About the Campaign

We helped plan, design, write and promote this viral marketing campaign for The Art of Living 21-Day Happiness Challenge to reinvigorate their email list of existing subscribers and volunteers.

People loved it and 30% of all 11,000 subscribers came from social sharing!

Even after this became their highest converting landing page of all time, we improved it by an additional 11.6% by highlighting social proof (from 19.8% to 22.1% CR).
