Cuddl Duds at Kohl’s

With the goal of bundling up the whole family, Cuddl Duds makes an array of silky-soft base layers that blend high-performance textiles and stylish comfort. Cuddl Duds partnered with IZEA to drive traffic to its collection at Kohl’s during the 2021 holiday season.

We enlisted a crew of lifestyle influencers to roll out a multiplatform social media campaign. To execute, we shipped nine influencers Cuddl Duds care packages, each featuring pieces selected to match their individual lifestyles and product fits. Those creators shared 63 pieces of high-quality content with their audiences to show off their comfy new duds (and give followers some stylish new gift ideas).

Layers Upon Layers of Success

Cuddl Duds paired up with IZEA to share the warmth with their audience and increase web traffic to their Kohl’s collection in time for the holiday season. Our team of stylish, yet oh-so-comfy creators helped us exceed each of our campaign goals.

We bundled up nine influencers — female creators from across the United States — to create inspired (and inspiring) content that conveys Cuddl Duds’ exceptional blend of comfort and style to our target group.

Our multideliverable campaign reached over 1.4 million followers in 24 days on an $80,000 budget.

The 63 pieces of high-quality content surpassed our campaign content goal by 7% and delivered 89,811 organic and paid clicks combined. We also undercut the average fashion vertical CPE by nearly 60%, achieving a $0.89 cost per engagement against the industry standard $2.97.
