Boots Ireland have launched their first Irish-shot beauty campaign, celebrating the ladies of Ireland in their new “It’s How it Makes you Feel” campaign.
Launched in Ireland on 1 September across TV, social and video on demand, the campaign celebrates the role that beauty plays in bringing moments of joy to everyday life in Ireland, and highlights how beauty is in fact less about how you look, and more about how it makes you feel.
The film by Ogilvy Dublin shines a light on how beauty provides a platform for expression for all ages and stages of life.
Running through scenarios familiar to many women of Ireland, we see the hurried beauty routine while a taxi meter ticks on, ready to carry a group of friends away for a night on the tiles. We see ‘perfect selfie’ preening, an appreciative nod to the tan-applying partners of Ireland, and the little white lies that promises ‘’I’m literally leaving the house right now’’ – I swear!
Finally, the advert calls on the ladies of Ireland to ‘keep doing what you’re doing’ – to keep embracing the freedom of expression that beauty allows.
A celebration of modern-day beauty, the campaign also alludes to the feelings evoked by our beauty routines – how perfectly winged eyeliner can set you up for the day, a sparkly eye palette kickstarts the party mood, and how luxurious skincare can be just the pick-me-up a rainy day requires.
Offering amongst the widest range of beauty products in Ireland, from high street favourites to premium brands and Boots exclusives, Boots Ireland provides everyone with the opportunity to express themselves and experience the joyful liberation of how beauty makes them feel, every day.
Commenting on about the launch of the “campaign, Gillian Hennessy, Head of Marketing, Boots Ireland said: “Our vision for this campaign was to champion Irish women’s right to embrace feeling good through beauty – and to remind ourselves that beauty is a celebration of feeling fantastic. We are passionate believers that beauty is for everyone. Embracing beauty at Boots means showcasing your individuality and spirit – and we hope this new campaign is a reminder to celebrate your right to feel good!”
