Meet Your Matcha
As a Freelance ACD Copywriter at U-Studio, I worked across Unilever’s portfolio of CPG personal care and food brands. One recent paid social campaign I’m proud of is a series of awareness posts we created for Pure Leaf Matcha called “Meet Your Matcha”. Targeted at 4 distinct audiences, each beautifully shot video explains why Pure Leaf is the matcha for them.
