Burberry will celebrate the Lunar New Year with a dedicated experience on Chinese social messaging platform WeChat, and a gifting assortment of iconic products for men and women.
Building on its longstanding partnership with the platform, the Burberry WeChat account has launched 'A Lunar New Year Gift', a dedicated interactive messaging service for its followers.
The experience invites users to use native app functionality – tapping, swiping and shaking – to unwrap some of the brand’s iconic gifts.
