I'm giving myself 6 months to get my body back.
- Amanda
It's 9 months of growing a baby where everyone tells you how lovely you are and how you're glowing. And then afterwards, they're a bit like, 'Ew.'

It feels like everyone is waiting to see if I will bounce back or not.

The Audience:
The Problem:
Consumer Insight:
Brand Insight:
New Moms in their twenties to mid thirties. Her body has changed so much during pregnancy and postpartum that if feels entirely foreign and she is uncomfortable and frustrated in her skin.
Society puts more importance on the appearance of postpartum women than on the amazing feat their bodies accomplished.
​
The New Mom feels pressure from all fronts (including herself) to physically "bounce back" from pregnancy, as if none of the immense changes her body went through ever happened.
The Strategy:
L'Oreal is a prominent beauty brand without a POV on a current cultural beauty issue.
By creating a positive narrative surrounding postpartum body image, L’Oreal will empower postpartum moms to love their current body for what it is and what it has done.
