Jade’s journey to stardom was aided by her famous parents, Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli. Since her rise to social media stardom, “Olivia Jade” has successfully targeted college-aged women who are interested in the beauty and fashion industries. However, on March 12, Jade’s parents were indicted by the F.B.I. for allegedly paying $500,000 to guarantee Jade and her sister admissions into the University of Southern California by positioning them as recruits for the crew team even though they had never played the sport. Since news of the college admissions cheating scandal broke, Jade’s social media career has taken a halt, as her positive brand image and sentiment quickly turned negative. Because her brand has taken a negative turn, we conducted a social media audit in order to strategically plan a crisis communications campaign for Jade that is to be implemented from May 1, 2019 through July 31, 2020. In order to plan a successful campaign, we completed a thorough background and secondary research report in order to fully grasp Jade’s background, past and present brand voice, social media presence, original and curated content, audience insights and major competitors. After fully comprehending the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats faced by our client, we propose a campaign centered around the theme of “Beauty for the Better,” which emphasizes the importance of both maintaining and enhancing aspects of Jade’s original brand image, while conveying to the public that she is aware of their concerns and is working to support those who have not had the same opportunities that she has. We use this theme to introduce our campaign goals, which include increasing positive sentiment about Jade’s social media presence, attracting the attention of audience members who are of low socioeconomic status, and increasing awareness of Jade as a charitable individual. To reach our goals, we introduce four campaign objectives that are specific, measurable, relevant and timely. To achieve our campaign objectives, we suggest the following strategies and tactics. First, to establish a consistent posting schedule with content that reveals Jade’s creativity, thoughtfulness and passion, we suggest posting a sincere apology video on YouTube, creating a content calendar, using the “Live Video” feature on Instagram weekly and creating a “secret” group on Facebook to connect with her followers on a more intimate level. Next, to establish an emotional connection between Jade and followers of low socioeconomic status, we recommend creating #WhyIGive, launching “Olivia Jade Beauty” and donating proceeds to the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation. Lastly, to promote Jade’s charitable efforts, we suggest creating a YouTube series revolved around charitable topics, and collaborating with philanthropic influencers and non-profit organizations. Our campaign concludes with the processes of evaluation and logistics. To evaluate the effectiveness of the campaign, we outline exactly how to measure the outcome of each objective and the tools and frequency for each measurement. In logistics, the timeline illustrates the timeframe of the campaign, from planning to implementation. Lasly, the budget highlights the various campaign billings, including charitable donations, consulting fees, tools, and promotions and advertisements. “Beauty for the Better” is a campaign that works towards rebuilding and improving Jade’s prior brand identity and image by building upon her interest in the beauty industry and introducing charitable topics to her social media platforms in order to maintain an ongoing conversation about the college admissions scandal, rather than simply trying to make it disappear. Through the campaign, the intention is not to completely change or do away with Jade’s prior social media identity. We realize the value of Jade’s fashion, beauty and lifestyle content, as this was the type of content that her followers enjoyed consuming in the past. However, in order to step back into the public eye and increase positive sentiment, Jade must eliminate privileged and controversial content from her platform, such as luxury fashion hauls. We also propose that Jade make greater efforts to give back to low income and first-generation college students, while sharing her efforts with her community of followers. Jade’s voice and actions must be authentic because if her charitable efforts are seen as a mere attempt to salvage her public image, the campaign efforts will not be effective in the long run. 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….…..….…...5 Client Background……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….….........6 Brand Voice……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….……………………………...…...6 Social Media Analysis…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….….…………………………..…......7 Competitor Analysis…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….……………………….……..10 S.W.O.T.

Beauty and lifestyle influencers are especially popular on YouTube and Instagram, where they provide a glimpse into their glamorous lives and post content like their daily makeup routines for their audiences to emulate. Influencers are considered role-models and held to very high standards because of their large followings. Olivia Jade Giannulli, better known as Olivia Jade, is a beauty, fashion and lifestyle influencer who has amassed millions of followers over the past few years. Jade’s brand was deeply impacted by her parent’s involvement in the national college admissions scandal, for-which they are still facing trial. Her public perception took a sharp turn from well-liked influencer with a luxurious lifestyle to spoiled celebrity offspring who bought her way into University of Southern California. Meltwater shows that public sentiment towards Jade is overwhelmingly negative, and she has not been pictured in public eye since news of the scandal broke. This report entails a thorough social media audit and crisis communications campaign for Olivia Jade. The proposed campaign takes place across Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and Twitter in order to increase overall positive sentiment towards her brand and improve her reputation. Through the implementation of strategies and tactics, we position Jade

    TOP STORIES MENU Olivia Jade Giannulli Speaks Out Following College Admissions Scandal: "What Happened Was Wrong" HOLLYWOOD REPORTER | 3 MONTHS AGO | 7 MINUTES, 12 SECONDS READ The daughter of actress Lori Loughlin and fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli joined the 'Red Table Talk' Tuesday to break her silence on her parents' arrest and reacted to the scandal: "I remember just freezing and feeling so ashamed." Olivia Jade Giannulli is speaking out for the first time about the college admissions scandal. In May, Jade's parents, actress Lori Loughlin and designer Mossimo Giannulli pleaded guilty to paying half a million dollars to get their two daughters (Jade and their 22-year-old daughter Bella) into the University of Southern California as recruits for the crew team, despite neither of them participating in the sport, which would thereby guarantee their admission in the college. Loughlin is currently serving a two-month sentence, sentenced to 100 hours of community service and fined $150,000. Giannulli is serving a five-month sentence for his role in the admissions scandal and was sentenced to 250 hours of community service and fined $250,000. At the top of Tuesday's Red Table Talk show on Facebook Watch, co-host Jada Pinkett Smith explained that after Jade reached out to them to join their table, they "had very different feelings about it." Co-host Adrienne Banfield Norris shared that she was against Jade joining the show. "I just found it really ironic that she chose three Black women to reach out to for her redemption story. I feel like, here we are, white women coming to Black women for support when we don't get the same from them," she said.

    Ben Mankiewicz Tarana Burke Danny Trejo Quentin Tarantino The Luminary The Impact Award The Visionary The Distinguished Award Award Storyteller Award 2019 TWELFTH ANNUAL Ann-Margret The Legend Award NATIONAL ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT JOURNALISM AWARDS LOS ANGELES PRESS CLUB 12TH ANNUAL National Arts & Entertainment Journalism Awards A Letter From the Press Club President Good evening and welcome to the 12th annual National Arts & Entertain- ment Journalism Awards. Think about how much the entertainment industry has changed since the Press Club introduced these awards in 2008. Arnold Schwarzenegger was our governor, not a Terminator. Netflix sent you DVDs in the mail. The iPhone was one year old. Fast forward to today and the explosion of technology and content that is changing our lives and keeping journalists busy across the globe. Entertainment journalism has changed as well, with all of us taking a much harder look at how societal issues influence Hollywood, from workplace equality and diversity to coverage of political events, the impact of social media and U.S.-China rela- tions. Your Press Club has thrived amid all this. Participation is way up, with more Chris Palmeri than 600 dues-paying members. The National Arts & Entertainment Journalism Awards have grown and changed as well. Tonight we’re in a ballroom in the Millennium Biltmore Hotel, but in 2008 the awards took place in the Steve Allen Theater, the Press Club’s old home in East Hollywood. That building has since been torn down. Our first event in 2008 featured a cocktail party with no host and only 111 entries in the competition.

Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin were indicted by federal authorities on Tuesday for allegedly participating in a nationwide bribery scam to get their kids into elite universities. Huffman was arrested in her home and later appeared in a Los Angeles federal court where she posted $250,000 bail and had to surrender her passport. However, her husband, actor William H. Macy, has not yet been charged in the alleged bribery scam but did show up at the courthouse to support his wife.

The three celebrity parties involved have yet to enter a plea but are scheduled to appear in court in Boston on March 29. The scandal, at least for Loughlin, has already made an impact on her career.
