Business startups experience the challenges of brand identity and recognition in the market. The fashion industry is saturated by authentic and well-illustrated brands competing on the global platform. Notably, global products like Gucci, Prada, and Dior, have created a niche in the market for several years (Nambisan, Siegel, & Kenney, 2018). To ensure that startups in the fashion industry compete for a considerable market space, they employ strategies that create awareness on the global platform. For new designers to be acknowledged in the market, they must compete favorably with popular brands and command a segment of the market space.
Digital technology and social media approaches have the propensity to accelerate brand identity for new entrants in the fashion industry. Bassano, Gaeta, Piciocchi, and Spohrer (2017) explain that for new designers to manage a niche in the market, it is necessary to exploit opportunities and make their products visible through pictures, video, and animation on the digital platform. Therefore, startups can create popular demand by utilizing digital platform opportunities to market their ideas.
