Love this! I haven’t tried Mary Kay but am so eager to after your review. I am loving the Lip Balm!!

“I love love love Mary Kay mascara and the Time Wise set. As 29.5 years old (and holding for the next few years) I was starting to see a difference in my skin. Not breakouts, not wrinkles, just blah. Instantly, the Time Wise set perked my face up! I love it :)

Campaign Results

• With creative, found that blog posts greatly outperformed all other campaign creative, allowing optimization toward such


QUANTITATIVE RESULTS: BRAND LIFT

Campaign Results

• Drive an overall 49.1% lift in purchase intent

• Materially outperformed Vizu market norms for both the Beauty category and purchase intent campaigns


• #1 key learning was that activating digital influencers can be an effective tactic for impacting brand perception and intent to purchase.

• Bloggers can authentically challenge brand myths that we as the brand can’t do itself.

• Branding efforts, such as driving Purchase Intent, must be measured against appropriate Brand Lift metrics.

This pilot program helped “comfort” those in legal and regulatory departments within Mary Kay who were resistant to letting go of control of the brand message; this program’s success will allow us

to move forward in this space
