Opportunity: “The idea creates the budget,” declares Hearst Magazines’ President, Marketing & Publishing Director, Michael Clinton. “Bring [your client] a great idea, and a great idea will get funded”—as was the case here.
Looking beyond L’Oréal’s annual “scale” RFP, we proactively conceived and pitched a program to drive awareness of their Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation (OCRF) partnership.
Strategic Approach & Results: We secured unprecedented access to Editors by creating a campaign that appealed to their charitable natures—making the program a veritable no-brainer for L’Oréal’s Sr. Management. Uniquely contextual and disruptive, it proved the adage that "Good ideas get funded," was annualized for the next three years (incorporating spokesperson, Kerry Washington in year two), and generated $3 MILLION IN REVENUE.
