L'Oréal PARIS #TXT

Woman posing for new hairproduct

For the relaunch of the famous L’Oréal Studio Line  product range from the 80’s, the German market decided to launch with Razorfish their first own digital campaign ever.

While people love taking pictures of themselves aka Selfies, we wanted to make use of animated GIFs that would have a unique appeal and be very fashionable.

By focusing on the demographic of individuals aged 16 to 35, we strategically aligned a product with the unique insights gleaned from this specific target group. The result: cinematic Gifs that would highlight the moving hairstyle in every selfie

To bring the idea to the streets, we translated movement, texture and moldable hair into a unique mobile application that enabled everyone to create cinematic GIFs of themselves. The whole campaign was accompanied by TVCs, OOH and print ads.

The incorporation of a social media contest.

The inclusion of a social media contest, especially through the innovative use of gifs for sharing, contributed to early success within the evolving landscape of social media.

The incorporation of a social media contest involving innovative profile gifs  involved encouraged users to create and share animated images related the #TXT campaign. This was a way to engage and interact with the audience while also promoting the brand in a creative and shareable manner.

In my role as Senior Art Director, I spearheaded the process of transforming initial wireframes and preliminary visual concepts into an adaptable, fully responsive design. Collaborating closely with the conceptual and technical teams, I successfully ironed out any remaining issues and facilitated the realization of a multi-faceted web special and app.
