THE BRAND’S SINGLE BIGGEST TRAFFIC DRIVER, 2014:

JENNI KAYNE’S Garden Party


SUMMARY

In 2014, Jenni Kayne’s lifestyle blog, Rip+Tan, was driving more traffic than her eponymous lifestyle brand’s website. To maximize traffic and increase conversion, the brand rolled out a content ecosystem designed around summer entertaining. The Garden Party was the first in this series.

KEY RESULTS

  • The activation maximized visibility by inviting Athena Calderone of Eye Swoon to co-host, influencers like Shiva Rose to attend, One Kings Lane to co-brand by contributing product in exchange for cross promotion, and finally batching event content and syndicating it to for further exposure on AOL’s StyleMePretty.com.

  • After all features were published, this one event drove more traffic to Jenni Kayne’s website than any other single piece of content.

 
With the long, warm days and flowers in full bloom, it was the perfect time for fashion designer and entertaining guru Jenni Kayne to host a Los Angeles garden party with It-girl interior designer Athena Calderone.
