NYC IN-STORE IMMERSIVE LOBBY EXPERIENCE

We were asked to create an immersive, social-first experience in the lobby of the NYC Times Square Store. We selected and partnered with NY-based mural artist, Jason Naylor, to create a vibrant portrayal of the city’s skyline infused with Sephora’s beauty personality. He also custom-painted a set of human-sized beauty product statues for picture-perfect moments.

NYC IN-STORE VIDEO

Since the Sephora store was located on the floor below the lobby, we were tasked to find an eye-catching way to entice visitors to take the escalators downstairs to shop. We wanted guests to feel like they were getting immersed into the beauty world upon entering our store so our visuals for the video focused on large-than-life, oddly satisfying beauty moments. We partnered with the multi-talented 3D artist, Spencer Higgins, to create a one-minute video that showcases the breadth of what Sephora has to offer.
