LONG LIVE THE FU*KING

Sextoys.co.uk was under new ownership and needed a clear identity and vision for the future. They had a strong brand name but were relatively unknown in the UK and struggling for market share against big-name retailers.
We helped them find their place in the market, along with their voice and identity, and launched the rebrand with an attention-grabbing campaign called Long Live the Fu*king to coincide with the Royal coronation.

CAMPAIGN

We established Sextoys.co.uk as the home of British hedonism – after all, there’s nothing more punk than anarchy. 
We developed a complete and memorable brand identity, something very different from any other toy retailer on the global market.
We timed the new brand relaunch to coincide with the coronation of the new King, taking to the British high street with a tongue-in-cheek campaign, Long Live The Fu*king.
With shocking visuals, we hosted a protest and wild posting campaign across London, reminding British pleasure-seekers that orgasms should be a right, not a privilege, and available to all equally.

RESULTS

The initial relaunch generated 24 pieces of coverage, including a feature in the round-up of PRWeek’s best coronation campaigns and a shoutout on Campaign Live’s Podcast.

Since we began working together in May, the brand has been nominated for European Retailer of the Year, is well respected by British journalists, and has witnessed a significant increase in organic and direct traffic to the site.

CAMPAIGN

We partnered with the Museum of Sex and renowned sex educators Zach Zane and Carly S to host a press launch party where we brought out NYC journalists for a fun-filled evening of cocktails and educational workshops on how to use wand vibrators to stimulate a penis, plus insightful info on the wand category.

RESULTS

Not only did we build some long-lasting media contacts for the brand, but we generated 40 pieces of coverage within the launch month and over 100 pieces of coverage since launching. FUN FACTORY’s VIM wand is well respected and routinely makes the lists of the best wand vibrators.
Since we began working with the brand 2 years ago we have witnessed 100% year-on-year growth of coverage every single month.
