Bauer teams up with Pandora for Grazia’s Community Issue

Bauer Media has announced that Pandora has partnered with Grazia as the exclusive jewellery sponsor for Grazia’s first ever community issue, produced in conjunction with Facebook.

The multiplatform campaign is focused around the Pandora Rose Collection, aiming to increase consideration and purchase intent amongst the Grazia audience.

Each day throughout the week Pandora will be taking inspiration from Grazia’s #thewaywewear theme to create styling advice and inspiration for key Summer trends.

There will be a daily Facebook Live video created with Pandora by Grazia, tackling different styling themes. Using Pandora fashion bloggers such as Lorna Luxe, Chouquette, Shot from the Street and Anneli Bush, the videos will show viewers how to style Pandora jewellery with a ‘look of the day’. A GIF will also be created for each influencer to showcase their final look.

The activity will also include a number of native pieces, which will run across the week that the community issue is being created (13 – 17 June). These will highlight different accessorizing tips, exploring points such as how to rock a minimalist look without looking boring and how to style up the weekend with the Grazia team.

In the magazine, there will be a DPS advertorial to promote the Pandora Rose Collection. This will shoot two of Pandora’s influencers to show the collection styled in a contemporary fashion. The copy will capture styling tips from the influencers in the shoot, including their top tip for social media, all linked back to the Pandora collection.

Abby Carvosso, Group MD Advertising, Bauer Media said: “The creation of Grazia’s Community Issue with Facebook is a landmark moment for us, as it brings the brand to life for the Grazia community in a range of innovative ways. Pandora wanted to tap into our real USP of combining deep audience insight with best in class editorial instinct – the result is powerful content that speaks to their target audience across the week the issue is being created, as well as in the issue itself.”

A spokesperson from Pandora said: “We wanted to work with a partner who would let us push our creative boundaries, whilst still keeping the heart of our brand. This campaign will allow us to do just that, reaching the valuable Grazia audience across multiple touchpoints during a really exciting week.”

Throughout the week readers will be invited to join in via Grazia’s Facebook page and watch the issue unfold using Facebook Live, alongside exclusive events and special surprise guests and performances. Grazia Facebook fans will be able to:
