The Challenge

As more consumer purchases shift to online channels, product detail pages (PDPs) have become one of the most important—and most overlooked—brand touchpoints. For even the most recognizable household names, it's no longer enough to show a product and list benefits. Today’s shoppers expect clarity, story, and emotional connection—especially in personal care.

P&G had already invested in SEO and paid media across its core haircare brands. But the PDPs weren’t carrying their weight. The copy felt generic. The visuals lacked cohesion. And across Head & Shoulders and Gold Series by Pantene, users weren’t getting the content they needed to feel confident in their purchase.

Head & Shoulders, known for its clinical strength and heritage, wasn’t reinforcing that trust in a modern, accessible way. Gold Series—rooted in Black haircare expertise and co-creation—had a powerful cultural story, but it wasn’t coming through clearly on the page.

The challenge wasn’t just to make PDPs look better—it was to make them work harder: aligning storytelling with decision-making to increase engagement, build brand credibility, and drive conversion.

The Strategy

I led a full content overhaul across both brands’ PDPs—integrating messaging, copy, and visual guidance into a cohesive strategy built for how real people shop.

For Head & Shoulders, the strategy focused on clinical clarity. I rewrote product messaging to emphasize trust and transparency—simplifying claims, highlighting results, and reinforcing credibility through ingredients, usage guidance, and consistent design structure. Visually, I introduced systems to help users differentiate SKUs at a glance and choose with confidence.

For Pantene Gold Series, the approach was story-first. I elevated the brand’s voice to reflect its culturally rooted mission—centering care, texture, and identity in every element. From affirming headlines to photography direction, the PDPs were designed to resonate deeply with the Black community the brand was built for.

Across both brands, the content wasn’t just polished—it was purposeful. Every element was designed to guide users through key purchase decisions, reduce friction, and create a deeper emotional connection with the product and the brand.

The Outcome

The refreshed PDPs created a measurable shift in how users engaged with each brand online. With stronger content hierarchy, clearer claims, and messaging aligned to brand purpose, P&G teams saw higher time-on-page and increased add-to-cart behavior across key SKUs.

Internally, the work became a blueprint for future PDP content—showing that digital product pages aren’t just containers, but strategic spaces for brand building and conversion.

More than a content upgrade, this project helped two iconic brands reconnect with their audiences in the moments that matter most: when people are deciding what to trust, what to try, and what to return to again.
