getElementById(\"studentpostname\").innerHTML;\ndocument.addEventListener(\"scroll\", function(){\nvar sitedescription = document.querySelector(\".site-description\");\nvar studenttitle = document.getElementById(\"studentpostname\");\nif(window.pageYOffset > 100){\nsitedescription.classList.add(\"highlightstudentname\");\nsitedescription.innerHTML = studenttitle.innerHTML;\n}\nif(window.pageYOffset < 100){\nsitedescription.classList.remove(\"highlightstudentname\");\nsitedescription.innerHTML = \"School of Design, University of Leeds\";\n}\n});\n\/*Heart a submission\nlet theheart = document.getElementById(\"heartsvg\"); \/\/ assign the SVG class to a variable called theheart\nlet lsheart = localStorage.getItem(\"onheart\"); \/\/ access a key called onheart in LS, and assign it to a variable called lsheart\nlet heartmsg = document.getElementById(\"heartmessage\");\nconst enableheart = () => { \/\/ create a function to colour in the SVG when the SVG is clicked\ntheheart.classList.add(\"activeheart\"); \/\/ tell the function to add a class to the SVG that will add colour\nheartmsg.innerHTML = \"You liked this submission\";\nheartmsg.classList.add(\"addpinkcolor\");\nlocalStorage.setItem(\"onheart\", \"enabled\"); \/\/ activate LS with the key and a value, hereby called enabled\n};\nconst disableheart = () => { \/\/ create a function to remove colour from the SVG when the SVG is clicked\ntheheart.classList.remove(\"activeheart\"); \/\/ tell the function to remove the class from the SVG that added colour\nheartmsg.innerHTML = \"Like this submission\";\nheartmsg.classList.remove(\"addpinkcolor\");\nlocalStorage.setItem(\"onheart\", \"disabled\"); \/\/ activate LS with the same key but a new value, hereby called disabled\n};\nif(lsheart === \"enabled\"){ \/\/ if the LS key has a value of enabled then...\nenableheart(); \/\/ ...run the enableheart function, which adds the class to the SVG\n}\ntheheart.addEventListener(\"click\", function(){ \/\/ when the SVG is clicked...\nlsheart = localStorage.getItem(\"onheart\"); \/\/ ...I think the LS needs to run on itself\nif(lsheart === \"enabled\"){ \/\/ if the LS key has a value of enabled...\ndisableheart(); \/\/ ...run the function that changes the LS value to disabled\n} else { \/\/ otherwise...\nenableheart(); \/\/ ...run the function that changes the LS value to enabled\n}\n});\n*\/\n<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Degree Show 2025 Molly Leitch BA Fashion Marketing Hi, I\u2019m Molly!
