Young people today more than ever are taking advice on what to buy from online vloggers - Celebrities to whom they flock to watch the latest video tutorials, shopping hauls and product recommendations.
In Israel, like in other parts of the world, online video searches for beauty and cosmetic reviews and tutorials have reached gargantuan proportions. To date in Israel there are over 3.5 million monthly beauty related searches, and over 1 million monthly make-up & cosmetic searches, with 35% of those searches being carried out on YouTube.
At the forefront of this trend lie the YouTubers. People like the British star Zoella and the local Ashley Waxman Bakshi who attract a vast following of people who actively search for and engage with their posts.

Therefore, in order to ascertain Super-Pharm's leadership also in the digital realm and stay relevant to younger audiences, BBR Saatchi & Saatchi has decided to create an opportunity for young beauty conscious women to follow their passion and build a career for themselves doing what they love most.

So Super-Pharm launched a search for Israel’s next big beauty vlogger. 20 candidates have been selected so far to attend the world's first vlogger academy.
The Beauty Vlogger academy was being held in conjunction with Google and YouTube, and taught the contestants the ins and out of beauty video blogging - from self-presentation and video editing techniques, to journalism and social media skills.

At the end, Super-Pharm not only reaffirmed its status as leader of Israel's beauty retail industry, it created 20 new social media stars who reached 89% of the country's beauty content viewers.

The academy got extensive media coverage in leading forums such as marcomnews, Saatchi & Saatchi global, and Contagious magazine (with two articles!)
