Project Gravitas and Vivoom Team Up on Holiday Tidings: Messages of Inspiration and Female Empowerment

NEW YORK, Nov. 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Project Gravitas, a fashion brand aimed at empowering every woman to have a confident sense of self, has teamed up with mobile advertising platform Vivoom for a new campaign, "Message in a Box," to reinforce the company's messages of confidence, hope and inspiration this holiday season.

Beginning on Black Friday, messages shared by Project Gravitas fans using the Vivoom app will be printed on cards and delivered in the company's signature dress boxes. These cards will also contain a call to action, encouraging recipients to continue the campaign's chain of positivity by sharing a message of their own, as seen here: https://play.vivoom.co/video/0umyRSAU.

"At Project Gravitas, our goal is to spread confidence every day and help women see the best in themselves," said Lisa Sun, founder and CEO of Project Gravitas. "This holiday, we're asking everyone to join us in this effort by putting positive messages into the world. We're starting a chain of positivity because confidence is contagious, and our words are powerful."

"Seeing brands and their fans work together to tell compelling stories that create marketing  messages that are welcome, versus interruptive, is so exciting," said Katherine Hays, founder and CEO of Vivoom. "With Vivoom, Project Gravitas is able to get its message out in a way that is authentic, brand-safe and effective without worrying about the headaches, like ad blocking, viewability or inappropriate user content that are often associated with digital campaigns or traditional user generated content. It is great to see such an exciting fashion brand like Project Gravitas on the forefront of innovative new advertising models."

The Vivoom mobile platform provides Project Gravitas with four key capabilities:

• User generated content that's 100% brand-safe. Vivoom's patented platform makes it possible for brands and consumers to work together to co-create short (21 second) mobile videos that get shared over social channels and moderated through a live feed by brands no matter where they are shared or who shares them. Vivoom's branded user content is the best performing mobile video because it's authentic, engaging and non-interruptive yet on-brand, high quality and 100% brand safe.  
• Mobile views comparable to a television spot. Branded user content is full-screen and full-audio, high quality, and on-brand. The co-created videos offer sight, sound and motion, yet, in contrast to television, it's mobile, co-created by consumers and brands and shared by consumers in their own
  social feeds so it's is relevant, trusted and welcome.
• Mobile advertising consumers love.  Viewers spend 6x more time watching branded user content and respond at the highest rates on mobile – greater than 10 percent.
• Transparent mobile metrics. Full reporting on the number of branded user content full-screen views, time spent viewing and conversion.

"Message in a Box" is Project Gravitas' inaugural branded user content campaign. Calls to action will be on social media using the hashtag #MessageinaPGBox, Project Gravitas' blog and on the backs of the cards included in dress boxes. Vivoom enables Project Gravitas to tap into the power of user content in a brand-safe way.
