Client: Neutrogena. Industry: Skincare.
To introduce the new Hydro Boost Hydrating Fluid SPF 50, Brand Aid designed an immersive influencer activation that translated Neutrogena’s promise of lightweight hydration into a real-world experience. Inspired by the feeling of a carefree summer escape, the event blended experiential storytelling, product education and highly shareable environments to create an activation that felt as refreshing as the product itself.
The brief
-
Targeted Audience
Beauty influencers, lifestyle creators, media representatives and skincare enthusiasts with a strong social media presence.
-
The context
Launching Hydro Boost SPF 50 during summer through an immersive influencer experience inspired by hydration, sunshine, and poolside living.
-
The main requirements
Create an immersive product launch that combines education, content creation, and premium brand storytelling.
-
The constraints
Balance product education with entertainment while maintaining a cohesive visual identity and a highly shareable guest experience.
The challenge
Consumers often associate sunscreen with protection alone, while Hydro Boost combines advanced UV protection with lightweight hydration. The challenge was therefore to communicate technical product benefits through an emotional, lifestyle-driven experience rather than a traditional educational event. Every interaction needed to feel effortless, premium and inherently shareable while maintaining a strong focus on the product itself.
The Ultimate Summer Escape
Rather than building a conventional launch venue, Brand Aid transformed the location into a contemporary summer destination inspired by swimming pools, crystal-clear water and endless sunshine. Water became the central design language. Flowing architectural forms, shimmering reflections, translucent materials and soft blue gradients created an immersive environment where every installation reinforced the sensation of freshness and hydration. Instead of simply displaying the product, the experience allowed guests to step inside the Hydro Boost world.
The Experience Journey
Guests entered through an immersive underwater-inspired tunnel before discovering Hydro Boost through interactive installations, educational product experiences, lifestyle lounges, and highly shareable photo moments that blended brand storytelling with summer-inspired engagement.
