The Bearded Man

The Brief

We at 528 Creative worked with Conor at The Bearded Man Ireland to create a versatile library of content for use across Instagram reels, stories, posts, and the brand’s website. The goal was to capture Conor’s big personality - the heart of the brand - while also providing him with curated, professional visuals that he could use flexibly.

We created over 10 social media reels and 70 + high quality images. The reels highlighted Conor’s unique character and craftsmanship, while the imagery served multiple purposes: polished posts, clean story backdrops for sharing updates, and content that reinforced The Bearded Man Ireland’s strong identity.
