Neutrogena × Miami
Swim Week

A few-second spot for
Neutrogena IG · May 2026
The Pitch

The cool down
after the heat.

Miami in 4K — sunburnt shoulders, strap marks, glistening collarbones, neon water. We crash that hot, sun-soaked palette into the iconic Neutrogena blue as the visual relief: the moment SPF hits skin and the heat breaks. Sister-energy to the Coachella & Stagecoach activations and the Tate McRae spot — but louder, wetter, and unmistakably Miami.

Anchor Color

The Blue.

The throughline. Pool water, sky, bottle, logo. Always the cool note against the heat — used in product hero shots, lower-third lockups, and the final cut-to-blue end card.

Energy

The Heat.

Saturated Miami. Hot pink stucco, sunset gradients, neon at dusk. This is where the talent lives — sweat-bright, lit, alive.

Visual motif

Tan Lines.

The product truth. Strap shadows, bikini ghosts, where SPF was — and wasn’t.

From hydro boost to heat wave.

How the board translates Neutrogena's 2025 visual DNA — clinical-meets-aspirational, product-as-hero, dewy-luminous — into the Miami Swim Week dialect, without breaking the brand spine.

What the brand is doing

Clinical, meets aspirational.

  • Dewy skin. Low-glam. Real glow.
  • Product as hero — precise, isolated, lit clean.
  • Cena-era humor. Confidence with a wink.
  • Lab meets nightlife. Beakers at the function.
  • Video-first. Built for the feed.
Where the mood board hits it

Heat as the new clinic.

  • Skin that glistens — sweat, water, glow.
  • Product still earns the close-up.
  • Hydro blue runs through every water moment.
  • Amber gel grades the warmth.
  • Bold type lives directly on skin.
Why it sits perfect

Brand spine, summer voice.

  • Product-first discipline — intact.
  • Same palette: white, blue, amber.
  • The humor turns up as strut.
  • Nothing fights the brand. Everything turns the heat up.

Same product hero. New season, new sweat.
