THE ESTÉE LAUDER COMPANIES' BREAST CANCER AWARENESS CAMPAIGN ANNOUNCES CREATION OF THE "WORLD PINK MOSAIC"

The Estée Lauder Companies’ Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign is launching an unprecedented “World Pink Mosaic” on October 1, 2009 - the centerpiece of its 2009 global online effort - to kick off Breast Cancer Awareness Month. In keeping with the theme of the Company’s Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign: “World Pink. World Without Breast Cancer.™” the Company is planning to create the world’s largest online photo mosaic in the shape of a Pink Ribbon, with participants from around the world sharing their support for breast health and the desire for a world without breast cancer. The online campaign will reach an estimated 200 million people worldwide.

Mrs. Evelyn H. Lauder, Senior Corporate Vice President of The Estée Lauder Companies and Founder and Chairman of The Breast Cancer Research Foundation stated, “I’m thrilled that we will be extending The Estée Lauder Companies’ Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign to new lengths this October by reaching millions of women and men worldwide with the lifesaving message of the importance of breast health and early detection through the World Pink Mosaic in the shape of the ubiquitous Pink Ribbon. The Estée Lauder Companies’ Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign has now distributed more than 100 million Pink Ribbons and this online initiative allows us to reach people on every corner of the earth. Join Us! Knowledge is power and early detection saves lives.”

Building on the success of its first comprehensive digital marketing effort in 2008, people from around the world can submit their photo into this virtual mosaic as a simple means of donning a virtual pink ribbon and lending their participation and support to this global cause. Participants can distinguish themselves within the mosaic as either “supporter,” “survivor” or one “touched” by this disease, through photo frames in different shades of pink or white. As submissions are uploaded, they become part of a virtual tapestry that will take the shape of a giant Pink Ribbon. Individuals can, in turn, share their participation with friends and family by posting it to their social networking profiles, sending a link to Twitter or emailing it.

The World Pink Mosaic will be accessible through multiple locations on the web, including The Breast Cancer Research Foundation’s official website, Brickfish.com, the social media platform provider of the campaign, and 15 Estée Lauder Companies brands’ websites (a complete list is below).

To drive awareness and excitement around the World Pink Mosaic, the Company plans a comprehensive Twitter effort for the month (Twitter.com/WorldPink2009) beginning on October 1, along with social media outreach extending to Facebook and the blogging community. In addition, participating Estée Lauder Companies brands will be supporting the program via email, search engine marketing and website promotion.
Banner ads calling attention to the World Pink Mosaic are expected to deliver upwards of 200 million impressions, running across a range of publisher sites, ad networks, mobile networks and social networking sites.

The Estée Lauder Companies’ 2009 Online Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign is being made possible through the generous support of several key online media and agency partners: Brickfish, Tender Creative, phd Media, Attention! Social Media Marketing and Range Online Media. In addition, numerous online media sites, and networks donated advertising inventory to help support the cause and drive World Pink Mosaic participation.

The Estée Lauder Companies’ 2009 Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign, “World Pink. World Without Breast Cancer.™ Wear a Pink Ribbon. Make a Difference.” encapsulates the spirit of bringing people together from all walks of life to find a cure for breast cancer. Breast cancer knows no barriers and does not discriminate. It does not care about the color of your skin, the country you live in or whether you are young or old. This October, the BCA Campaign will be present in over 70 countries and will unite around one common goal: to reach every corner of the world with the message about the importance of early detection and to raise significant funds for research in order to attain a world without breast cancer. Fifteen of The Estée Lauder Companies’ highly sought-after brands will sell Pink Ribbon Products to raise money for The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. October 2009 also marks the 10 Year Anniversary of The Estée Lauder Companies’ Global Landmark Illumination Initiative whereby more than 200 landmarks worldwide will be illuminated in pinks lights to spread the message that early detection saves lives. Knowledge is Power.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
