2020 – Celebrating 20 years of Instant Rockstar! 

Industry veterans, Instant Rockstar, recently teamed up the the all-new AREA Academy Artistic Team to create & develop their latest campaign Celebrating 20 years in the haircare industry. 

Instant Rockstar has had a busy year recently undergoing a full makeover by new owners Joe Sykes and manufacturing heavyweights Phil & Kate Reed and for this campaign, the brand identity was re:imagined by creating a multitude of relatable looks to show the diversity within the product range for both male & female. 

This shoot was coordinated by the head of AREA Academy, Eoin McCarthy who had this to say about the day; “We had such a fun time putting this project together for Rockstar. We felt that the variety in their product range aligns with the diversification of our team’s skills. Therefore having both male & female looks was important to us. Ultimately we just wanted to have fun & create effortlessly cool-looking hair on effortlessly cool-looking people…” 

Flat-Pack Studios captured the photographic content on the day & the videography was by Lucas Worcester. Whilst the highly experienced Sarah McFadden was on deck as the MUA.
