How we brought Hollywood back to Max Factor's digital age
-
Reinvent Max Factor's legacy of Hollywood glamour for a digital-first world. The mission? Transform what could be seen as "old" into timeless authority, making cinematic beauty relevant for today's content landscape.
-
While the brand had shied away from its Hollywood heritage, we realised that cinema's visual language—lighting, framing, drama—was more relevant than ever in today's content-driven world.
-
Don't modernise Hollywood glamour—translate it. By breaking down cinematic elements into a contemporary visual language, we could make every product and person feel like a star.
