MAC AIDS Awareness

Fergie For Viva Glam

— October 27, 2007 — Social Good
MAC Cosmetics recently signed Grammy Award-winning singer Stacy “Fergie” Ferguson to be the next Viva Glam spokeswoman.

There will be a Viva Glam ad campaign featuring Ferguson breaking in February as well as a new limited edition MAC Viva Glam Lipglass. The MAC Viva Glam family already includes Linda Evangelista, Christina Aquilera, Missy Elliot, Chole Sevigny, Pamela Anderson, Debbie Harry, Lisa Marie Presley, Mary J. Blige, Lil Kim, Ru Paul, Elton John as well as Dita Von Teese and Eve, who are posing for the latest campaign.

In 1994 MAC first introduced VIVA GLAM, an incredible shade of deep red lipstick that was the staple of glamour in the world of cosmetics. Since then, the MAC Viva Glam campaigns have raised more than $95 million dollars to benefit the MAC AIDS Fund, which helps people living with HIV/AIDS.

3. Limited Edition Collaborations - Partnering with celebrities and influencers to create exclusive, limited-edition products can generate excitement and buzz around a brand or collection and increase brand awareness among targeted audiences.
Industry Implications

2. Non-profit and Social Causes - Non-profit organizations and social causes can partner with corporate brands, particularly in the beauty industry, to collaborate on charitable initiatives and raise funds and awareness for vulnerable populations.
3. Fashion and Accessories - Fashion and accessories companies can adopt MAC's strategy of launching limited edition items with leading public figures to generate interest in their brand and increase sales among a targeted demographic.
