BoF's Imran Amed sits down with Priya Rao, executive editor of The Business of Beauty, to go inside the findings of our new report ‘The State of Fashion: Beauty.'Background:The global beauty industry is booming. “Beauty remains one of the most dynamic, challenging and sought-after industries, much more than other consumer goods — or even fashion,” says Priya Rao, executive editor of The Business of Beauty. “What we've seen is that consumers are so rabid and fervent for their beauty products… and brands are still really excited about bringing a new proposition to market.”This week on The BoF Podcast, editor-in-chief Imran Amed sits down with Rao to break down the five critical themes covered in BoF's new report, “The State of Fashion: Beauty,” created in partnership with McKinsey & Company.Key Insights:In the oversaturated beauty and wellness market, it can be difficult for new brands to gain consumer attention. To break through, they should first focus on one product or theme before moving to other categories. “[Rihanna's] Fenty Beauty was known for colour cosmetics until they most recently launched skin care,” says Rao. “They didn't try to launch hair care and injectables and sexual wellness devices all at once.”Expert voices are key when it comes to building trust as a beauty brand. “What dermatologists or aestheticians have done for skin care, we need that in wellness,” says Rao. “The way that wellness really grows is with credibility from the people who are founding these brands and selling these products.”Gen-Z wants beauty products that are more environmentally friendly but also affordable. According to Rao, brands like E.l.f and Milani have been able to address that demand. “They are giving the best experience to beauty consumers, but they also check those boxes of being socially conscious and value driven,” says Rao. Beauty M&A will consist of smaller deals driven by strong underlying financials. Big deals like L'Oréal buying Aesop for $2.5 billion will be a more of a rare occurrence. “Profitability is going to come into play much more… that's across the businesses out there in consumer goods,” says Rao.

Jenna is the CMO of IPSY, a direct to consumer business which happens to be the largest beauty subscription brand in the world. Prior to that, she was the CMO for 7 for all mankind, the denim brand, and was recognized as Forbes top 50 Entrepreneurial CMOs.  Jenna talks about how the creator economy and developing a tiered approach with influencers has been a significant growth driver for IPSY. She goes into the KPIs that are important to them like Earned Media Value and how that ties to organic traffic which is a direct source for acquisition and how these partnerships serve as a primary communication vehicle for product announcements and earned media to drive existing subscriber AOV. One of the sources IPSY has at their disposal is an influencer network that reaches north of 20M brand proponents. Not only do they have distribution at scale, but the brands and personalities of their creators, also then drive even more brand loyalty. So it's two feedback loops. One for distribution and another for brand sentiment.  --- Where to find Jenna:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennahabayeb/ Where to find Patrick:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/pcmoran/ --- Sources we discuss: https://www.tribedynamics.com/blog/earned-media-value https://www.ipsy.com/about --- (2:42) A description of IPSY as a business and when it got started    (4:14) Brand Partnerships as a supply source of products, Marketing Partnerships for amplification, and Creator Partnerships (7:21) The differences between Marketing Partnerships and Creator Partnerships (9:11) How IPSY got started building their creator economy  (11:44) Breaking down the creator economy into three tiers  (16:35) Using Earned Media Value to determine effectiveness (19:34) Impacting new subs and driving engagement  (21:29) Building non-transactional and authentic relationships with creators  (24:03) The emergence of de-influencing  (25:26) Using the community and customer forums for real time feedback and establishing deeper relationships     (28:26) How the internal teams leading creators, the community, and paid acquisition work with each other (30:25) How brands and companies can get started with a strong influencer strategy and build larger and stickier communities  (33:51) Defining effectiveness by aligning to business objectives  (37:14) Investment approach for influencers and tying to the right KPIs (38:45) Starting small and thinking about creators as partners in both distribution and content

Welcome to Episode #442 with Christina Flach, Celebrity Makeup and Hair Artist and creator and CEO of Pretty Girl Makeup.   During this episode, we talk about finding purpose through grief and managing and leading a successful business brand. Here are some highlights: There's always going to be bumps in the road and you just have to learn to ride these waves. Always have a plan A and plan B and hopefully you don't have to get to plan C. To have a successful brand, you have to be a little gentler and kinder to your self. Focus on what you've completed today instead of sulking on what you haven't done. Try to stay in the positive frame of mind. People tend to gravitate to people that have good positive attitude and good work ethics. You have to be flexible in any of you business decisions. There is no failure. Failure is not trying at all. If one doesn't work, then try something new. All these bumps and obstacles are lessons and they are not failure.   Learn more about the contents discussed in this episode: Connect with Christina via the following: LinkedIn, Instagram, Website
