brand and activations deck 2014
about two point oh! In March 2010, Kelsi Smith of Los Angeles based fashion site, The Stylesmith Diaries, threw a pre-fashion week party for bloggers in Los Angeles. As a result of the success of the party and the relationships that were formed as a result, Smith decided that maintaining the unity and nurturing the community would be integral for the future of Los Angeles fashion and the blogging community at large. Smith felt blogging was often an isolating task, working alone with a computer the vast majority of the time with little in-person interaction with other bloggers. Whilst working events, such as fashion week, bloggers would often find themselves working as a “one man band,” without the entourage of photographers, videographers and so forth, that larger publications work with. Whilst blogging networks did exist, there was nothing to support Los Angeles bloggers on a local level where they could interact on a real-life, personal level. Through Two Point Oh! LA, Smith looked to educate, inform, promote and entertain her membership base, through a web-based platform and through monthly events, to include workshops, promotions and networked gatherings. Two Point Oh! LA officially launched in July 2010 with the 1st Annual Picnic with 45 members and now, in 2014, it is home to 150 bloggers in Los Angeles alone. Two Point Oh! LA produces signature events quarterly including the Annual Summer Picnic and the Annual Winter Snowball. We’ve partnered with countless brands to produce events, lookbooks, programming, and sponsored content with our network of bloggers. In January 2014 Two Point Oh! LA expanded to include networks of bloggers in other cities, launching Two Point Oh! PLUS with a national and international tour. Thus far Two Point Oh! has visited San Francisco, New Orleans and London. Each member, for an annual fee ($25) receives their own customizable profile on the site, invitations to the monthly events in their own cities, brand opportunities, unique experiences and the chance to make social networking really social. With Two Point Oh’s newest addition – brand membership – we also offer a unique platform for brands and bloggers to interact and find opportunities to work together in a collaborative space.

case study one // lulu*s at coachella In April 2013 we partnered with LuLu*s to send five bloggers to the desert for the Coachella weekend. The bloggers received hotel accommodation, a small stipend and wardrobe from LuLu*s as compensation. Whilst in the desert each blogger delivered instant content via Instagram and Twitter (with a minimum amount specified via contract) as well as daily blog posts and post event content. In addition the bloggers participated in two professional photo shoots, also featured on their blogs and used in marketing content for LuLu*s.
