The whole month of February will be dedicated to the ‘Kiss Goodbye to Ed’ © Campaign given February is Valentine’s month and the month of EDAW 2013 which seem like a good link with each other. The campaign will also involve getting people (men, women and children) to take photos of only their lips wearing their lipstick of choice, expressing the ‘Kiss Goodbye to Ed’ © Campaign. We would love you to email or Facebook us your pictures which will form our Gallery for the campaign. The most original and imaginative ‘lips’ photo will also win a prize, a winner’s Certificate and feature in future campaigns.
