The original idea was for a boring tv spot that took the viewer to “The World of St. Ives.” This led to many back and forths with the client that eventually led the media team to think of a new way to convey the information we were given. Make a web spot into an existing vlog with a popular influencer. Our vlogger, Grace Helbig plugged the idea on her channel as well as sent her viewers to the St. Ives channels and posted Behind the Scenes videos. Supported by banners and a Tumblr page, Grace Helbig’s fans found the video anywhere and anyhow they could.

In just 24 hours of completely unsupported, unpaid for media, we reached 100,000 views. In addition, the video had 200,000 views on Facebook during the launch. As a result, the St. Ives HBL segment (hand & body lotion) is up 19.7% in the past four weeks, totaling 17.1% YTD through 03/15/2014.
