Social Media Campaign
Emma Erhamza | April 1, 2022
It’s not YOU, it’s ME.
CREATIVE BRIEF
BACKGROUND
In 1968, a savvy beauty editor asked a leading dermatologist “Can great skin be created?” Clinique was born. Clinique’s mission has always been to provide the safest, most effective formulas in simple routines that bring remarkable results. No parabens. No phthalates. No fragrance. Just #HappySkin.
BUSINESS PROBLEM
Clinique may lose it’s newly captured Gen Z audience due to a lack of communication with this generation
TARGET AUDIENCE
18-23 year-old women in metropolitan areas
RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS
Competitors are outpacing in digital transformation, leaving Clinique unable to communicate with younger audiences.
INISGHT
Clinique’s counter model is proven and continues to serve older customers, but they are failing to connect with their younger audiences as proven by their low engagement rates on social media and lack of personality online.
STRATEGY
Position Clinique as the go-to beauty brand for Gen Z women by showcasing their clean products and natural makeup via a social media campaign.
CAMPAIGN GOAL
Capture the Gen Z audience gained to Clinique from the virality of the Black Honey lipstick through a social media campaign empowering women and re energizing the Clinique brand.

TARGET MARKET
It’s not you, it’s me is targeting 18-23 year-old women in metropolitan areas. This is the primary audience for TikTok, with 43% of TikTok’s global audience being between 18 and 24 years old (1). Clinique has always positioned itsef as a go-to brand for women, and TikTok’s audience is 57% female (1). Aligining the traget market with the audience briefly captured from TikTok is crucial to achieving the campaign goals.

SYDNEY
(THE SPONTANEOUS
NIGHT OWL 22 year old femal Tampa, F 2,000 Instagram followers, 500 TikTok follower Favorite influencers: Jaden Photography, Brittany Broski, Jordan Hexem
Sydney is a 22 year old from Tampa, Florida. Currently, a freelance photographer, she spends a lot of her time browsing and promoting herself on social media. She is always looking for people to network with, try new things, and go to as many art shows as possible. Usually up all night, Sydney definitely takes advantage of the freelance lifestyle. Some days she gets to relax at home, and other days she is spontaneously called out of her house all day taking pictures. Outside of her work, Sydney enjoys spending time at home with her cat and roommate, meeting her friends for drinks, and going to the beach.
In the past, Sydney has struggled with her confidence. She has tried different makeup looks and clothing styles but only recently has seperated her own wants and needs with the expectations of others. She has settled on an androgenous look, with little makeup. Although she has come far in listening to herself first, she still finds herself doubting her external appearance.

AUDREY
(THE BOOKWORM 18 year old femal San Francisco, C 500 Instagram followers, 40 TikTok follower Favorite Influencers: Maeve Books, Emily Mariko, Fancy and Paris
Audrey is a 18 year old from San Francisco, California. A recent high school graduate, Audrey still lives at home and is working at a local coffee shop for the summer. She spends most of her free time reading any book that romanticzes anything. Being an only child, she is used to being alone, and while finding comfort in her times spent with friends, is an introvert. Working a few days out of the week, she splits the rest of her time between her friends and herself. When she is with her friends, they like to go to different parks around the city for picnics. Audrey uses social media mostly for outfit inspiration.
Audrey is very comfortable with her style, and has her makeup and hair routine down pat. However, she feels nervous to put herself out there, and usually takes the backseat when around new people. She feels most confident in her own space with a small group of people she trusts, and is working through her social anxiety.

Anything she can get her hands on

SOPHIA
(THE SUNDAY BRUNCH-ER 20 year old femal New York, N 1000 Instagram followers, 5000 TikTok follower Favorite Influencers: Victoria Paris, Emma Chamberlin, Josh and Matt Design
Sophia is a 20 year old living in New York City. As unapologetic as they get, Sophia is a bubbly but direct marketing student that tends to be the life of the party. Living with her four best friends, she is never in a dull enviornment, and even after spending every waking moment with them, will still plan Sunday brunches with her girls. After posting a video of her goofing around to a TikTok trend, Sophia gained a small following on the platform, resulting in recieving a few PR boxes and working with a few small companies.
Very comfortable with herself and her style, Sophia is unafraid to try new things and express herself. She regularly tries new products to reflect her flexible style; her favorite accessories and products all just need to be either extremely easy to use or completely crazy.
