Glade®

In 2015 I moved to Chicago to help the agency I was working for open a new office after winning the SC Johnson retail business. While I assisted with multiple brands within the portfolio, I focused specifically on the Glade account. This was an extremely impactful time for me in my career. It was the first time I worked in tandem with Ogilvy, the ATL agency for Glade, and navigated the nuances of the fast-paced needs for retail activations before the national brand campaigns were completed. We concentrated on in-store displays that brought the scent experience to the customer in tangible ways, as well as pitching activations to make Glade the stand-out air freshener in a saturated category overflowing with visually cluttered shelves.

Autumn Nights Campaign + PR Event

In partnership with Ogilvy and InStyle, we created an immersive invitation-only event where media (such as Marie Claire, Allure, and People), influencers, and other affiliates could experience the newest scents from Glade in a choose-your-own-adventure manner. Housed in an abandoned theatre, each room was filled with intrigue and instagram-able moments, depicting a different scent from the autumn line.

The event was used as a photo & video shoot so the assets could be implemented across the autumn campaign in-store, online, and on social.
