Strategy

5W strategically targeted top-tier fashion trade publications offering the exclusive announcement. Once secured, 5W identified relevant fashion and lifestyle media outlets to target for embargoed coverage to all hit the morning of launch. 5W coordinated a 2-hour interview block of appointments for Whoopi to speak with each editor about the launch of DUBGEE, her inspiration and favorite pieces. Select outlets received exclusive images, future expansion plans and additional interviews from business partners.
