Branding

Corporate RebrandingMedia Outreach – Investor RelationsIn January 2009, Thermage changed its name to Solta Medical. The

launch was 6 months in the planning. The name and new corporate identity was kept secret from all but key employees. All events were synchronized for the unveiling on Jan 12th with a “reveal” at the Annual Global Sales Meeting, new signage at the corporate headquarters, a new corporate website and an interview with our CEO being published in the Wall Street Journal.

a little tired and dull. The typical look in this beauty-focused industry was "beautiful models" as hero. With this brand make-over, the goal was to break out of that mold and go for a bold new approach. A vibrant identity that was younger and fresher than any other brand in the space.

Mobile Marketing “Airstream”

Interactive Microsite with Blog and links to social network sitesThe simultaneous launch of two new products gave us an unprecedented opportunity to invest in a tour across the US and across Europe. The aim: to attract media attention, create buzz with social networking links, and to invite our customers and prospects to experience the new products in person.

The campaign theme harkens to the lure of the open road, and has a retro feel to accompany the look and feel of the Airstream Trailer – representing a “golden age of innovation”.

The tour was hugely successful in the US and Europe enabling us to exceed out media impressions goal by 100% - reaching 2 billion impressions for 2009
