TRILOGY SKINCARE THE CHALLENGE:
How do you make an award-winning New Zealand skincare brand stand out from the “natural noise” in the US market?
OUR APPROACH:
You elevate the status of the brand to highlight its inner “wow” factor. Our approach was to create a series of unique and intimate bi-coastal events to showcase the Trilogy story to the press and key beauty influencers. From the launch at 24th Street Loft, to lunch events in New York and at Fig & Olive in Los Angeles, we made each event interactive with an original hashtag which was utilized across all social platforms. Channeling the “Royal connection” – Princess Kate’s love of Trilogy’s Rose Hip Oil has been a consistent media win-win, especially when Kate announced her pregnancies!
Memorable creative mailers to media and influencers served as a constant reminder of Trilogy’s ingenuity and unique product heritage. Media desksides and influencer gettogethers with Trilogy’s Beauty Expert further cemented relationships and made Trilogy a favorite “go-to” natural brand.
GETTING RESULTS:
Media coverage from outlets such as: The New York Times, Cosmopolitan, Allure, Marie Claire, Town & Country, New Beauty, InStyle, Redbook, Mind, Body, Green, Refinery 29, Pop Sugar, Well+Good, Health, PureWow, ENews! and WWD to name a few, plus beauty influencers, digital and social coverage culminated in over 1 billion impressions. Sales goals were exceeded each year in the US market.
CREATIVE PITCHING THE OPPORTUNITY:
Making Trilogy’s signature product — Organic Rosehip Oil — feel new again by messaging how much is sold, highlighting its popularity, including a Royal fan: Kate, Duchess of Cambridge.
THE PITCH:
“Every 20 Seconds around the globe, someone buys Trilogy Rosehip Oil.”
THE RESULTS:
This simple, yet impactful creative pitch garnered immediate coverage in top beauty blogs and magazines, resulting in over 133 million impressions and growing!
GENERATES BIG RESULTS
Coverage in 2017:
133.78m impressions

DEVITA COSMETICS THE CHALLENGE:
How to persuade women that a line of vegan skincare and color cosmetics could produce the same—if not better—results than the brands they are familiar with.
OUR APPROACH:
Our approach was to align DeVita with events and media channels to enhance their sophistication and performance. Nothing showcases beauty brands better than high profile events like Fashion Week. By partnering with Vaute Couture, where designer Leanne Mai-ly-Hilgart is a new rising star tipped to be the next Stella McCartney, DeVita was able to collaborate with the designer to create the look for the New York show.
GETTING RESULTS:
The reviews are pouring in and DeVita now has the distinction of being the cosmetic brand of choice at the first all-vegan fashion show! By leveraging this event, our PR campaign is rolling out, creating increased brand awareness and recognition.
MAKING VEGAN HIGH FASHION.
