NEW YORK, Sept. 26, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- WHAT: dressbarn, in collaboration with New York-based marketing agency Conversation, launched the website for "Ruby Is Lost" at http://www.rubyislost.com/ on Thursday, September 13. "Ruby is Lost" is the first phase of what will be the national retailer's 2012 Breast Cancer Awareness campaign, "Paint the Country Pink."

The first phase features Ruby, a lost dog that is traveling cross-country leaving clues to her whereabouts between now and the next step of the campaign, set to launch on October 1. In order to build interest and momentum for "Paint the Country Pink," marketing tactics will include social media, in-store promotion, email blasts and street teams in ten major national markets, where Brand Ambassadors will be hanging up and handing out "lost dog" posters featuring Ruby. All outreach efforts will direct consumers to the website. There they can submit their email address to receive updates on Ruby and dressbarn promotions, as well as learn more about Ruby's fun and lovable personality. Ruby's big reveal and the announcement of her final destination will take place when Breast Cancer Awareness Month begins.
