Sephora Strengthens Presence in Skin Care with Cross-Channel Campaign

Sephora is launching a new campaign called “Skin Obsessed” to position itself as a leading destination for skincare. Directed by Taika Waititi, the campaign includes two 30-second spots highlighting consumer challenges in managing skincare routines, with Sephora offering solutions. Created with TBWA\Chiat\Day LA, the campaign will appear on connected TV, online video, and social platforms.

As the global skincare market is set to grow significantly in the coming years, Sephora is focusing on relatability in its marketing approach. The campaign includes the spots “Security” and “The Hunt,” highlighting common skincare dilemmas. Waititi, known for films like “Thor: Ragnarok” and commercial spots, brings a cinematic touch to the campaign.

This effort is part of Sephora’s strategy to overcome challenges in its U.S. e-commerce operations and continue its growth, despite parent company LVMH’s revenue decline in Q1 due to factors like competitive pricing from Amazon. Additionally, Sephora is pursuing diversity and inclusion efforts, such as the “Beauty & Belonging” film.
