Objectives

As a customer-centric brand and all-digital company, Visible prides itself in its ability to connect with its consumers and create communities digitally through its social platforms.

Our gif-driven giveaway for Random Acts of Kindness Day on Twitter celebrated our audience and spread kindness by rewarding members with custom “Embrace self-love, like your own posts” mugs to fans who contributed to the conversation by sharing GIFs that demonstrated what kindness meant to them.

More specifically, we aimed to:
