Our beauty experts provide insight into how trends manifest in the real life and how these trends “stick.”

Increasingly, the customer journey is influenced online. Social media can rapidly spur purchasing among Early Adopters. For these reasons, we conduct Online Ethnography (Netnography) and Social Listening on a variety of social media networks.

We follow YouTube stars and vloggers and in many cases have existing relationships with leading Beauty influencers.
