Verishop Launches A New Way to Shop With a Brand Anthem Film
Verishop's "A New Way to Shop" is a June 2019 brand anthem film produced by Bindery and directed by Eric Ryan Anderson, designed to introduce Verishop's curated eCommerce platform to United States consumers at the moment of the brand's commercial launch.
Verishop launched commercially on June 18, 2019, according to reporting by startupintros.com and retaildive.com. The brand was co-founded by Imran Khan, formerly Snap's chief strategy officer, and Cate Khan, formerly of Amazon-owned Quidsi and Avon, as reported by retaildive.com. That founding pedigree shaped the platform's positioning from the outset: Verishop was not conceived as a generalist marketplace but as a destination emphasising product curation, discovery, and purchasing confidence. The "A New Way to Shop" campaign gave that positioning its first public visual and narrative expression across the United States market.
The campaign's single film asset functions as a brand anthem, a format that prioritises emotional and conceptual framing over promotional mechanics. Rather than advertising a specific product or discount event, the film articulates what kind of shopping experience Verishop intends to offer and, implicitly, what it is not. In the eCommerce landscape of the late 2010s, that distinction carried strategic weight. The Narrative-led approach places the campaign in a lineage of launch-era brand films produced during the 2010s, when digital-first retailers increasingly reached for cinematic storytelling to compress years of brand-building into a single piece of content. Clapboard scores this campaign 63 out of 100, reflecting a coherent creative premise and accomplished production craft set against the absence of publicly verifiable performance data.
Verishop entered the United States eCommerce market at a moment of substantial competitive pressure and structural opportunity. In the United States, online retail generated approximately $586.92 billion in 2019, according to eMarketer. That figure represented a market already dominated by Amazon and, at the fashion and lifestyle end, by players such as Farfetch and Nordstrom's digital arm, both of which had established significant brand recognition around curated or premium product discovery.
The strategic insight underpinning "A New Way to Shop" addresses a genuine friction point in US eCommerce: the gap between the volume-driven convenience of generalist platforms and the trust-driven experience of specialty retail. Verishop's model, centred on verified brands, clean product presentation, and discovery-oriented browsing, was designed to occupy that gap. According to beautyindependent.com and Finance Yahoo, by 2022 Verishop had grown to host more than 4,000 brands on its platform, a figure that reflects the curation-at-scale ambition present in the brand from its launch. The "A New Way to Shop" film was produced to make that ambition legible to consumers before a single transaction had taken place.
Global fashion eCommerce was estimated at approximately $531.25 billion in 2019, according to eshopworld.com, and was projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of around 10.6 percent through the following years, according to researchandmarkets.com. In the United States, that trajectory created viable white space for a brand willing to compete on quality of experience rather than breadth of inventory. Verishop's launch campaign chose Narrative and brand anthem formats precisely because those formats signal intent and values rather than catalogues and prices, a deliberate contrast to how Amazon and mass-market eCommerce platforms communicate in the US market.
Bindery directed and produced "A New Way to Shop" for Verishop. The New York-based film and content studio, founded by Greg Beauchamp, was engaged at the pre-launch stage, a condition that shaped every creative decision on the project. As documented on shots.net and adsoftheworld.com, Beauchamp stated: "Working with a brand pre-launch is always exciting because we're able to help craft the visual expression of the brand. It's a different type of brief, and Verishop proved to be incredible partners as we developed a launch film that felt uniquely theirs." That framing clarifies the film's function: it was not adapting an established visual identity but originating one.
Eric Ryan Anderson directed the film. The production team assembled for the project reflects a considered approach to craft across every discipline. Director of photography Ben Carey handled the film's visual grammar. Production designer Erin Swift shaped the physical environments. Stylist Margaret Williamson Bechtold oversaw the fashion and product presentation that sits at the centre of Verishop's brand proposition. Editor Steven Stauffer shaped the film's rhythm, while colorist Pete Steusloff established its tonal register in post-production. Executive producer Carter Collins and producer Kat Glazer managed the production process. These credits, documented on adsoftheworld.com and clapboard.com, represent a full-service production deployment typical of launch-era brand films in the Technology and eCommerce category.
The creative result is a brand anthem built around the concept of discovery and confidence in shopping. In the context of the Electronics and Technology category, where consumer purchase anxiety is high and trust signals are commercially decisive, the film's Narrative structure serves a persuasive function that product-feature advertising cannot easily replicate. Greg Beauchamp also noted, as recorded by adsoftheworld.com, that "Verishop has an incredible vision for the future of retail, and the team's ambition was contagious," a statement that locates the film's energy in its client relationship as much as its formal execution.
No verified performance data for "A New Way to Shop" is publicly available. No sales lift, revenue increase, market-share change, conversion-rate improvement, customer-acquisition result, or brand-tracking shift has been documented across publicly accessible sources. Campaign budget, media spend, paid-media impressions, and reach figures have similarly not been disclosed. This is not atypical for a pre-launch brand film produced for a startup entering the United States eCommerce market: early-stage companies rarely publish granular campaign metrics, and the function of a brand anthem is qualitative as much as measurable.
Structurally, the campaign demonstrates several characteristics associated with effective launch-era brand communication. It concentrates its resources into a single high-craft film asset rather than distributing across multiple formats, which concentrates brand-signal clarity. The Narrative approach establishes Verishop's values and personality in a way that product-level advertising cannot, creating a foundation for subsequent campaign layers. The production team's depth — spanning direction, cinematography, design, styling, editing, and colour — suggests investment in longevity of the visual asset rather than disposable launch content.
Verishop's subsequent fundraising trajectory offers an indirect indicator of commercial momentum. In July 2022, Verishop raised $40 million in Series B funding led by Lion Capital, according to Av Vc and finance.yahoo.com. While no causal link to the 2019 campaign can be established, the brand's ability to attract that level of institutional investment reflects a degree of market credibility that launch-era brand positioning contributes to building over time. Clapboard scores this campaign 63 out of 100.

Verishop's "A New Way to Shop" campaign holds a Clapboard Score of 63 out of 100. The score reflects the campaign's coherent creative premise and accomplished production craft, balanced against the absence of publicly verifiable performance data and the inherent measurement challenges of a pre-launch brand anthem format.
No verified awards for "A New Way to Shop" have been found across Cannes Lions, Effies, One Show, D&AD, Clio, Webby, or WARC databases. The campaign was published in the United States in June 2019 as a launch film and represents Verishop's first major brand communication in the eCommerce and Technology category.
Verishop positioned itself against Amazon and platforms such as Farfetch by emphasising product curation, verified brands, and discovery-led browsing rather than volume or price. The "A New Way to Shop" film communicated this differentiation through Narrative storytelling, targeting United States consumers who found generalist eCommerce platforms impersonal or difficult to navigate with confidence.
