PROBLEM:
How does Sephora express their company truths that are very needed in a challenging time in culture where the beauty and advertising industry centers the cis, white, supermodel?
SOLUTION:
Create a timeless brand message that would exist beyond the beauty industry with an idea that anyone can get behind. #NeverStop
This work set the tone for everything the brand (and industry) has come to normalize. And became the foundation to what Sephora’s Marketing has evolved to today.
This was Sephora’s first national brand campaign, ever. Our work informed the LVMH brand marketing for years to follow.
A successful launch in the US brought a need to immediately launch internationally across Sephora’s global markets.
On International Women's Day, the campaign launched internationally across Sephora France, Turkey, Italy & Portugal.
