For the Love of Color

problem

For over 40 years, essie has worked to establish a strong color equity by spotlighting their unique shades against a signature white background. But in our technicolor, social-media-dominated world of moving video, the brand needed to push color further to continue to be seen as an authority.

insight

Immersing a viewer in the experience of a single color actually changes their mood, outlook, feeling, and opens up a new world – a visual story in motion.

strategy

Create different, immersive worlds of color that bring each shade to life in a multidimensional way to inspire the next generation of Obsessies to keep living in color with essie’s best-selling iconic shades.
