We Busy!

How we turned five-minute makeup into TikTok's most viral beauty moment

  • Launch Charlotte Tilbury's Quick + Easy kits in a way that would resonate with the multi-hyphenate TikTok generation. The mission? Turn speed into social currency and make five minutes feel like magic.

  • Today's beauty lover isn't just busy—they're living multiple lives simultaneously. What if we could tap into this cultural moment and turn quick makeup into a celebration of modern multitasking?

  • Create a TikTok-first campaign that doesn't just show quick makeup—it celebrates the beautiful chaos of living your best five lives. All soundtracked by an earworm you can't escape (sorry not sorry).

  • We created:
    • Custom campaign track ("WE BUSY!")
    • Global creator activation strategy
    • Platform-native content approach
    • Multi-life storytelling framework
    • Viral sound opportunity

WHY IT WORKED

Success came from understanding: • Sound drives TikTok • Creators lead culture • Speed is social currency • Multitasking is aspirational • Authenticity beats perfection

The Delight Factor

By turning 'busy' into a battle cry and five minutes into a flex, we created more than a campaign—we created a movement. And yes, that song is still stuck in my head too.
