How Social Visual Intelligence Powered 24+ Months of SEO Leadership
A global beauty brand used Social Visual Data to decode emerging Halloween makeup trends, launch high-performing product bundles with engaging landing pages that sustained top search rankings for over two years.
The Challenge
A global cosmetics brand faced fierce competition every Halloween season. Traditional keyword search and hashtag analytics was not able to provide sufficient lead time to design and execute high performing campaigns, typically leaving executives to rely on gut instinct rather than data. The brand needed to know what would trend, 3 months prior, to anticipate what looks would engage people, and how to link those ideas directly to products that sell.
The goal was bold: create a seasonal experience that went beyond a landing page — an interactive trend hub featuring looks, tutorials, and product bundles that would engage consumers and drive sales.
Social Visual Intelligence in Action
- Trend Discovery – AI analyzed millions of social posts to spot emerging themes related to cultural changes.
- Visual Language Mapping – image recognition captured how real consumers described and styled trends, revealing organic and authentic words.
- Look & Product Pairing – Each trend was translated into complete makeup bundles with tutorials showing how to recreate the look step-by-step.
- Influencer Validation – Computer vision tracked which creators were driving real engagement across each aesthetic category.
- Forecasting Longevity – Predictive modeling distinguished timeless Halloween looks from fleeting viral moments, ensuring long-term content value.
“The halloween campaign was a hit, thanks for the quick turnaround! Everyone's thrilled we cracked the top five on Google.”
