GILLETTE VENUS

Challenge

My task was to modernise Gilette Venus’ brand to reflect the evolving conversation around body positivity. To do that, I led the creation of Studio V, an new internal content studio designed to transform how Venus showed up in social.

We built a nimble, in-house model that helped Venus move beyond outdated beauty conventions and redefine its relationship with skin.

Studio V gave Venus an entirely new social identity. We developed new creative guidelines and a visual and verbal language rooted in inclusivity, body positivity and representation across all skin types.

Under the platform Re-Righting the Rules, we challenged the conventions traditionally associated with shaving and helped Venus become a more modern, culturally relevant brand.

The result was a social presence that felt more inclusive, authentic and empowering, with a clear creative framework for how the brand could show up consistently across every channel.

PHOTOGRAPHY

Creating inclusive and diverse photography that shows natural, blemished, scarred and (always) un-retouched skin, so that all women can see a skin they're in.

SOCIAL

Lead and won the pitch for Venus' social business. Set up a content lab to create always on, culturally relevant, real-time content.

PR

Sparked a conversation about some skin that people weren't used to seeing on their screens. And increased positive sentiment towards the brand.

PARTNERSHIP

Partnered with Thrive Global to tell more skin stories, as well as giving people support and advice to overcome "perfection anxiety".
