Get Skin Happy Aveeno

Healthy skin makes people happier. It’s a fact. With the scientific data to prove that using skincare everyday can improve your mood and overall outlook we created the Get Skin Happy brand campaign. A 360° rebrand for Aveeno which helped to modernized Aveeno’s brand voice when talking about skin health & wellness while staying true to it’s core values. For this campaign I worked on and oversaw 16 TV, digital & social asset, numerous in-store visuals & magazine advertisements, a style guide refresh and a re-skin of Aveeno.com.
