"The Modern Classic" is a mock campaign designed to preserve this nostalgic and timeless essence while updating Clinique's image to appeal to younger consumers.

To develop "The Modern Classic" mock campaign, I conducted surveys, social media analysis, and brand comparisons. Findings revealed that while Clinique is seen as timeless and nostalgic, it's also perceived as an “older women” brand, lacking appeal among younger consumers. Social media engagement is significantly lower than trendier competitors like Rare Beauty. Respondents highlighted a need for bolder colors, natural ingredients, influencer marketing, sustainability, and diversity—key areas for a refreshed brand strategy.

Clinique’s rebranding aligns seamlessly with "The Modern Classic" campaign by retaining essential elements of the Clinique brand, such as the iconic "C" logo and signature green tones. This touch of the traditional packaging is complemented with modern improvements, including a refreshed, aesthetic color palette, vibrant hues, reshaped containers, and glossy finishes.

2) Increase Clinique’s digital presence: Increase Clinique’s online presence by creating experiential and innovative product launches that can inspire high-quality UGC to spread the word, thus reinforcing Clinique’s improved brand identity.

Guests enter the experience through a tunnel lined with vintage Clinique advertisements.
