OLAY: SUPER SERUM/RETINOL 24
Targeting Gen Z skincare evangelists with a playful, provocative social media campaign

Understand First

Tik Tok and Instagram are the playgrounds of Gen Z’s growing cohort of skincare routine sharers. Olay wanted to achieve greater resonance with this group as well as build on the social media success of Super Serum. Free The Birds were tasked with creating and producing an intrusive, impactful, irreverent campaign which promoted Super Serum along with Retinol 24 as your nightly skincare double-act.

Beautiful Thinking
‘Great In Bed’ was the teasing, scroll-stopping tagline which formed the basis of all the assets across social and digital media as well as in store and on POS. This set the tone for the campaign which took existing comms footage, social media content, influencer posts and wove them together and unified them into a compelling, cohesive campaign using AI moving content designed and produced by FTB. With limited time and budget, this proved both creatively liberating and highly practical at the same time.

The campaign included more than 20 unique pieces of content, each of which required their own scripting and visuals, but which came together to act as part of a harmonious overall voice

Free The Birds’ work used Olay’s product visuals to execute a new creative vision and provide an elevated look and feel which gave the campaign an identity in and of itself – all whilst honouring the trusted and memorable identity of the iconic brand as a whole. The team brought balance to the heavyweight focus Olay had given to the Super Serum, to bring an elevated presence to the accompanying Retinol24 product which as a duo, formed the ‘Great in Bed’ powerhouse.
