Branding

For Bluemercury’s 2024 Holiday Campaign, I led the art direction and orchestrated a multi-channel visual experience that blended sophistication with seasonal warmth. My work centered on crafting the digital experience across the brand’s website, including the homepage, the curated Staff Picks gifting page, and an expansive Gift Guide designed to inspire and streamline holiday shopping. The visual identity I developed was rooted in a luxurious palette of cool silver tones, soft light refractions, and subtle hints of Bluemercury’s signature blue—elements that elegantly tied into the brand’s 25th-anniversary celebration while also spotlighting its elevated product photography and prestige positioning.

This holiday aesthetic extended well beyond the website. I carried the look and feel across social media, email marketing, and in-store visuals to ensure a cohesive and immersive brand narrative. Every asset was carefully considered to reflect both the festive spirit of the season and the timeless sophistication Bluemercury is known for. In tandem with campaign execution, I also designed signage for new store openings during the holiday period, blending the campaign’s refined visual language with retail storytelling. The result was a fully integrated brand experience that felt both celebratory and elevated—inviting customers into a world of curated luxury at every touchpoint.

01 Background

The creative process began with a moodboard that established a refined visual direction, featuring silver tones, light refractions, and subtle blue accents to evoke a modern yet festive feel. This foundation guided the overall art direction, designed to reflect Bluemercury’s 25th-anniversary branding while conveying a sense of understated luxury. From there, I developed and applied the visual treatment across key touchpoints—including the website homepage, Staff Picks page, and Gift Guide—ensuring a seamless and engaging user experience.

Once the direction was approved, the aesthetic was strategically extended across social media, email marketing, and in-store signage to create a unified brand presence. For each channel, I crafted tailored assets that balanced visual cohesion with platform-specific storytelling—dynamic graphics for social, clean layouts for email, and custom signage for retail environments. This end-to-end design process ensured consistency across every touchpoint while elevating the holiday campaign with a luminous, celebratory tone that aligned perfectly with Bluemercury’s premium identity.

02 Process

The Bluemercury website experienced notable growth from November 1, 2024, to January 1, 2025, with sessions increasing by 55% to 4.21 million,
driven by holiday promotions, email marketing, and targeted campaigns around Black Friday and Cyber Monday. This surge presents an opportunity to
optimize landing pages and implement dynamic product recommendations to convert new visitors. Total sales nearly doubled to $19.63 million,
indicating successful promotional strategies and potentially higher average order values (AOV), supported by a slight increase in the conversion rate to
2.1% (+8%). To capitalize on this trend, prominently display limited-time offers on key pages, incorporate countdown timers, and streamline the
checkout process with clear CTAs. Orders increased by 72% to 104,019, aligning with higher traffic and sales, suggesting a strong product-market fit.
Adding quick-buy buttons, showcasing product bundles, and integrating order tracking can further enhance the customer experience. Despite higher
traffic, the conversion rate has only modestly improved, indicating room for optimization through clearer navigation, user-generated content, and
express payment options. Enhanced product pages, targeted landing pages for holiday promotions, AI-driven product recommendations, and exit-
intent popups offering targeted discounts could significantly boost conversions and revenue.
