Fragrance — DTC e-commerce

THALIE Paris: A first fragrance launch, with paid media and AI production built in.

Launched THALIE Paris' first paid media strategy alongside AI-produced creative for the Nocturnal Muse extrait de parfum — so the fragrance had both brand presence and performance assets from day one.

The problem

A niche fragrance launch needed the visual weight of a house campaign without a house production budget — and needed assets that worked in a 9:16 feed, not only on a lookbook page.

What we did

  1. 01Built the brand's first paid media strategy around the Nocturnal Muse launch.
  2. 02Directed one nocturnal concept with a fixed palette and motion language.
  3. 03Produced hero motion plus vertical cutdowns, statics and product-detail visuals from the same direction.
  4. 04Wrote hooks and framing specifically for paid placements rather than repurposing brand copy.

Funnel: before and after

Stage by stage.

  • Awareness

    Before

    No paid media strategy or motion assets

    After

    Hero film plus vertical cutdowns for paid social

    Motion-first assets built for the placements that actually spend.

  • Consideration

    Before

    Static PDP imagery

    After

    Editorial PDP visuals tied to the campaign world

    The story does not break between the ad and the product page.

  • Conversion

    Before

    Launch assets arriving after launch

    After

    Full kit ready before the launch window opened

    Spend started against finished creative instead of placeholders.

A launch package with couture-level taste and performance-level coverage, delivered on a compressed timeline.
