A diverse range of products catering to all beauty journeys.

MORE THAN PACKAGING: THE WYN BEAUTY BRAND STRATEGY

Front Row's approach was rooted in Serena Williams's empowering message, ensuring WYN Beauty celebrates individual beauty journeys. Here's a breakdown of our key strategies for creating a winning brand:

Brand Strategy & Messaging

We positioned WYN Beauty to resonate with individuals who define their own beauty standards and pursue their goals with unwavering determination. Think "inner strength meets flawless makeup."

The resulting brand experience effectively conveys WYN Beauty's message:

Cohesive Brand Identity

All elements, from messaging to packaging, work together to create a unified and empowering experience.

Empowering Voice & Design

The brand voice and design elements inspire confidence and self-expression, aligning perfectly with the target audience.
