Over the years, they added an arsenal of performance cosmetics (cosmetics that all have lasting results). As the brand grew, so did their loyal following. However, their product architecture and positioning became fragmented as they added more non-lash products. Hint led Babe Lash through a full brand refresh, starting with strategy, a gradual visual update in 2021, which culminated in a comprehensive rename and rebrand, launched in mid 2022.

Posted byBabe Lash brand created a loyal following around an amazing lash serum that frankly just worked. Over the years, they added an arsenal of performance cosmetics (cosmetics that all have lasting results). As the brand grew, so did their loyal following. However, their product architecture and positioning became fragmented as they added more non-lash products. Hint led Babe Lash through a full brand refresh, starting with strategy, a gradual visual update in 2021, which culminated in a comprehensive rename and rebrand, launched in mid 2022.
Our approach was based on 3 areas of focus:
1. Establish a strategic brand platform that embodies their core values of originality, confidence, inclusion, and effectiveness.
2. Overhaul their product architecture and naming.
3. Establish a cohesive look and feel to fully express their brand platform.
The gradual update saw immediate results:
– 133% Increase in sales YOY, for the month the first campaign launched
– 236% Growth Overall in 2021
– 124% Increase in First Time Customers Q3 2021 YOY
– 300% Increase in Returning Customers Q3 2021 YOY

Posted byJamberry Nails experienced explosive growth ($0-$300 Million) as a nail wrap company but wanted to expand beyond a product-based brand. They struggled to align their teams under a common vision and purpose, and needed help clearly defining, designing, and activating their brand. They engaged Hint to help do this and express their brand both visually and verbally. The result was the Jamberry brand book.
The brand book centered on the idea that everyone has a personal style, and Jamberry helps people discover and express their own personal style better than anyone.
Hint art directed and defined the key elements for their brand visuals and voice. Hint oversaw the creative for the brand book: design, art direction, editorial design, and photography. The design and photography reflects the authenticity of the refreshed brand in a clean and playful way. Throughout the book, the copy explains the brand structure in a sincere and positive voice; the design works in tandem to create a fun and inviting editorial introduction to the Jamberry brand.
