TOPICALS “FUNNER FLARE UPS”? CAMPAIGN

Topicals has succeeded in connecting with Black consumers by centering its brand identity and marketing around representation, authenticity, and community engagement. The brand’s founders, who are Black women, created skincare products formulated for melanin-rich skin and aimed to destigmatize chronic skin conditions affecting people of color. Their “Funner Flare Ups” campaign featured vibrant, colorful visuals and empowering messaging resonated deeply with Black and multicultural consumers who have historically been underrepresented in skincare marketing. By featuring a diverse array of models and influencers openly discussing their skin journeys, the campaign celebrated beauty in all its forms. Topicals also wove in cultural references and humor that felt authentic and relatable to these communities.

NIKE’S “DREAM CRAZY” CAMPAIGN

Nike’s brand isn’t just about sneakers—it was about dreams, ambition, and pushing boundaries. So it’s only right that in its “Dream Crazy” campaign featuring Colin Kaepernick, Nike took a bold stand for social justice and racial equality. By partnering with Kaepernick, a powerful symbol of activism, Nike showed the world that they weren’t afraid to speak out against injustice. The result? A campaign that sparked conversation, ignited passion, and reminded us all that dreams don’t have limits.?
