The implementation of a marketing strategy without cultural sensitivity in mind can result in unintentionally offending or alienating the new target market, which can lead to a drop in sales – or worse. The purpose of this paper is first to explore how promotional advertisement with cultural sensitivity can cause a misfit in marketing strategy for the fashion industry’s specific market. Causing the promotion turned provocative. It could be more advantages for a marketer to be able to fully utilize intrinsic and extrinsic strengths while avoiding the market predecessor threat, simultaneously utilize available opportunities and liberalize weaknesses despite putting too much effort to eradicate. Secondly, a specific execution technique used in analyzing the case by adopting the 7 Ps marketing mixed into an inductive single-case study on Naelofar Hijab’s provocative promotion. The finding shows the core strategy in the promotion fashion industry is promoting via social media consist of popularity engagement, Outfit-Of-The-Day (OOTD) approach, and utilization of personnel status as media social active user established strong consumer foundations. While the execution of runway show faced five challenges, but the successful event may uplift brand identity. As far as the adoption of a single-case study is concerned, this could create biases that can affect the final product in terms of reliability, validity and generalizing. However, Erikson (1986) stated, the general lies in the particular, and Flyvberg (2006) stated the strength of a single example is underestimated in its contribution to scientific progress. In a specific and growing sub-industry, this single case study is reasonable to believe that it could be considered as a representative case of companies of the time and its findings sufficiently in general. Significantly, the finding could guide marketers towards understanding the market sensitivity, and if there is a need to modify the marketing strategy from offending the new target market.

Social media is a new platform for CEOs to build their image and create a strong personal brand to represent themselves and their company. This research examines an outstanding Malaysian fashion icon and social media–savvy businesswoman with over a million followers on Instagram, Vivy Yusof, the youngest Malaysian e-commerce mogul and an example of a successful CEO who has used personal branding to build an empire in the fashion industry. The objectives of this research are to identify the type of messages Vivy Yusof communicates to her audience through her personal Instagram posts and to identify the ways Vivy Yusof’s audience engages with her posts on Instagram. Her Instagram post content is classified using the Honeycomb framework that comprises seven functional building blocks, namely, presence, relationships, reputation, groups, identity, conversations, and sharing. In this study, the content of Vivy Yusof’s Instagram posts is categorized by how she focuses on the various functional building blocks in her posts and the implications these blocks have on how her audience interacts with the posts. Her social media presence confirms the importance of CEO personal branding because of her role and influence on the masses evidenced by the willingness of her followers to interact (through likes and comments) and engage with her posts on any subject matter, relating either to her business or personal life. The study contributes to a growing body of literature on personal branding strategies by shedding light on the association between content strategies and engagement with social media content.
