Mecca Beauty · MECCALAND

Australia’s biggest beauty retailer asked for a simple activation targeting young beauty fans. We created Coachella for cosmetics instead.

MECCALAND was a three-day beauty festival bringing 15,000+ beauty fans together across 50+ interactive brand experiences, exclusive launches, influencers and entertainment.

We helped shape the creative across the whole festival experience – from world building, brand partnership concepts, to producing and managing activations on the ground.

MECCALAND sold out in under an hour, generating 70M+ earned media impressions.

All without a traditional ad campaign.
