We launched the Violet Grey Cover Story “The Genius of Pat McGrath” with a social campaign worthy of the profile’s two subjects.

This hashtag-generated campaign inspired users to nominate the #NoOrdinaryWoman in their life to let them know how absolutely extraordinary they are.


We debuted the campaign by defining what a #NoOrdinaryWoman is on our social channels, then nominating influencers who embodied the definition. They in return nominated those they deemed #NoOrdinaryWoman.

The ripple effect has been infectious, receiving over 1 million social impressions.

Ms. Kardashian West—the most scrutinized woman of our time, as Elizabeth Taylor was in hers—is the model for a re-examination of the Cleopatra tales from 60 and 2,000 years ago.
