Since the launch in 2009, they remain the only magazine event to celebrate professional women who make work ‘work’ for them, say publishers Hearst Magazines UK.
Clinique’s sponsorship is a six-month multi-platform partnership which includes bespoke content creation both in the magazine and across Red’s social media channels. The partnership will also see the launch of an innovative campaign for Clinique’s new product, Smart Custom Serum, perfectly reflecting the ethos of the Red Women of the Year Awards – smart women making smart choices.
In addition, the two brands will produce and deliver ‘Smart Women Week’, a weeklong interactive content hub hosted on www.redonline.co.uk which will include interviews, web chats and Twitter takeovers with some of the UK’s most respected business individuals and institutions. Its aim being to give readers invaluable knowledge that will assist them in their working life.
“Clinique has great synergy with Red and is the perfect partner for the Red Women of the Year Awards,” said Ella Dolphin, Group Publishing Director, Hearst Magazines UK. “Both brands are all about empowering women. We’re delighted to be working with Clinique to shine a light on the most deserving and inspirational working women in Britain and to make this year’s Red Women of the Year Awards the best yet.”
“Clinique is delighted to be partnering the Red Women of the Year Awards,” said Fiona Sainty, Marketing Director, Clinique. “The collaboration, which honours smart, inspirational women from across all walks of working life is the perfect fit for our brand. We’re also thrilled to be launching the new Smart Woman award for an inspiring icon who stands out from any of the award categories. We look forward to working with Red and to joining forces with such intelligent, motivated and successful women.”
