JWT Sydney launches TONI&GUY haircare project using Australian fashion bloggers

Anniieemal_H_002_sm.jpgJWT Sydney has revealed a project for the Australian launch of the TONI&GUY haircare range.

The project which was initiated in March involved collaborating with Australian fashion bloggers to create content around the brand’s ‘Hair Meet Wardrobe’ philosophy.

The digitally led project titled ‘Blogged & Bound’ sees 20 prolific fashion bloggers give their interpretation of the Hair Meet Wardrobe style philosophy, which champions self expression and explores the intrinsic link between hair and fashion. Central to the project is a bespoke hardcover book titled ‘Blogged & Bound’ and a series of 20 short films made for the web.

GaryPepperVintage_H_001_sm.jpgSays Candice Fernandez, Unilever TONI&GUY marketing specialist: “These consumers are thirsty for fashion and style inspiration, and consider their hair to be a natural extension of their overall look. ‘Blogged and Bound’ takes them on a journey to discover each blogger’s self expressive style and inspiration. The campaign helps to cement OhJamie_H_002_sm.jpgTONI&GUY’s title as a hair fashion authority in Australia.”

The campaign focuses on the fusion of hair and wardrobe and the crucial role it plays in supporting individual style. TONI&GUY Hair Meet Wardrobe products were used to style the campaign.

‘Blogged & Bound’ profiles each blogger in a four-page spread in a bespoke publication distributed to cafes, salons and fashion boutiques across Australia. Content also appears extensively across blogs and other social channels. A series of accompanying films take viewers on a journey through a day in the life of their favourite fashion blogger.

Says Ashadi Hopper, JWT national creative director, digital & direct: “Fashion blogging has incredible diversity, so we tailored content to each blogger’s individual audience and style. This content gives TONI&GUY a significant presence across digital and traditional channels and with an authentic voice.”

The project is the first major campaign by JWT Sydney since the agency was appointed to lead the digital creative for TONI&GUY hair care products ahead of its launch in Australia. Notably, the web content was produced entirely in-house using JWT director, Jesse McElroy.

The TONI&GUY WatermelonCrush_H_002_sm.jpghaircare collection launches into Woolworths, Coles, Priceline and Big W this month.
