New York, NY, April 4, 2018 – COSMEDIX professional skincare brand and Mavrck won a Shorty Award in the ‘Best in Beauty’ category for its influencer marketing strategy: “COSMEDIX Crowd”.
The Shorty Awards, now in its 10th year, were the first awards show to honor social media. By constantly evolving along with the changing landscape of social media, The Shorty’s remains the most prominent award show of its kind. The Shorty Awards continue to recognize the most influential, popular, and culturally relevant brands, organizations, agencies, campaigns and influencers across social media.
10th Annual Shorty Award Brand and Organization winners were announced in Adweek and will be celebrated at the star-studded awards ceremony on April 15th in New York City.
With the creation of COSMEDIX Crowd, COSMEDIX and Mavrck introduced a new influencer marketing strategy for brands. COSMEDIX is the first in its category to launch an integrated brand community within its existing customer experience that incorporates the full spectrum of influence, enabling the brand to collaborate with influencers, advocates, referrers, and loyalists who are already engaged with COSMEDIX in a unified influencer marketing program.
“The COSMEDIX marketing initiative is fully rooted in a tight omni-channel approach where influencer marketing lives at the core,” said Julie Campbell, VP Marketing at Astral Health & Beauty. “We know that content creators are prolific and powerful, and by utilizing the Mavrck platform to drive brand awareness and inspire meaningful conversations, we were able to drive some unprecedented success.”
COSMEDIX embedded Mavrck’s white-labeled influencer marketing platform to power COSMEDIX Crowd on COSMEDIX.com, using Mavrck’s Influence Plugin to dynamically interact with consumers who were already engaged with the brand and to identify the most influential consumers through the COSMEDIX Crowd program.
Winners and honorees of the Shorty Awards were selected by members of the Real Time Academy of Short Form Arts & Sciences (rtacademy.org), comprised of experts in advertising, media, entertainment and technology. Members of the Academy include Leslie Berland, (CMO, Twitter), Tom Parker (CCO, Edelman), Sarah Hofstetter (CEO, 360i), Pete Krainik (Founder and CEO, The CMO Club), and Bruce Henderson (CCO, Jack Morton Worldwide), among others.
