St. Tropez: Glowfest

Launching the world's first TikTok beauty festival and garnering 19M views across the 3 day event to support St. Tropez's Spring/Summer 2022 launch

The Brief

The UK & USA's most trusted tanning brand tasked Cult with developing a newsworthy campaign to support its Spring/Summer 2022 launch, and positioning global ambassador Ashley Graham as NEW news for the brand.

What we did

We launched the world's first TikTok beauty festival, #GlowFest - a 3 day virtual festival hosted by Ashley Graham & a lineup of TikTok's biggest beauty creators, and timed for audiences to participate around the world, all while leveraging TikToks new live commerce functionality to drive traffic to the GlowFest lives and unlock purchase power for consumers.

Talent

We wanted to ensure that GlowFest's cast not only delivered on diversity, but also had a broad appeal, by tapping into the variety of potential associations that our target audience might have with the tanning category, and with beauty more generally.
