Korres Didn’t Hire Me. I Made Their Lip Balm Ad Anyway.​​​​​​​

This is an independent spec campaign for Korres Lip Balm with Organic Greek Yoghurt. Not commissioned, not paid, not affiliated with Korres. Just a creative director looking at a 5 mL lip balm and asking one question: how do you make something this small impossible to scroll past?
The answer was scale. A real hand holds the balm like a trophy while a tiny woman in a denim dress hoists it above her head like it weighs a ton. One frame, one idea, zero confusion about what the product is or why it matters.
The Approach
Brand Strategy
Korres has heritage, Greek roots and a clean, apothecary feel. The campaign leans into that instead of fighting it. The palette pulls straight from the packaging: soft white, creamy yoghurt tones and that signature dusty navy, echoed in the denim. Clean white tiles bring a fresh, bathroom shelf intimacy that feels like real life, not a stock photo.
Content Strategy Two lines of copy do all the heavy lifting. “The power of organic Greek yoghurt” sells the hero ingredient. “Hydration that stands tall” pays off the visual joke and turns it into a benefit. The format is built for vertical feeds, where a surreal scale shift stops thumbs in under a second.
AI Production Every visual was created with AI generated production, art directed shot by shot for realistic skin, accurate packaging details, natural lighting and believable proportions. No studio, no model fees, no reshoots. Just tight creative direction and fast iteration until the frame felt like a real campaign.

Why It Works
Small products have a visibility problem. On a feed, a lip balm is a white tube in a sea of white tubes. Surreal scale fixes that instantly. The eye catches the size mismatch, the brain wants to understand it, and by then the product name has already landed. It’s playful without being silly, and premium without being cold. That’s the sweet spot most beauty brands miss.
If your product deserves a bigger story than a flat lay, let’s build it.
