Did it work? Beyond even our wildest expectations
In just the first three months of going live, the campaign on Bebo directly
delivered almost 30 million branded impacts to girls aged 13 to 24.
Over 5,000 people asked to become a friend of golddigga Bebo.
The brand profile was viewed by almost 90,000
people, and golddigga branded skins were
downloaded to over 23,000 personal profiles
delivering at the very least 1.1 million personally
endorsed brand messages to their friends.
We developed content, however the profile became self perpetuating
as the users created content quicker than we could…
And perhaps most importantly, the phone started to ring. Calls came
from major fashion retail chains like Republic.

us to come up with a set of brand ads

My husband said Fresh & Green offers a kinder way to

They’re derived from natural plant extracts.
