Polaroid launches first UK website

Polaroid has launched its first UK website, which has been overseen by digital strategy consultant Richard Bone, who operates under the consultancy name Creacion.

Bone was brought in by managing director of Polaroid License Europe, Graeme Chapman.

Polaroid License Europe is now at ‘stage-one of a four-stage process’ according to Bone, who says he was asked to look at content and ecommerce in a way which would ‘engage the brand directly with consumers’.

‘Territory integration’ will follow with similar sites planned for France, Italy, Spain and Germany, says Bone as well as country-specific social media strategies – local content for local users.

Front-end look and feel was driven by back-end development, overseen by Bone and built by web build company Actinic.

PLE is licensed by American parent company PLR Holdings which controls how the Polaroid brand image is used.

‘Colouration and style has to follow and be signed off by PLR’ says Bone.
