LUXY HOLIDAY CAMPAIGN

Luxy is the #1-rated ready-to-wear hair extensions brand worldwide, redefining hair extensions since 2010. This premium hair extension & accessories brand prioritizes sustainability and inclusivity through ethical sourcing and exists with the mission of empowering everyone to cultivate a sense of confidence, abundance, and play. This project showcases Luxy’s Holiday campaign, created with the goals of promoting the year-end sale and standing out among competition during the most highly saturated time of the year. The creative direction for this campaign introduced a new complimentary contrast color into the standard brand color palette- a bright yellow. This creative decision was made with the intention of differentiating from evergreen assets, making a bold an editorial design statement, and increasing brand awareness. This yellow tone is utilized consistently across assets, serving as a playful design accent that both highlights the sale and catches the customers eye- new and returning.

Deliverable:
Design digital marketing assets that embody the creative direction for this campaign and convey the desired summertime nostalgic sentiment to the consumer at a glance- furthering Luxy’s brand storytelling.

  • Luxy divides their target audience up into two separate groups- the first being the primary core demographic (millennials ages 25-45), and the second being new customers who are seeking a solution for thinning hair (millennials over 35 and Gen-X). While all our campaigns target our full audience, this design concept specifically appeals to our solutions customer by tapping into their appreciation for nostalgic, elevated, lifestyle-centered design. This demographic seeks quality products, values time with family and friends, and wants their appearance to reflect their vibrant personality and lifestyle. Primarily looking for compassionate and sustainable solutions for thinning hair, they prioritize products that fit seamlessly into their lifestyle.

  • Luxy’s audience responds really well to elevated, bold, editorial design decisions and the introduction of new design concepts for campaign-specific promotions. Since this campaign is promoting Luxy’s Holiday sale and coincides with the extreme market saturation that surrounds holiday shopping / parties, it was essential that these assets stand out from competition by making a bold statement that garners consumer / industry attention, while still being recognizably Luxy. Since our target demographic prioritizes both their appearance and time with friends / family, it was essential to focus on holiday events and gift giving with our messaging.

  • The overall objective of the campaign was to promote the sale while making a bold editorial design statement that felt both new and striking while simultaneously being recognizably Luxy. The creative direction relied heavily on a curated product-focused photoshoot that featured the holiday bundles floating over the brand’s signature sky background image. By pairing this imagery with the bright yellow accent color, specifically in typography application, we were able to convey a dreamy, nostalgic sentiment that appeals specifically to our solutions customer. We further targeted this demographic by utilizing imaginative layouts, striking color application, playful typography and bold imagery to garner media attention during the most oversaturated time of the year.

  • After the creative direction was in place, the photoshoots were completed and the brand objectives were identified, we began with typography / layout mockups that captured the essence of the creative direction while utilizing Luxy’s brand assets and real copy. Unique, striking, effective, playful and innovative typography was an essential element of this campaign, central to bringing the desired creative direction to life. To curate an editorial sentiment and stand out from evergreen content, Luxy uses a combination of our primary typeface (Saol Text) in uppercase and lowercase italics for campaign specific assets. This tactic is exemplified throughout this campaign, as the typography is central to the summertime nostalgic that is felt across this concept. We focused on playful and bold typography, heavily leveraging italics and capitalization as the creative direction relied heavily on editorial headlines that intertwine these two treatments to curate a unique, dreamy sentiment.

  • The goal of this campaign was to catch the eye of the solutions customer by making a design statement that further defined Luxy’s visual identity during the most oversaturated time in media. In order accomplish this goal, make the desired bold visual statement, embody the creative direction, and still be recognizably Luxy, it was essential that we incorporated familiar evergreen design elements into these assets. By utilizing the yellow accent color and curated product imagery to facilitate striking composition, we were able to make a striking sentiment without losing the essence of the Luxy brand identity. To further the recognizability and add consistency, we implemented the usage of studio and product imagery across the campaign that can also be seen in our evergreen / seasonal assets.
