Challenge

The problem.

hince needed US creator presence for a color cosmetics range and clear guidance on which shades and positioning would translate to a US consumer.

Approach

What we did.

  • Activated 235 creators across a combined 1.7 million follower reach
  • Applied Video Quality Score analysis, drawn from TikTok's own backend rating, to assess content quality independently of view count
  • Segmented accepted creators against the target consumer demographic
  • Ran structured surveys with 76 creators covering experience level, purchase channel, and shade preference

Insight

Colour outperforms skincare on engagement

Visual transformation content is inherently more engaging than routine content. Our skincare seeding programs average materially lower engagement rates than this campaign produced. Category shapes the ceiling, and creative direction should be built around that rather than against it.
