OGX®, a leader in innovative and trend-driven hair and body care, announces the launch of OGXperts, a diverse group of the most in-demand beauty influencers and experts to lead the haircare conversation. The campaign serves as a platform for top-tier beauty personalities, with distinct voices and individual style, to be an authentic extension of the brand and connect directly with their core audience.
The news comes just two weeks before OGX enters into a multi-year partnership with The Governors Ball Music Festival as a lead sponsor with direct-to-consumer touchpoints for both General Admission and VIP festivalgoers. OGX has been on the festival scene at Coachella, SXSW, and previous Governors Ball Music Festivals, but 2019 marks the first year the brand is making an investment as a beauty trailblazer during the New York festival.
“Beauty, fashion, self-expression, and music go hand-in-hand,” says North America Senior Marketing Director, Hanan Wajih. “We are so excited to create an immersive and interactive experience for our beauty-savvy consumer at Governors Ball and simultaneously introduce the OGXperts. This group of talent represents who OGX is and we can’t wait to see how they bring the brand (and hair!) to life.”
The OGXperts group includes beauty gurus with whom the brand has long-standing relationships, like Kandee Johnson, who launched her own OGX holiday collection in 2017, and celebrity hairstylist and ongoing brand ambassadors Kahh Spence and Jillian Halouska. It was a strategic move to launch the campaign with influencers who the brand has previously worked with, including Franchelli Rodriguez and Julia Salvia. Ultimately, this platform will continue to grow and serve as an opportunity for beauty enthusiasts to connect directly with authentic industry voices. OGX hopes to also nurture up-and-coming beauty influencers and use OGXperts to foster meaningful brand relationships.
The campaign will be primarily social media and digitally driven, with content surrounding key consumer touchpoints, hair tutorials and video, and e-commerce product picks. OGX will also work alongside the OGXperts on product development, community insight, and trend forecasting. Going forward, you will see the OGXperts at all major brand events and tentpole moments.
