MVP Collections

Overview

MVP Collections creates clothing for the big and tall man who's looking for stylish options that fit both his personality and frame. Established in 2016, the menswear collection was founded by former three-time MLB All-Star and 1995 MVP, Mo Vaughn, and fashion industry veteran, Diane Cutuli Bennett. Recently, they' ve welcome partner Frank Thomas, two-time MVP and MLB Hall of Famer, to their team.

Made in the USA, MVP Collections offers a wide range of styles and sizes including athleisure, weekend, and night out pieces that are designed to provide an easy transition from day to night. The client tasked 5W with the goal of positioning MVP Collections as the premier brand for men's big & tall stylish fashion, at an affordable price point.

Strategy

To achieve results, 5W implemented a media plan based on the brand's core identity. Through targeted media outreach the 5W team worked to establish Mo Vaugh, Frank Thomas, and Diane Cutuli Bennett as experts within the big & tall men's fashion industry. Mo Vaughn and Frank Thomas' friendship both on and off the MLB field was leveraged as a unique partnership. And as both men are former MVP's of America's pastime sport, an emphasis was made on the brand's "Made in America" proposition.

Additionally, 5W leveraged company news announcements such as Frank Thomas joining MVP Collections as a new partner, his compelling personal story, and new product and collection launches including the Frank Thomas' inspired collection, to continue a steady flow of coverage.
