SK-II
Retail Visuals

A fresh new face in store and online.

  • Role: Creative direction, concept development, photo + video production

  • Huge Singapore, 2017

 

Every trimester, SK-II updates key beauty and product imagery to showcase their celebrity ambassadors, seasonal products and to inject visual interest to retail counters. The global team creates market-specific creative for department stores and airports in 12 markets, primarily in Asia.

For the Spring 2018 campaign, the brief from our client was straight-forward — stop people in their tracks. Easier said than done.

We urged SK-II to try something different and go bold. For their beauty imagery, that meant creating a striking frame to let the flawless skin — and their natural personalities – really shine. For the products, we wanted to use colors and patterns to accentuate the products’ distinctive form factors.

Haruka Ayase for Japan

We started in Japan, where we shot model & actress Ayase. A veteran of many SK-II shoots, she remarked that our shots were the most natural and authentic she’s looked for the brand.
