Persona-led brand repositioning strategy with a scalable campaign system

Since the 70’s, the Reef brand has maintained a strong presence in the Australian skincare market. The brand is positioned as having a fun-loving personality that resonates with its younger target audience – like the New Zealand market, those are now Gen Z’s.

Our creative response needed to appeal to this new generation of consumer and align with the newly developed New Zealand creative approach – ‘brands as people’.

See you at the beach

In New Zealand, the campaign introduced a strong and recognisable brand persona to capture attention and build a lasting value proposition.

This persona appears across all campaign touchpoints. As a result, it increases visibility, frequency, and memorability.

Most importantly, consumers can imagine being friends with Reef.

However, the Australian market required a broader approach. It reflects a wider range of personalities and social contexts.

See you at the parade

We captured brand personas through iconic portrait photography. Each one represents a relatable occasion:

  • Beach (everyday)

  • Party (schoolies)

  • Parade (pride)

To improve clarity, we paired each occasion with a curated product range. This highlights product variety without overwhelming the audience.

Campaign delivery

We delivered the campaign concept and a clear playbook. This framework ensures brand consistency across agencies.

In addition, it supports effective rollout across multiple markets and channels.
