The Fragrance Foundation announces the top finalists for The Fragrance Foundation Awards 2016. New, this year, are the awards for Breakout Star, 360-Degree Marketing Campaign of the Year and Social Media Campaign of the Year. The Breakout Star award honors a fragrance that launched prior to 2015, has been on the market for less than three years and has grown to be a breakout star.
“The Breakout Star honors a fragrance that may have had a slow burn but has grown into a blockbuster over time,” said Elizabeth Musmanno, President of The Fragrance Foundation. The 360-Degree Marketing Campaign of the Year awards a brand’s efforts across multiple consumer touch points including in-store, online, social media, public relations and traditional print and television campaigns, while the Social Media Campaign of the Year award honors the best use of marketing through social media platforms.
