Swarovski And The Science Project Unveil New Integrated Digital Campaign To Introduce The World To Karlie Kloss As The New Face Of Swarovski
"I'm Karlie Kloss and Swarovski is how you say Swarovski"
NEW YORK, May 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Swarovski and The Science Project announced today the launch of a new digital social media campaign to introduce the world to Karlie Kloss as the new Global Brand Ambassador. Synonymous with brilliance and glamour, Swarovski has selected Karlie Kloss to embody its signature sparkle throughout the world.
To open up this new chapter, The Science Project, in partnership with Swarovski, unveiled a video on social media channels, including YouTube and Instagram, as a platform to introduce Karlie's magnetic personality. After being approached by Swarovski with the concept, the video was created by The Science Project under the direction of Creative Director Justin Edwards. The video features the supermodel captured in a disarmingly humorous discussion with producers around how to pronounce the name Swarovski, a commonly asked question about that brand. The Science Project handled the video development, editing, music and production of the video.

"It's amazing to have been involved in the creation of this digital campaign for Swarovski," said Justin Edwards, Creative Director for The Science Project. "We aimed to show another side of the Swarovski brand with a fun, yet sophisticated moment that embodies their fresh new direction. The piece is simple and challenges how we not only pronounce Swarovski, but also how we interpret this brand. It's a relatable piece that communicates with a universal ease and leaves a lasting impression."
"We learned through Google search insights that the pronunciation of our brand name is actually in the top 3 global search topics for Swarovski," said Yelena Aschberger, Vice President Digital Communication, PR & Events, Swarovski "We saw this as an opportunity to address the question that many have on their minds, and with a little help from Karlie we developed dedicated content for YouTube to capitalize on the search demand."
A fashion and lifestyle inspiration, a savvy digital personality with the Klossy YouTube channel, the brains behind the Kode With Karlie scholarship and the philanthropist business woman of Karlie's Kookies: Kloss is so much more than a supermodel. Her many talents reflect the Swarovski brand, with its collections designed for women ready to shine and make their everyday extraordinary. Karlie Kloss commented: "It's an honor to join the Swarovski family and to be part of the brand's long history of bringing elegance to women through brilliant, unique designs."
The Swarovski campaign marks The Science Project's move towards an Integrated Brand Agency, as they build on their heritage and expertise in digital brand storytelling across the customer journey – from mobile to in-store – connecting new and diverse touch points with provocative, thoughtful and engaging content.
"We are thrilled to announce the Swarovski Campaign," said Jeremy Bergstein, President and Co-Founder of The Science Project. "This represents a giant leap forward as build on our modern approach to storytelling across immersive retail touchpoints to brand storytelling through integrated content. There's a rich story at the heart of every brand execution, and we look forward to helping brands realize new opportunities to create and extend impactful moments to a much larger audience."
