Today on the podcast, I'm sharing something very personal and very exciting – the complete journey of how we transformed a natural beauty brand and nearly doubled its revenue in just 12 months. This isn't your typical success story filled with overnight wins. This is about rolling up your sleeves, making tough decisions, and systematically rebuilding a brand from the ground up while keeping loyal customers happy.  We're talking about Indagare Natural Beauty – a natural beauty brand we acquired exactly 12 months ago. And let me tell you, it's been one hell of a year. Let me take you under the hood and share all the biggest challenges, what we've implemented, and the results we've seen so far – the good, the bad and the ugly!  If you're a brand owner struggling with growth bottlenecks, pricing challenges, or customer acquisition, OR with trying to gain a foothold in a really competitive product category, this episode is going to give you a roadmap.   Episode's Show Notes: https://www.catherinelangman.com/episode-270/   Links mentioned in this episode:If you'd like help to achieve your goals in 2025 I invite you to have a chat to find out how we can make that happen together.  https://productpreneurmarketing.com/quiz     Other Ways To Enjoy This Episode: Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/scale-my-ecommerce-store/id1496911739 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3NLRaZh2ReX0Iy7met8HK6 Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@scalemyecomstore

I'll tell you what happened in my career before. Maybe you've been there, too.There's a sponsorship, sometimes a fairly high-profile sponsorship, and I have gotten asked to write it about it in an ad or email…but, there wasn't really a strategy. That is not the way to get the best ROI, the most juice for the squeeze.Sponsorships truly succeed when they tie into the value proposition of the brand. So this lesson in a recent podcast guest application really grabbed my attention – “Maximize brand awareness by going beyond the ‘logo slap' sponsorship”To hear the story behind that lesson, along with many more lesson-filled stories, I talked to Rebecca Biestman, Chief Marketing Officer, Guild [https://guild.com/].Guild raised $175 million in a Series F funding round in 2022, at a $4.4 billion valuation. Wellington Management led the financing, and Oprah Winfrey participated in the round, along with other backers. Biestman manages a team of 70 in the marketing department.Lessons from the things she madeMaximize brand awareness by going beyond the “logo slap” sponsorshipEmbrace new tech that helps drive your brand strategyTo build a brand that lasts, consider rebranding a team sport Be prepared to step up when the unexpected happensThe best candidate for a role isn't always the one who has done it beforeMaking a difference and building something great aren't mutually exclusiveDiscussed in this episodeJoin us for MEC050: Let AI Agents Market For You [https://join.meclabsai.com/ai-agents] on Tuesday, May 13th at 2 pm EDTCreative Marketing: Does it all make sense?

Sponsored by milk_shake X Hello Salon Pro https://thetease.shop/products/hello-salon-pro-subscription-box Interview with Andrew EdwardsonAndrew Edwardson is the Global Brand President of Matrix. Matrix is a leading professional brand whose mission is to elevate its users through a unique portfolio of products for all hair types and all humans. Since assuming this role two years ago, Andrew has refocused the vision of the brand itself – harnessing and expanding upon its pioneering 44-year legacy to connect with the next generation of consumers and stylists. Throughout his 15-year international career in the beauty industry, Andrew has been instrumental in unlocking the potential of and turning around brands and the categories within. His expertise in luxury brand management, product development, and communications reinvigorated Kérastase to become the #1 luxury hair brand in the industry with iconic products Blond Absolu, and Genesis. He has also worked on industry legend Maybelline, supporting pillars like Fit Me and reviving the complexion category in the post-pandemic decline with new star products like SuperStay 24H Skin Tint and the recently launched Sunkisser liquid blushes. With Matrix, Andrew has the same ambition: for this iconic institution to take its rightful place as the love brand for the next generation. And with that in mind, he is spearheading the modernization of founder Arnie Miller's vision, celebrating Matrix as a brand to elevate, inspire, and bring joy to both new and existing consumers and stylists. His renewed focus on haircare is highlighted by the launch of star range Food For Soft (already top 10 in hydration in the market), as well as the new Instacure Build-A-Bond repair range that delivers one billion bonds in every bottle to fight damage.Links:https://www.instagram.com/iamandrewedwardson/https://www.matrix.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewedwardson/https://www.instagram.com/matrix/ News from TheTease.com: https://www.thetease.com/dreamsgirls-hair-and-donnas-recipe-rally-to-provide-aid-to-those-affected-by-the-los-angeles-wildfires/https://www.thetease.com/fastfoils-brings-new-innovation-to-the-foil-category-with-launch-of-first-endothermic-pop-up-foil/Help Those Impacted By The California Fires: https://www.thetease.com/a-comprehensive-list-of-gofundme-pages-for-beauty-professionals-impacted-by-la-fires/

She shares her philosophy on fostering a positive work environment where employees can thrive, emphasizing that a good company culture ultimately leads to better business outcomes. Ingrid highlights how inclusive practices not only create a more supportive and engaging workplace but also drive innovation and growth.

Ford emphasizes the significance of consistency in brand strategy.

Emmanuel Probst leads brand thought leadership at Ipsos and is the author of the Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestseller Brand Hacks. His latest book is Assemblage: The Art and Science of Brand Transformation. We discussed all of this and more this week on the On Brand podcast. About Emmanuel Probst Emmanuel Probst is Global Lead, Brand Thought-Leadership at Ipsos, adjunct professor at the University of California at Los Angeles, and the author of Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestseller Brand Hacks. He supports numerous Fortune 100 companies by providing them with a full understanding of their customer's journey. Emmanuel holds an MBA in Marketing from the University of Hull, United Kingdom, and a Doctorate in Consumer Psychology from the University of Nottingham Trent, United Kingdom. His latest book is Assemblage: The Art and Science of Brand Transformation. Episode Highlights Technology and COVID have changed a lot about consumer behavior but … “You also have to look at what hasn't changed,” Emmanuel began. “We as humans crave in-person and interpersonal interactions.” “Stop trying to compete with Amazon,” Emmanuel cautioned. “People keep saying retail is dead. Retail is growing faster than e-commerce. But it has to be either very high touch or very unique.” Furthermore, brands have to make a positive impact in the world and in the lives of consumers today. Where do you start with this? “Don't try to be everything to everyone,” Emmanuel said. “An airport saying it wants to be carbon neutral isn't a realistic goal. But Dove can celebrate real beauty.” That's why brand building is both an art and a science. So, how is branding like wine-making? The title for Emmanuel's new book Assemblage comes from his belief that this art and science has more in common with makers of spirits like wine and bourbon (now he has my attention!). “The master blender combines samples from a variety of grapes and methods.” Are there examples of brands doing this? “Liquid Death has changed the conversation around water,” said Emmanuel, adding that much of the brand's innovation came as the result of relatively cheap but incredibly innovative creative. Liquid Death comes up a lot on the On Brand podcast. It was referenced recently by Rebecca Coleman and as far back as David Brickley. What brand has made Emmanuel smile recently? “I have two!” Emmanuel shared, again leading with Liquid Death for “murdering your thirst.” He also pointed us to B2B copywriter George Tennenbaum for his engaging presence on LinkedIn.

Dr. Emmanuel Probst joins Sima on the podcast today. He is the bestselling author of Brand Hacks and the newly-published book, Assemblage. In addition to writing books, he is also the Global Lead of Brand Thought-Leadership at Ipsos. In this episode, he talks to Sima about his latest book and the changing narrative he has seen in brand purpose over the last several years. Books The second edition of Brand Hacks came out in September 2021. Assemblage: The Art and Science of Brand Transformation will be officially released on the 24th of January, 2023. Dr. Probst is considering writing another book in 2024. Curiosity and fulfillment Dr. Probst believes that curiosity is essential for finding solutions and becoming successful in the world of marketing today. He has found it fulfilling to learn from people from different cultures and professional backgrounds. He feels we can learn as much from those who started in the industry recently as we can from industry leaders with C-level titles and many years of experience. The problem with having too many brands and too many product choices Dr. Probst wrote the book Assemblage: The Art and Science of Brand Transformation because he was seeing way too many products and brands. He feels that having too many choices is counter-productive because having too many options makes it hard for people to know what truly matters and which products to choose. What people expect from brands Studies done by Ipsos have shown that people expect all brands- regardless of the industry, to deliver good products that work for them. They also expect those brands to make an impact on their lives and offer a positive contribution to the world at large. A shift in brand purpose  Since Covid, Dr. Probst has seen a shift in brand purpose. As a result of what is going on in the world today and the acceleration of social media, consumers no longer support brands that claim to have a purpose. They now support the brands that demonstrate their purpose intentionally. Harnessing the power of the audience In the past, brand leaders could dictate the narrative of their brand strategy to their audience. That no longer applies today, so in Assemblage, Dr. Probst explains what brands must do to harness the power of their audience, and co-create the narrative of their brand along with their audience. The difference between expectations and intentions Consumers' product expectations relate to what they hope to receive and how reliably the products work. Intention is a co-creative process between brands and people to activate and inform what comes next. The outcomes of the co-creative process of intention for brands Co-creating with intention extends the value chain for brands because it makes the output more tangible and allows for a return on investment or ad spend to be perceived more realistically. Challenges for brand managers Big data can be overwhelming for brand managers. That's why it is helpful to have professional guidance from a company like Ipsos, to inform them tactically and strategically, and assist them in teasing out the most significant data. Some advice for brand managers When talking to their audience, brands must understand and appreciate that people tend to get overwhelmed, confused, and anxious about who they are in real life, who they are on social media, and who they will appear to be in the metaverse. So brands need to create meaningful relationships and reassure people about the future of our society. They also need to sell less and provide better products with a longer lifespan.
