True Match
The UK is diverse, foundation shades aren’t. Quite rightly beauty bloggers were getting angry about it. L’Oréal Paris True Match wanted to right this wrong.
It created the UK’s widest range of foundations and saw an opportunity to convert our harshest critics into our greatest ambassadors.
We invited 23 diverse influencers, including the first man in a cosmetics campaign, to represent our 23 foundation shades and create a social media-centric campaign that would take the beauty world by storm. Changing the face of beauty, one influencer at a time and taking L’Oréal True Match from No.3 to No.1 with a 39% uplift.
PROJECTS
M+C Saatchi UK’s LGBTQIA+ group ‘PROUD’ and Bauer Media Outdoor Europe have launched ‘Pride is Everything’, a new multi-market campaign created with LGBTQ+ communities across Europe.
Running on out-of-home sites across the UK, Belgium, Ireland, the Netherlands, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, and Poland, the campaign rejects the increasingly homogenised portrayals of Pride often seen during Pride season in favour of something more authentic: a portrait of queer life created by the people living it.
Queer creators, community members, allies and families were invited to share their own images, stories and experiences of Pride. Disposable cameras were also distributed across Europe, giving LGBTQ+ people the opportunity to document Pride through their own eyes and on their own terms.
The resulting work captures moments of joy, love, friendship, family, protest, celebration and everyday life, revealing the infinite ways queerness is experienced across Europe.
At a time when queer communities are increasingly being spoken about, 'Pride is Everything' hands the conversation back to the people at its heart.
Created from images and stories shared by LGBTQ+ people, allies and families across Europe, the campaign celebrates Pride in all its forms, from the extraordinary to the everyday, while ensuring the people behind those stories are seen, credited and elevated.
A motor finance campaign for the Financial Conduct Authority that swapped conventional financial services advertising for epic bonnet slides, turning making a claim into a moment of confidence.
We published an issue of Vogue created by and dedicated to women over 50 with the aim to solidify that age should no longer be an issue in culture. It racked up a couple Lions and 20+ shiny things.
L'Oréal Paris has always believed that everyone is worth it, whoever you are, wherever you're from. Partnering with The Prince's Trust to empower young people with the tools they need to develop their confidence and self-worth.
