We are the leading authority for the development of bespoke beauty brands, turning our clients’ ideas into profitable finished product of the highest quality. We start with researching and developing the concept and create a detailed, strategic brand plan. This will encompass the overall vision for the brand, clarify the market positioning and competitive set, identify the target customer, USP, core values, key messaging, brand architecture, product line up, pricing strategy, cost targets, technical parameters, critical path, sales distribution plan and launch strategy. Consider this your essential road map before the journey begins. Once the strategy and budgets are agreed and all 3rd party resources are in place, we project manage the development of the brand and products, overseeing formulation, design, packaging, production, logistics and PR. At the appropriate time we will prepare a concise and impactful sales presentation and introduce you and your brand to relevant buyers managing the negotiation and all pre-launch activity and administration.
