How Haichang used artist-designed contact lenses and couple dramas for a Douyin launch

For its 星眸artist (Xingmou Artist) colour contact lens launch, Haichang paired an artist collaboration with fifteen creator videos on Douyin. The campaign framed design and comfort as an emotional proposition: an expressive gaze for confession and attraction.

The idea

An artist-designed lens becomes a cue for a confession

Running from 11 September to 25 October 2024, “一眼能量爆FA” (roughly Energy Bursts at One Glance, with “FA” representing the Chinese word for burst) presented the lenses as both a design object and an energy carrier, co-created with a contemporary artist. The emotional device was “眼神告白” (confession through eye contact): couple dramas, role-play, everyday vlogs and makeup content placed 海昌宇宙花花 (Haichang Cosmic Blossoms), 海昌吸金体质 (Haichang Money Magnet), 海昌心动降临 (Haichang Heartbeat Arrival) and 海昌灵感磁场 (Haichang Inspiration Magnetic Field) in confession, mutual-crush and travel scenes. Separate product hashtags supported simultaneous exposure for the different designs.

The content addressed urban professional women and Gen Z students interested in polished makeup, atmosphere and everyday wearing comfort. All posts were commissioned through Xingtu. The launch stayed at awareness stage: there was no discount, gift mechanism, urgency device or explicit conversion call to action, while store traffic was the offline activation.

Playbook

The first step to copy

  1. 1
    Lead with story-led creators, not a product review

    Build the opening wave around head drama or fashion creators. Use a plot reversal or everyday vlog to place the lenses in a confession or mutual-crush scene, keeping design and comfort inside the story rather than switching to a standalone review.

  2. 2+
