THE BRIEF

What you should know about the brand

Coach is a global luxury brand renowned for timeless design and craftsmanship. Their stores range from retail outlets to experiential Coach Play spaces, catering to a diverse, modern audience while honouring the brand's heritage.

01

Problem

Coach’s music was disconnected from its brand identity and global audience.

Coach previously relied on a uniform playlist across all stores worldwide, leading to a disconnect between the music, the diverse customer base, and the brand’s image. The one-size-fits-all approach failed to reflect local cultural nuances, resulting in a generic auditory experience that lacked relevance for customers. This inconsistency diminished the impact of Coach's in-store environment, particularly in dynamic and innovative spaces like Coach Play. These experimental stores were designed to stand out, but their music failed to complement the edgy, forward-thinking design. Overall, Coach needed a music strategy that could resonate with younger audiences while preserving their established identity as a timeless yet modern brand.

02

Solution

Altaura created a globally unified yet culturally localised sound strategy for Coach.

Altaura began by conducting a deep dive into Coach’s brand ethos, customer demographics, and store layouts. We developed a cohesive music strategy that balanced global consistency with cultural adaptability. To achieve this, we divided Coach’s stores into three categories: Retail, Outlet, and Coach Play, each with its unique musical profile:

Retail Stores: Designed a modern, chic sound blending timeless classics with contemporary influences to create a sophisticated shopping atmosphere.

Outlet Stores: Focused on accessible, high-energy music that balanced familiarity with a touch of sophistication, ensuring an engaging experience for diverse demographics.

Coach Play: Curated highly localised, experimental playlists reflecting the cutting-edge nature of these stores.

Each playlist collection embraced local musical trends and themes while integrating Coach’s rebellious, trendsetting ethos.  A global team of music curators ensured authenticity, drawing from regional sounds and cultural trends.

03

Result

Localized music strategies transformed in-store experiences and elevated customer engagement globally.

Key results from the new music strategy:

Enhanced Customer Engagement: Localised soundscapes resonated with customers, boosting their connection to the brand. Coach Play stores saw a marked increase in positive feedback, with customers highlighting the uniqueness of the auditory experience.

Stronger Brand Perception: The updated soundscapes reinforced Coach’s position as a forward-thinking, globally inclusive brand.

Improved Staff Morale: Initial feedback showed staff reported feeling more motivated and connected to the brand, as the music reflected the vibrancy and energy of their workspaces.
