OAKLAND, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--e.l.f. Cosmetics, an e.l.f. Beauty (NYSE: ELF) brand, joined forces with Beekman 1802 to celebrate World Kindness Day with an all-new game within e.l.f.’s Roblox experience, e.l.f. UP!
United by shared values and a commitment to kindness, e.l.f. and Beekman 1802 aim to inspire players with immersive, heartwarming gameplay. And, in a nod to Beekman 1802’s hero skincare ingredient of goat milk, there are lots of baby goats. And who doesn’t love baby goats?
The e.l.f. UP! update promotes kind-hearted self-expression through a new themed room, a gameplay quest spreading kindness, a collection of UGC items and a pet baby goat within the game’s Pet Adoption Center. Players will meet Beekman 1802 founders Josh Kilmer-Purcell and Dr. Brent Ridge as NPCs (non-playable characters) and embark on a quest to find their missing goats. Guided by e.l.f. Beauty’s CMO, Kory Marchisotto, players will search for five hidden goats throughout the experience, performing acts of kindness along the way. Completing these quests will unlock exclusive, kindness-themed UGC digital fashion and accessory items for players to collect.
“e.l.f. and Beekman 1802 are kindred spirits, united by our kind hearts. In our quest to make the world a kinder place for every eye, lip and face, we’re opening our hearts and our e.l.f. UP! universe to welcome Beekman to join us,” said Kory Marchisotto, Chief Marketing Officer at e.l.f. Beauty. “World Kindness Day is the perfect occasion to force multiply our kindness. Our e.l.f.
