PRESS PORTFOLIO

Traditional PR / Product Placement Examples:

Kai Fragrance Our work with Kai Fragrance® provides a strong example of product placements in television and magazines with impressive results.

! For the launch of the body butter, we placed Kai on “Oprah’s Favorite Things”, resulting in 400% increased distribution over initial 30 days. Furthermore, Kai was sold out of the entire product line for 4 months.

! In two months, we facilitated four national placements for the entire line of Kai products. The placements increased sales by 25%.

! For Kai Eau de Parfum, we placed three magazine editorials that led to a 200% increase in that product’s distribution in one month.

On the following pages, we have included what we feel are solid examples of our work for Kai Fragrance from 2005 - 2010, illustrating high circulation, mid-tier, and regional-based editorial placements.
