Worked with a Senior Art Director to develop creative concepts and copy for Liz Earle’s Glow range campaign, delivering engaging social content that brought the products to life.

The new Aveda Invati Ultra Advanced range campaign

I developed the concept and copy direction for a campaign promoting the new Aveda Invati Ultra Advanced haircare range, featuring ambassadors Bex Campbell, Mel Schilling, Andrew Le Page, and Tasha Ghouri.

Once one concept was selected, I collaborated with a freelance art director to flesh it out into a series of social media videos and email and website assets, including writing prompts for each ambassador's scripts.
