Ulta Beauty: The Possibilities Are Beautiful by McCann New York
- Location:
Ulta Beauty is highlighting the beauty in all people in a new campaign, ‘The Possibilities Are Beautiful,’ highlighting a diverse group to show that beauty can be without limits.
The campaign, which will run through December, was created in partnership with McCann New York, and illustrates the beauty retailer’s belief that nothing is more beautiful than possibility – which is highlighted in a new campaign video – and that it sees possibilities in each and every person.
The video highlights differences and empowers people to be their diverse selves. Utilizing the uplifting track, Scars to Your Beautiful by Alessia Cara, we first see a girl looking to the stars, perhaps dreaming of what she will become. From there, we get a brief glimpse into the lives of others, such as a woman walking down the catwalk, another woman taking the oath at a what looks to be a military academy, and others, such as a colorful muralist, a school girl, a business woman and a singer.
Text in the ad highlights the lyrics and the sentiment by Ulta, with a poetic empowerment, stating, “when you’re ready to tell your story, to produce your sequel, to run this town…to rewrite history…so are we.” It ends with the tag, “you’re not here to get beautiful, you’re here because you already are.”
