Did You Hear? In order to announce model Charlotte Free as the new face of Maybelline New York, ICED Media created an original asset entitled #TopChicret. Our viral video campaign starring P’trique of “Sh*t Fashion Girls Say" and nearly 20 influencer cameos launched in April 2012 to worldwide acclaim. The buzzworthy asset earned coverage on an array of the most respected fashion outlets globally, including Vogue, Style.com, Elle, New York Magazine, Fashionista, Grazia, and more. In addition, our strategic use of influencer cameos ranging from editors, TV personalities, and musicians enabled us a broader reach, resulting in #TopChicret trending on Twitter within minutes of it's release. By capitalizing on the popularity of this trending meme amongst fashion insiders, Maybelline New York emerged as an innovator by becoming the first ever brand to partner with “Sh*t Fashion Girls Say". As a result, the brand increased its relevance amongst the discerning fashion industry and the asset itself is still referenced today as a best-in-class example of branded content. Overall Reach: • More than 30 features totaling over 54 million monthly unique visitors • 535 Tweets Using #TopChicret resulting in over 3M organic impressions • Organic trending topic on Twitter
