Love Beauty and Planet

Love Beauty and Planet is a sustainable beauty brand that targets Gen Z and Millennial consumers through their cohesive and colorful social media content. My partner, Antonia Sousa, and I took a closer look at the brand, learning about the brand story, position, promise, personality, voice, behavior, design, and audience sentiment.

We gathered quantitative and qualitative data within four platforms: Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and Youtube. Using the information we gathered, we transformed our raw data into compelling visuals to tell a story. This data story informed our content suggestions, our proposed campaigns, content calendar, and mock-ups.

Reflection

Initially, our hypotheses centered around conversion, the process of converting viewers into consumers, and increasing this rate through an increase in advertising. After conducting more research and taking a look at the audience’s response, it is clear that LBP does not necessarily need to spend more on their advertising but rather optimize their current ads.

For example, on Instagram, users often ask questions regarding availability of products internationally. LBP does have a UK website; yet, this is not something they focus on within social media. Additionally, to maintain and expand their client base, LBP needs to look into plastic-free solutions. Consumers are no longer satisfied with statements; they want actions, and implementing plastic-free solutions would show consumers that LBP is fully committed to their primary goal:

“Whatever we do must be good for beauty and give a little love to the planet.”
