Mabel's Labels
Case Studies
Objective
Mabel’s Labels, the brand of customizable peel-and-stick labels, was a market leader in its native Canada. When the brand launched in the US, it wanted to establish the same market position and create relevance for the brand 365 days a year, not just for the back-to-school and camp seasons. The brand also wanted to enforce co-founder Julie Cole as the face of the company.

- Success from the use of Mabel’s Labels as a birthday party favor among celebrities resulted in the creation of the brand’s Loot Bag combo product offering, which has further enhanced media placement opportunity in a variety of channels.
- GGBPR created hard mailings to editorial departments based on story concepts and seasonal trends to inspire editors on the many uses of labels.
- Julie Cole was pitched for broadcast segments, print features, and guest blogger opportunities to cement her as an expert in all things related to labels and life organization.
