Focusing on stories around human rights, animals, & the
environment, this online campaign consists of a series
of 1 minute videos that captures inspiring stories from
ordinary yet unexpected Figo consumers who are doing
good extraordinarily and brought positive impact to
their community. For instance, a fully tattooed, multiple
pierced guy that owns an animal shelter or a former
drug addict that becomes a drug-healer, anti-drug
and environmental activist.
This campaign implicitly states to don’t judge the book
by its cover and introduces a new way to perceive
masculinity: through kindness. It explores idea that
anyone can shareFigo values; that kindness and
positivity are found within. At the end of the video each
person states “I am the Good Kind. I am Figo.”

Heredity, environment, diet, and nutrition all have an impact
on what kind of skin a person has. “Find Your Figo” can be

Recycling saves energy because the manufacturer
doesn’t have to produce something new from raw
natural resources. By using recycled materials
we save on energy consumption, which keeps
production costs down. Recycling reduces the need
for more landfills.
Figo provides recycling bins specifically made for
our original products and will donate $0.75/product
brought by customers to animal welfare/small
grassroot organizations. Our recycling program
invite consumers to raise environmental awareness
and familiarize themselves towards the act of
recycling. This program also allows consumers to
interact with Figo employees more often and build
relationship between the brand and the consumer.
