Campaign direction, lookbook design, and social media strategy for a Lebanese heritage embroidery association.
Project video coming soon
Overview
Inaash Association preserves and promotes traditional Palestinian and Lebanese embroidery, working with skilled artisans to bring heritage craftsmanship into contemporary collections. The work itself, intricate, hand-made, deeply rooted in cultural history, carried far more weight than the brand's digital presence reflected. Photos were inconsistent, captions were purely descriptive, and there was no campaign structure connecting individual posts into a larger story.
The challenge
The core challenge was translation: how do you take something as tactile and labor-intensive as hand embroidery and make it feel just as considered online? A flat product photo with a price tag does not communicate hours of handwork, generational technique, or cultural significance. Inaash needed its digital presence to feel like an extension of the craft itself, not a generic product catalog.
Our approach
We restructured the campaign direction around narrative rather than product drops. Each collection became a story: the inspiration behind the patterns, the artisans behind the work, and the finished pieces as the conclusion rather than the opening. A new lookbook format paired close-up shots of stitching and texture with editorial-style styling, giving the craftsmanship room to be seen in detail.
When you slow down enough to show the thread, the texture, the hands doing the work, people stop scrolling. That pause is the entire point.
The social media calendar was rebuilt around a rotation of heritage storytelling, behind-the-scenes process content, and final product features, in roughly equal measure, so the page never felt like a continuous sales pitch.
The results
The result is a visual and narrative system that Inaash can apply to every future collection. The lookbook format is now a repeatable template, the social content has a consistent rhythm between story and product, and the overall presence feels like it belongs to an organization preserving something valuable, because it is.
