The challenge
Simple is a brand that provides a range of skincare products that are targeted towards individuals with sensitive skin. Their marketing typically emphasises the fact that their products have no dyes, artificial perfumes or irritants. For their Halloween approach, they were specifically showcasing their eye makeup remover, and showing audiences how it can be a great asset to your Halloween costume, after all of the festivities have come to an end.
The brand took advantage of Twitter’s feature that allows any individual tweet to contain up to 4 photos, and used it in a strategic way to tell a story. They created 3 separate images that came together as one cohesive message, using large and easy-to-read text along with bright imagery to help make it happen.
They took the features that are unique to Twitter, and incorporated them into their marketing strategy in order to create an ad that served the Halloween audiences on that specific platform.
