Uncommon creative direction, copywriting, and voice strategy for fashion, beauty, lifestyle, and luxury brands — by creative director Cristina Black (often misspelled as Christina Black).
 

THE ICONIC

Campaign Narrative Sprint

A focused strategic story structure to define the thesis, mantra and message hierarchy behind your next campaign or launch.

Without a thesis, it’s just content.

Creative can be beautiful. Media can be funded. But without a clear emotional center, a campaign drifts.

Many campaigns falter not because of execution, but because the central idea lacks clarity and hierarchy.

Before creative is built and budgets are deployed, the narrative spine must be strong.


COMMON SIGNALS YOU MAY NEED TO TIGHTEN YOUR CAMPAIGN NARRATIVE

  • Messaging feels interchangeable

  • Taglines don’t scale beyond a single asset

  • Campaign energy doesn’t ladder to brand positioning

  • Product benefits overpower the emotional core

  • Internal teams interpret the message differently


If one or more of these signals is showing up in your brand, or you want to avoid the costs of a loosely conceived campaign

it’s worth a conversation about how to tighten your message.

Campaign without compromise.

We define the thesis, structure and message hierarchy that allow a launch to feel singular, scalable, and unmistakably aligned with the brand.

We’ll identify a narrative hook and build a system that ensures it will reverberate across platforms.

We create a campaign concept, then tell the story in a universal way, in a few undeniable words. Suddenly, it all makes sense, everywhere it shows up.

This scope includes:

  • Central campaign concept

  • Core line / mantra

  • Supporting message system

  • Hierarchy framework

  • Tonal guardrails

  • Alignment brief for creative teams
