Olay
Because UV does next-level damage, we had to encourage people to level up their protection, in this SPF campaign.

Brief
People avoid SPF in favor of ingredient-rich moisturizers, but invisible UV continues to damage skin, destroy collagen and create dark spots - even on cloudy days.
We were asked to convince audiences, Olay's SPF has it all: Powerful, broad-spectrum protection, combined with advanced skin science.
Solution
Our approach was to educate and persuade. Asking our audience to 'Step Up' their protection, because skin deserves more than a simple SPF - but one that repairs and prevents.
Our idea positioned Olay’s SPF as 'Next Level' - offering intense hydration and lightweight protection.
We used technical graphics to nod to our scientific credentials. Imagery captured by Mollie Rose showed natural glowing skin and shocking UV damage, disrupting audience feeds and grabbing attention.
Impact
We targeted men too - as UV doesn't discriminate.
The campaign was deployed in a global toolkit for all SPF boutiques, both in-store and online.
I was responsible for the evolution of the idea through to the delivery of all assets.
Throughout a suite of assets, we shocked and educated to drive action. While showing off Olay's skin science credentials.
