Cosmopolitan – Global Fun Fearless Female
In 2010 one of the most ambitious and successful magazine promotions involved promoting a magazine brand itself. For both advertisers and readers, Cosmopolitan leveraged its global reach to 77 million women by inviting its vast audience to speak up. A unique cross-platform execution netted over 15,000 user-submitted photos in the first month, which Cosmo then used on billboards and taxi cabs, in the magazine and via Cosmo TV worldwide. With a goal of over 1 million Facebook ‘Likes’ and Web sites serving both consumers and clients online, Cosmo proved that the best advertising for a great print brand is the reader herself.
