AFTER DARK ESSENTIALS

enhance sexual wellness by continuously innovating premium personal products at an outstanding value. 

2020 FOR PRIVATE LABEL PRODUCTIONS: The brand strategy began to take shape once we defined a purpose. After Dark Essentials aims to enhance sexual well-being by continuously innovating premium personal products at an outstanding value. The brand vision was to become a leading provider of personal-care products. In contrast, the shared values of affordability, excellent products, and honesty are the brand’s core. The primary target audience, millennial females, 25-35 years old, determined and set the marketing goals. Having a sultry, liberal, playful brand personality was developed to reflect our end customer. We defined our voice as aspirational, influential, grounded, and honest. The tagline “Let The Magic Begin” encapsulated the above and inspired interest.
