- Mustela TeamMustela Middle East has several channels across the region. When the team approached us they have different agencies handling these pages that resulted in variations in tone of voice and creative strategies. They wanted a single agency to handle a single social media channel that consolidates content from all the different markets. Their objective was to work with an agency that understood the needs of the local audience belonging to the different middle eastern countries and could help them create and curate content to suit the cultural demographics and draw in their target audience. The main challenge of this project was to amalgamate these different social media accounts into one hero account that represents that entire region.

The objective was to-
