QUOTES:
How can we cut through the noise with beauty? By listening, using the data, being true to you and your why, being unique, and finding cutting-edge media techniques to stand out.
Imagine every content will go viral. Would you be happy with that content? Make sure, no matter what, everything you put out there is the best version of what you can produce.
I believe that the founder-led, purpose-led, and conscious-led beauty brands are the future, and I want their stories to be heard.
You need to shine. It brings people closer to the brand when they get to know you and your journey, where you've come from, and how much of your passion is infused in the brand.
