Campbell uses the Mavrck influencer marketing platform to power unified influencer marketing strategies across three brands: COSMEDIX, PUR Cosmetics and Aloette.

New York, May 09, 2018Today, we’re pleased to announce that Retail TouchPoints (RTP) has honored Astral Health & Beauty’s Julie Campbell as a 2018 Retail Innovator Award winner. In its fifth year, the Retail Innovator Awards honor business leaders who are embracing positive disruption in retail.

“It was a great year for disruption in the retail industry,” said Debbie Hauss, Editor-in-Chief of Retail TouchPoints. “We are impressed by the innovative and unique strategies, technologies and ideas retail executives launch into the increasingly competitive retail marketplace. Undeterred by talks of a ‘Retail Apocalypse,’ these pioneers are forging forward with long-term sustainability as their goal.”

As VP Marketing, Campbell leads the Influencer Marketing effort at Astral Health & Beauty. With zero spend on media or influencer activations, Astral Health & Beauty used Mavrck to implement an always-on strategy across COSMEDIX, PUR Cosmetics and Aloette that identified relevant micro-influencers, advocates, referrers, and loyalists, and activated them on-demand across three use cases:

  1. Collaborate with micro-influencers to create original content on Instagram for key product lines and repurpose across digital touch points;
  2. Activate advocates and referrers to amplify brand content on Facebook to drive e-commerce purchases; and
  3. Survey influencers, advocates, referrers, and loyalists for brand and product feedback to inform future strategy and planning.

The programs drove significant results: A growing community of 3k+ members; Every 100 micro-influencer posts on Instagram are earning more than 3.4M impressions and 34.5k engagements on average; and 527% ROI from e-Commerce sales driven.

Retail TouchPoints received more than 100 nominations for this year’s Retail Innovator Awards. All 27 winners were announced at the Retail Innovation Conference, April 30-May 2, 2018, at the Convene event space in New York City.
