As students always looking for new ways to sharpen our skills, we took this opportunity to reimagine a brief through the lens of one of Melbourne’s most iconic creative agencies — Willow & Blake. Their work became our creative springboard, inspiring us to explore brand identity, visual storytelling, and the idea of effortlessness through a fresh perspective









THE BRIEF


How do you defend a legacy brand when imitators pop up? You double down on what makes it unmistakable. Inspired by SLICKHAIR’s strong brand DNA, our challenge was to showcase its effortless styling power in a way that no copycat could replicate.




THE CONCEPT


At RMIT, we’ve learnt that in a world of imitation, the most powerful weapon is authenticity. So we set out to prove that SLICKHAIR doesn’t just tell you it’s effortless — it shows you. Our creative strategy was to highlight the brand’s signature slick finish through recognisable visual cues and a confident, refined tone of voice that speaks for itself — even without the logo.

WHY IT WORKS


This campaign is grounded in identity. It’s recognisable, versatile, and above all — effortless. It shows what makes SLICKHAIR original, while opening the door to a broader, more inclusive audience.



MEDIA


We utilised AI tools to help visualise concepts faster and sharper, without compromising originality. We stayed true to Willow & Blake’s aesthetic while making space for our own voice — sleek, bold, and contemporary.

We also saw a gap in the market. SLICKSTICK is a product with broad appeal, but its branding often leans feminine. Our campaign extended the conversation, creating space for male and non-binary users to feel seen — and slick.
