The initiative will encourage consumers to compliment each other’s style instead of shaming one another on social media.The effort is in contrast to JCPenney’s 2013 back-to-school spot, which earned criticism from parents who felt it promoted bullying.For the effort, JCPenney recruited some notable YouTube talent. The retailer teamed up with DreamWorks Animation’s AwesomenessTV for a four-part video series featuring the Merrell Twins, the stars of Primrose Makeup, Josh Tryhane, Sierra Furtado, Paulina Cerrilina and Hunter March. The young stars will use their platforms to encourage positivity online and share their styles for back-to-school.There will be a social push also on August 12, called “National Shout Out Day,” when JCPenney will ask consumers to sing each other’s praises. The department-store chain will also provide shareable compliment cards on Tumblr to inspire people to be a little nicer to each other.”Bend the Trend” , releasing with  two new TV spots geared toward kids and teen, also pushes young people to explore their own unique styles while promoting deals to parents.It features an interactive mix-and-match game where consumers can create their own looks, or “smash ups,” with apparel and accessories from JCPenney’s back-to-school collection. Users can add their creations directly to the shopping cart and share them on social media.The department-store chain is also running a print ad in Seventeen magazine’s August issue, and raising money for JCPenney Cares, which will fund children’s charities, during the month of August.
