I treated the work like a series of mini campaigns, not one-off posts. I’d start by locking three things: the hook (what makes you pause), the product story (what we’re actually saying), and the format plan (how it’s going to live across placements). Then I started to build the design around strong hierarchy and clean layouts so the product stays the hero, even when the styling gets bold.
From there, I leaned into seasonal storytelling that feels fun but still elevated. For October, that meant Halloween-coded beauty moments (like bold lip content) plus playful hair color story frames that feel native to stories and easy to consume fast.
I also supported bigger retail moments and partnerships, like event-led creative (Big Hair Event) and tutorial-driven content in partnership with NYX, making sure the visuals still felt consistent inside the Instagram feed.
Overall, the goal was always the same: make it feel current and shareable, while keeping it unmistakably CVS Beauty, clear, confident, and product-first.
