Transcript excerpt

Okay. Elf Cosmetics just airdropped PR to the middle of the ocean. This is Oliver. He's been sailing on a tiny boat alone with his cat from Oregon to freaking Hawaii. And it's been totally blowing up online. Yes, he randomly sees a package drop out of a plane. And it's a care package full of sunscreen, snacks, sandwiches, cat treats, and face cream. And it's PR from e. L. F. Cosmetics. Now I know you may be thinking, why a cosmetics brand? But e. L. F. Actually vegan and very youth focused. And most of the people following the story right now are major animal lovers. This was such a smart way to join in on a viral conversation and essentially run an influencer campaign that felt very natural. And I think they just gained a whole bunch of lifelong customers. But let me know what you think.
