There is
nothing more exciting to us than a company re-branding. And we are so lucky to
be working on No nonsense’s efforts to be seen as a more stylish, relevant and
modern brand. This fall, No nonsense (typically known in the past as just a
panty hose manufacturer) will be launching fashion-forward yet comfortable and
affordable tights and leggings. Ant Hill was tasked with creating an integrated
communications plan to let media and consumers know about the new products.

The new No nonsense |
We started
out with a media tour in NYC and had 12 amazing meetings. We met with the
fashion editors from O, The Oprah Magazine, Glamour, Redbook, Real Simple, Teen
VOGUE, InStyle, Lucky and others. At the meetings, we showed them the new
products, the new branding and conveyed the important message points. We look
forward to seeing some great placements when the fall fashion issues hit the
newsstands.
Also as part
of the communications plan, we have negotiated a contract with Jill Martin to
be the “face” of the new No nonsense as a brand ambassador. Jill is an Emmy
Award-winning television personality, fashion expert, and co-author of the New
York Times bestselling style guide, “I Have Nothing to Wear!” She is the New
York correspondent for Access Hollywood and a contributor on NBC’s TODAY Show,
known for her wildly popular “Ambush Makeover” and “Steals and Deals” segments.
Jill will have a large presence on social media, tweeting about No nonsense
products, hosting a contest on Facebook, and taping vignettes on how to wear
the new tights and leggings that will live on the Facebook page. Additionally,
we will pitch Jill to national daytime talk shows to promote the new products.
