Solution
Rose created a distinct and recognisable visual and verbal language for the Skin team, to help ensure that though globally dispersed, the team are one unified ‘Skin Tribe’. Rose recommended a skin-inspired colour palette, to capture the beauty and diversity of different skin types around the world. In addition to sharing the manifesto, Rose also proposed the use of beautiful quotes and photography/film to inspire the team and help support the implementation of their strategic framework. Rose created digital assets, a 108 page publication, and an accompanying film as an introduction to each other for all of the Skin teams in different geographies. Unilever wanted the campaign to encourage their global Skin community to stay connected with each, but also to reconnect with the things in life that inspire and ignite their collective passion for what they do.
