Strategy

Challenged with elevating the annual SKYN survey to be a more meaningful tool for media and consumers, 5W developed a strategic PR plan to re-energize the survey and find new opportunities to secure earned media. In addition to leveraging key media contacts to help identify the unanswered questions in the category, 5W offered select media the opportunity to field exclusive questions - resulting in a strong mix of survey mentions and full features.
