Brands we've worked with
Beauty brands don't need more content. They need concepts people remember.
Random content fails because nothing repeats. A feed of unrelated executions produces impressions without association — the customer sees the brand and recalls nothing the following week.
Launch campaigns disappear when they are treated as a date rather than a sequence. Two weeks of activity cannot establish a new product in a category where recognition is earned by repetition.
Recognition drives demand. A customer who already knows what your brand stands for needs less persuasion, which lowers the cost of every media impression that follows.
Strategy must precede production. A concept decides the formats, the creators, the claims and the paid structure. Produce first and you are left optimising assets that were never designed to work together.

Beauty marketing questions, answered
What is beauty UGC?
Beauty UGC is creator-produced, native-looking content made specifically for beauty products — texture, application and results shown credibly on camera. Unlike influencer posts, it is produced as brand-owned, rights-cleared assets for organic and paid distribution.
How much does beauty UGC cost?
Cost depends on creator tier, volume, number of markets and usage rights. Batch programmes typically start in the low four figures and scale with volume. We quote transparently after a short discovery call rather than publishing fixed packages.
How long does production take?
First assets usually arrive two to three weeks after a signed brief. A full batch takes four to six weeks including casting, production, editing and variant creation.
Can you work internationally?
Yes. We are Nordic based and work with international teams in the Nordics, managing product logistics to creators across the region. We are also open for discussion in English-speaking markets.
Can you source creators?
Yes. Casting, vetting, contracting, rights and renewals are handled by us. Creators are selected on category credibility, representation and craft rather than follower count alone.
Can you produce multilingual content?
Yes. We cast native-speaking creators per market and deliver localised scripts, subtitles and market-specific messaging variants.
How are launch campaigns structured?
In four phases: tease, reveal, proof and sustain. One concept runs across all phases so recognition compounds, with assets produced for organic, creator and paid from the same production days.
