Brickfish Teams with Family Circle Magazine to Launch Mother-Daughter Wardrobe Contest
Grand Prize-Winning Duo Will Win a New Wardrobe and Trip to New York
City for a Photo Shoot
SAN DIEGO–(EMWNews)–Brickfish™, the leader in social media
advertising, has teamed up with Family Circle magazine and eBay,
the world’s largest online marketplace, to
launch the “Family Circle-eBay
Mother-Daughter Wardrobe Challenge.” Launching
in the September 2008 issue of Family Circle to the magazine’s
21 million monthly readers, the contest asks mother-daughter teams to
submit blogs or videos online at www.Brickfish.com/familycircle
with descriptions about how they share clothing and the obstacles
sharing a wardrobe presents. The grand prize-winning team, chosen by
eBay Style Director Constance White and Family Circle editors,
will receive $3,000 ($1,500 for mother, $1,500 for daughter) in a PayPal
account to purchase a new shareable wardrobe on eBay. The winners will
also receive a trip to New York City, where they’ll
get professional hair and makeup styling in preparation for a photo
shoot to appear in an upcoming issue of Family Circle. See www.Brickfish.com/familycircle
for complete rules.
“At Family Circle, we recognize that
the bond between a mother and a daughter is unlike any other
relationship, and we wanted to create a fun campaign celebrating that
unique closeness,” said Linda Moran Evans,
beauty and fashion director at Family Circle. “We
expect to see both humorous and endearing entries conveying the
experience of sharing wardrobes. Whether it’s
one or two favorite pieces or an entire closet that the two of you swap,
we want to hear about it.”
In addition to the grand prize winner, eBay and Family Circle
will also give away prizes for most viral and highest scoring entries.
The most viral winners, chosen from the top 100 entries that were shared
the most times across the Internet, will receive $1,000 ($500 for
mother, $500 for daughter) in a PayPal account to buy fashionable new
wardrobes on eBay. Additionally, one of the top 100 highest scoring
entries, based on user feedback, will also win $1,000 ($500 for mother,
$500 for daughter) in a PayPal account.
“Mothers and daughters have always known that
borrowing each other’s clothes is a great way
to expand their wardrobes,” said Constance
White, eBay Style Director. “I’m
looking forward to using my expertise to provide solutions to the grand
prize-winning team and help them choose a new shareable wardrobe from
the huge selection of clothing, shoes and accessory items available on
eBay.”
Brands and agencies use the Brickfish platform to launch online
advertising and marketing campaigns targeted at the social networking
audience. The campaigns are designed to spark the creation of
brand-focused User-Generated Content (UGC) such as blogs, images, video
and audio. Brickfish’s content sharing tools enable anyone to view and
review submissions, vote on their favorites, and share them with friends
and peers using email, Instant Message and postings on social networking
sites. This powerful viral marketing vehicle generates extensive brand
awareness and online and offline calls-to-action from lead generation to
sales.
“We’re honored
that two great brands will engage our audience with a campaign
celebrating the special nature of the mother-daughter relationship.
Women everywhere will get the chance to share their memorable
experiences with thousands of others across hundreds of social networks,”
said Brickfish CEO Brian Dunn. “We are
confident the fun and inspiring entries in this campaign will generate
increased awareness for both eBay and Family Circle as premier
destinations for today’s woman.”
