Brief

Re-Launch Maybelline NY's Color Sensational red lipsticks to young ‘veiled’ Arab women.

Truth

Arab women have always loved being feminine and flamboyant. In her own way, the Arab woman wants to be seen and heard, and wants to 'leave her mark'.

Insight

Veiled women spark curiosity. You want to know what's underneath the veil...

Idea

Red Mark was developed while adhering to the restrictions of Saudi Arabian culture; our communication could not include pictures or videos of models. We used the 'curiosity' element (i.e. Red Lady) to tell the story of who is really underneath that veil. 

An extensive communication media mix was created. It covered Facebook, TV, cinemas, sponsorships, and radio.
