TRILOGY SKINCARE CHALLENGE: How do you launch an award-winning New Zealand skincare brand and separate it from the “natural noise” in the US market?
HOW: You elevate the status of the brand to highlight it ’s inner “wow” factor. Our approach was to create a unique and intimate setting to showcase the Trilogy story to the press. The 24th Street Loft provided the perfect backdrop. The all-white space acted as a blank canvas allowing the Trilogy line to truly stand out and reveal its true nature. We made the event interactive with an original hashtag which was utilized across all social channels, as well as a “Royal Portrait ” photobooth, to allow press and media to channel their inner Kate Middleton (who as it turns out is a huge advocate of the brand).
RESULTS: The event proved to be the best Trilogy launch to date. With over 50 members of the press in attendence, the Trilogy team had the opportunity to present their line with one-on-one interviews with editors from media outlets such as: The New York Times, Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire, Mind, Body, Green and Redbook to name a few.

NOURISHEA CHALLENGE: How to change perceptions about Shea Butter products? Most products available tended to be raw Shea Butter—thick, greasy and difficult to rub into skin—not particularly appealing. NouriShea’s unique formulations were soft, easy to apply and very effective for moisturizing all types of skin—not just problem skin.
HOW: By designing the look of the packaging to work for both natural and mass distribution, we were not limiting the brand’s potential. Leveraging the “mom appeal” of the founder, we told the “NouriShea” story of natural, green, sustainable and “Beauty You Can Feel Good About.”
RESULTS: Following grassroots initiatives, NouriShea is now in distribution in the natural product channel.
THE VERY BEST SHEA, EVERYDAY.

HERBACIN CHALLENGE: The Herbacin® “green line” has been used and loved by women and celebrities for decades. How to keep faith with loyal mature consumers, while expanding brand awareness across a younger demographic audience?
HOW: By utilizing print media with social media we were able to target key consumer groups with very specific messaging. Social media has been very effectively used to introduce new consumers to the Herbacin brand, and our on-going PR campaign has connected the brand with celebrities and brand advocates.
RESULTS: The Herbacin brand is enjoying increased retail distribution with new product introductions and marketing initiatives in the US and markets around the globe.

DEVITA COSMETICS 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.
HOW: 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.
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.
