Olay Brand Experience Opens At Kenwood Towne Centre

The global vision of Olay beauty has been brought to life in a freestanding boutique inside the Kenwood Towne Centre in Cincinnati, OH.

Consumers can experience the brand in a new way with interactive tools, product testing and on-site beauty consultations. Also designed as an educational tool for consumers, the Olay Experience will attract new consumers and increase Olay’s customer base.

The Olay freestanding boutique is clearly organized into three categories: cleansing, moisturizing and anti-aging. Merchandise is organized in easy to navigate “coves,” brought to life via photography that glorifies beautiful skin.

Lighting adds warmth and highlights featured anti-aging categories: Definity, Regenerist, and Total Effects.

Beauty images support product presentation and are topped by the Olay equity band to create the essential wall unit. Olay equity colors are freshly reflected in black and white with clean accents of metal and glass.

The Olay black equity band is clearly visible and becomes a stopping element. Gold linear elements are used to 3-dimensionally create the Olay visual identity that is seen in print marketing.

Dual-sided testing allows customers to approach either side of the counter for ease of use. Cleansers and water activated products are positioned by the sink to encourage customer participation.

The Olay Brand Experience was designed by Benchmark, a Cincinnati, OH-based in-store design firm.
