BRAND CHALLENGE

The iconic Burt’s Bees brand is facing challenges from indie competitors. They came to Movers+Shakers to create buzz and build cultural relevance with NextGen consumers with a head-turning social-first campaign.


CREATIVE SOLUTION

Is sharing lip balm totally normal or completely gross? Movers+Shakers found this debate deep within Reddit, and translated it into a breakthrough campaign for Burt’s Bees.

The “Bee-List” campaign asked influencers and consumers who they’d share their Burt’s Bees lip balm with. 🐝 Our talent selection included a group of diverse creators that were already organic fans of Burt’s Bees and weren’t afraid of sparking a debate around sharing lip balm.

We gave each creator the freedom to tap into their unique & ownable style, which generated overwhelming praise in the comments section. Consumers chimed in with comments such as “I have lived MANY decades and this is the very first ad I have ever truly enjoyed” and “I suddenly need bee balm.”
