Viewers will be invited to upload their own footage to social media platforms including Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Vine using the hashtag #cantisabadword, at which point Missguided will use STORY to choose which submissions will be featured live on TV.

Missguided's collaboration with MediaCom and STORY builds on the success of recent campaigns featuring both Nicole Scherzinger and Pia Mia.

Aleks Certa, Associate Director at MediaCom, who coordinated the campaign with Missguided, said: It's always exciting to be pioneering new ideas and technologies, but even moreso when it is something so perfectly in tune with a brand's image and values. STORY gives us a fantastic opportunity to see the worlds of social media and TV advertising collide seamlessly and powerfully and we're looking forward to helping Missguided's fans play a starring role in the brand's return to TV.

Sarah Lynch, Global Brand Manager at Missguided, added: Missguided's customers are among the most social media savvy and switched on people in the UK and across the world, and this exciting technology gives us the opportunity to reach out to our fans and followers in a more dynamic and impactful way than ever before. Our brand stands for empowerment and inclusion, and STORY offers the perfect platform to engage and involve our customers in our brand.

Scott Davies, CEO of never.no said: We are excited to work with MediaCom and Missguided to deliver the first interactive campaign of its kind in the UK. Missguided has such a strong social media following which is a perfect fit for a social TV campaign such as this. STORY's ability to manage the social content shared by Missguided fans and generate multiple unique versions of their broadcast adverts for distribution makes the whole process easy.
