Visual Ecosystem for a Sexual Wellness Brand

From AI Generation Pipeline to Retail Pharmacy & Amazon UK Launch

  • Role: Lead Art Director / AI Strategist / Creative Lead
  • Category: E-Commerce, Pharma, Sexual Wellness (18+)
  • Toolstack & Tech: Midjourney, ComfyUI, Kling AI, Figma, Adobe Photoshop, Blender 3D, Rich Media
  • Omnichannel Reach: Amazon UK, CIS Marketplaces, E-Pharma & Retail Networks, B2B Expo, SMM
Context & Market Challenge
The sexual wellness category is overwhelmed by visual noise: legacy brands rely either on sterile clinical aesthetics or generic stock imagery that triggers severe advertising censorship.
Competitor 1
Micro-claims unreadable on mobile screens.
Competitor 2
Low-contrast packaging blends into the background, losing shelf focus.
Competitor 3
Information overload on the hero card; product visual is diminished.
Competitor 4
Human model completely distracts consumer attention from the product.

Core Bottlenecks:

  • Severe banner blindness in crowded category search listings.
  • Strict 18+ content moderation and policy restrictions across major ad platforms.
  • The challenge of unifying fragmented customer touchpoints (marketplaces, DTC site, pharmacy retail, international platforms) into a single high-converting visual system.
Strategic Objectives
  • Establish distinct mid-market visual positioning combining premium aesthetics with accessible pricing.
  • Architect a modular design system: scalable identity for primary SKUs and cross-sell lines (lubricants), adapted for local e-com, pharmacies, and Amazon UK.
  • Build a high-speed AI production engine: automate static and motion asset generation while maintaining strict character consistency to accelerate time-to-market.

Selected winner: Proprietary Anime Universe.

Visual Concept: Brand Anime Universe
To differentiate from competitors and connect with target generational values, the design system was built around an original anime universe.
  • Line Personalization via Mascots: a dedicated anime heroine was developed for each product line . Her personality, palette, and visual tone directly reflect specific product characteristics and functional benefits.
  • Consistent AI Workflow: a multi-model pipeline (Midjourney + LoRA/ComfyUI) fixed facial features and character anatomy across dozens of dynamic poses, lighting conditions, and camera angles without manual 2D illustration overhead.
Omnichannel Scaling
Marketplace Systems (PDP Funnels)
Mobile-first listing architecture: high-conversion Rich Content, visual benefit funnels, and high-contrast typography optimized for rapid smartphone browsing.
DTC Promo Platform & E-Com Storefront
An interactive brand website combining immersive 3D lifestyle visuals with direct conversion routing to primary sales channels (e-marketplaces and online pharmacies).
Lubricants Line Expansion
Seamless extension of secondary SKUs into the core anime aesthetic with color-coded functional formulas (water-based, silicone, warming/cooling effects).
Video Production & Motion Design
  • Dynamic Video Covers
    Short 3D/AI hero animations for marketplace listing covers (Kling AI) visualizing material elasticity and packshots in motion.
  • Viral SMM Motion
    Reels and TikTok short-form episodic skits with animated mascots, engineered to bypass 18+ filter blocks and drive organic reach.
  • B2B Expo Showreels
    Widescreen presentation loops for trade expos emphasizing ISO quality testing, safety standards, and manufacturing scale.
  • Pharmacy Digital Panels
    Clinical, ethical, and calm motion sequences for in-store checkout screens focusing on hypoallergenic testing and medical reliability.
SMM Content Strategy

We engineered an SMM strategy around the brand’s proprietary anime universe, transforming brand channels into an engaged, policy-compliant community for our core audience.
