About The Tulip Project

The TuLIP Project is the team behind The TuLIP Tool, a beauty accessory that keeps lip gloss from leaking and making a mess in purses and bags. The patent-pending, flower-shaped attachment is made of food-grade silicone and slides onto round, square and pentagonal gloss tubes just below the seam to catch leaks. It is designed to fit popular glosses from brands such as Glossier, FENTY, Charlotte Tilbury, Dior and NARS. The product was co-invented by Karen Johnson with T Murray and Janet Gilliland, and is sold online and through wholesale retail partners.

Challenge

As a new beauty accessory brand, The TuLIP Project struggled to stand out in crowded social channels, where it competed for attention with established cosmetics and beauty brands. The company wanted to build much stronger brand recognition among women who wear lip gloss and to show how simply its product solves a common, everyday frustration. SmartSites built a highly customized, multi-channel social campaign strategy specifically designed to drive brand awareness, grow engagement, and accelerate overall sales growth.
