SUMMARY
Kleenex® not only turned its boxes at Target into canvases for unseen women artists of color to share their passions and perspectives, but also tapped into influencers to spark Tissue Session “chats for change” around meaningful topics such as raising biracial children, inclusivity, and sustainability. By elevating the voices of women designers of color and sparking meaningful conversations among socially conscious Target guests, “Tissue Sessions” connected purchase to purpose and boosted Kleenex® sales at Target by +28% vs. year ago and brand penetration among Black guests by a remarkable +48%.
