What have been some of the agency’s greatest successes of the past year?

“When the MyKirei by KAO Yuzu Foam Flower first came across our desks, we knew it was bound to be TikTok famous, especially during a time when hand washing was of the utmost priority. To launch the novel handwash, we enlisted a diverse collective of TikTok creators to kick off a content challenge that was supplemented with an aggressive product seeding strategy to give as many people as possible the opportunity to showcase their experience with it on their feeds. After a few short months, we began to see creators organically posting about the product and from there it just took off. We continued to fuel the fire through media pitching efforts, securing dedicated digital features spotlighting the new sku as the latest #TikTokMadeMeBuyIt and #AmazonFinds must-have, while boosting creator posts to the brand’s Amazon page and DTC site. When the brand launched a new shape of the foam soap, we leveraged the Tiktok fame to create even more buzz on the platform and secure headline features on top sites. In summer 2022, we expanded the reach of this product by creating a mobile hand washing truck that parked in key areas of NYC to allow consumers to experience the product first hand. We also created a celebrity photo moment at the truck to entice press coverage for the hand wash and the activation. In total, the products have garnered over 2.5 billion impressions and were responsible for the most sales ever for the brand in one week, including multiple sellouts.”
