We look forward to delivering a plan that motivates and inspires consumers and drives results for the LLumar brand."

The campaign's goal is to make educate the world about zinc, which is found in sunscreen, yet accounts for 1/3 of 1% of its global usage.

"In The Republik we've found a partner that matches our marketing needs exceptionally well over the long term."

Additional clients for The Republik include Organic Transit, Hanwha L&CSurfaces, PrivatizeMe, Fayetteville Area CVB, 21c Museum Hotel, First Flight Venture Center and LexisNexis.
