The Idea

We worked with the Beauty Studio team to develop a new social strategy that defined:

  • The role of social for the brand

  • Key personas and content pillars

 Execution included:

  • Creating campaign-specific content around moments like Superdrug All Stars, Halloween, and Christmas

  • Filming in-store, around London, and even on the tube to create high-reach, topical content

  • Partnering with Superdrug Spotlighters influencers to generate authentic, user-driven content
