On March 8, Neutrogena x AIRE Health hosted an event in celebration of AAD weekend, bringing together the dermatology community, influencers, and media. In partnership with Alison Brod Marketing and Communications and experiential agency Colina Group, Neutrogena transformed a blank space into a modern, newsstand-inspired venue. This immersive night market brought together science, beauty, and innovation, creating an engaging environment for attendees.
The venue was designed to reflect Neutrogena’s “Beauty to a Science” philosophy, featuring a blue carpet, arcade games, interactive makeup sampling, and content-friendly vignettes. Every detail, including messaging on concession stands, reinforced the brand’s identity. Guests also received a memorable send-off with personalized wood-fired pizzas in custom takeaway boxes branded with Neutrogena’s logo.
Food and drink offerings included specialty cocktails inspired by Neutrogena’s hero products like 'Hydro Boost' and 'Collagen Bank.' The event culminated in a performance by Snoop Dogg, energizing the crowd, while DJ Sahar Habibi maintained the lively atmosphere.
