Victoria’s Secret has decided to make a concerted effort to raise money for Breast Cancer research. As part of this effort, they have decided to put together an event that connects their brand with the consumer and with the cause in a “unique and compelling” way. Given the success of the annual fashion show that is televised on CBS, Victoria’s Secret has decided to take the show on the road. Starting this year, Victoria’s Secret is putting together a music festival that will feature a number of popular bands, several fashion shows, including all the Victoria’s Secret models, and other attractions that lend themselves to a traveling festival of this sort. At its heart, however, the company wants the event to help raise awareness for their cause as well as the money that they believe will help find the cure.
