The challenge



Weegle is more than a hair tie: a moldable tube that becomes a bracelet, clips onto a bag or ties up hair in seconds.

The client imagined it as an iconic symbol for the new generation appealing to both Gen Z and kids.


The ambition was clear: a launch for a product as a cultural object. That’s why we set the challenge in one field only a: TikTok-first campaign.

Our insight



Young audiences doesn’t simply buy functional products, they buy aesthetic codes that help define who they are.


TikTok is the natural arena for this: everyday life becomes content and objects become trends.
Weegle’s shapeshifting nature, from hair tie to charm, made it the perfect candidate to live and grow in this ecosystem.

The concept



The video hero’s art direction was conceived as a hybrid: the polish of a classic ADV production combined with subtle TikTok references. This balance gave the video the authority of a brand statement while allowing the output of content creators to feel authentically native to the platform.

The video hero was designed as a pop-inspired TikTok clip:


  • Vertical transitions, dynamic gestures and bold colors.

  • Young protagonists playing with the camera like a cellphone.

  • An original jingle acting as sonic identity.


To reinforce the message of versatility we also created three additional 6-second cuts each highlighting a different product feature.

I contributed to the project from the very beginning, first shaping the digital strategy and later taking on art direction.


Art Direction


  • Directed the aesthetic vision of video & photo shoots, from set design to styling and casting with a focus on hair diversity.

  • Ensured creative consistency across hero-video, 3 cuts and photography.

  • Defined the brand’s visual assets: logo, color palette, typography.


digital strategy


  • Supported and defined the TikTok-first activation with the digital team.

  • Designed the roadmap for micro-creators, influencer activations and UGC participation.

  • Structured briefs and content formats to ensure consistency across outputs.

  • Managed creator and influencer selection, content review, and publication


This dual role allowed me to follow Weegle across its entire lifecycle from positioning to execution.

Outputs



The outputs supported the product launch that secured client trust and cultural relevance. Creator content aligned perfectly with Gen Z aesthetics highlighting Weegle’s playful versatility.


  • Video hero (vertical format) and 3 feature-focused cuts.

  • Creator & influencer videos organically supporting the campaign narrative and extending reach through authentic content.

  • Photo shooting for both campaign assets and corporate use.

  • Logo and full visual toolkit (palette, fonts, graphic rules).



Takeaway



My role in Weegle was about continuity: I started by shaping the digital strategy and then directed the art direction that built its aesthetic world.


By merging a classic polished adv video with a content creators activation we launched Weegle not just as an accessory but as a playful, versatile and designed product for a generation that communicates through visuals and sound.
