Guests at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week will be able to view the new concept that is the first to truly globalize media sharing. With designers from over 12 countries showcasing their Spring 2015 collections, the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week is an ideal venue for audiences to engage with FotoYapp's rich features in globalizing social media content for brands, designers, models, media outlets and more.
In February this year, there were over 100,000 related New York Fashion Week images shared on Instagram by over 33,000 users and the top 10 brand accounts drove over 2.5 Million interactions. FotoYapp will provide users, both at Fashion Week and around the world the ability to engage in their own native language with most major forms of social media, instantly.
FotoYapp works by providing brands, influencers and consumers with the ability to create their own media content as well as curate media from other users and content from other social media platforms, as well as select Getty Images photography into a single global post through the web, portable or mobile platform.
Additionally, users can apply tags and descriptions to their posts to pull in the social conversation happening around each social post from a variety of social networks based on the tag words in their own native language regardless of the originating language of the content.
Once the user approves the post they can share it out to most major social media accounts. Then each post can be engaged by the user's consumer/fan base in their native language via a unique URL link or inside the FotoYapp application. This ground breaking technology produces the first real-time global connection between brands and consumers, influencers and fans, media outlets and readers.
"The fashion industry is truly global and will benefit greatly from a platform without language restrictions, and it is only fitting to publically launch the experience of FotoYapp at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week," said David Lucatch, founder and CEO of Yappn Corp. "We are really excited to work with the brands, models, celebrities, media and fashionistas to showcase the ability to post trends of the new fashion designs to their FotoYapp accounts and feature the social media conservations in 67 languages, providing infinite possibilities."
