Overview

Background

Situation:

Traditional advertising methods are losing effectiveness, prompting a need for innovative approaches that prioritize increased engagement, emotional resonance, and interactive experiences to capture audience attention.

Brief:

Maybelline New York sought to introduce a transformative solution to engage consumers and promote their new mascara.

Objectives:

- Driving offline sales and engagement

- Boosting online sales and traffic to offline retail spots;

- Pushing sustainability;

- Establishing mainstream adoption.

Idea

The project introduces the world's largest AR mirror, offering consumers a unique and immersive experience to try on Maybelline's new mascara. This innovative approach transforms traditional advertising screens into interactive AR mirrors, revolutionizing the beauty industry's marketing strategies.

Strategy

Target Audience:

Consumers seeking personalized and immersive beauty experiences, including individuals visiting Gulliver Mall in Kyiv.

Approach:

By developing an AR filter and strategically placing an AR mirror in a high-traffic location, we aimed to create an immersive and personalized experience for consumers, driving engagement and brand awareness.

Execution

Implementation:

Our team created an AR Filter that allowed consumers to try on the product. We used a 4000 square meter screen as an AR Mirror on the facade of the building. In smaller retail spaces, we introduced compact AR mirrors. We also organised an online contest with AR Filter, engaging users in creating branded content.

Timeline:

The production of the AR filter and client approval took 30 days. Creating mirrors, setting up, and testing on location took 2 days.

Placement:

AR mirrors were strategically placed on the facade of the city's main shopping center, featuring the largest screen in Europe, ensuring maximum visibility and access to a massive flow of visitors.

Scale:

For Maybelline New York, we created the world's first AR mirror of this size. The project team consisted of 4 people. The project budget was $20,000.
