Derma E 360° Brand Development

Challenge

Losing to Younger Brands

  • Right expertise & ethics but couldn’t connect with younger audience.
  • Too many SKUs.
  • Too clinical.
  • Too steep of a learning curve.

Goal 

Transform the 30-year-old vegan skin care company into an ethical beauty brand.

Insights

  • Younger women see skin care as beauty.
  • Loyal customers could not build and maintain a line-specific regimen due to channel strategy.
  • Current consumers had been loyal to the brand for 15+ years, but didn’t talk about it.

Strategy

  • Align portfolio with time-starved younger audience.
  • Reposition from cruelty-free vegan skincare to ethical beauty.
  • Empower the new audience to see themselves as do-gooders with great looking skin.

Go-to-Market Strategy:
Eco-ethical Beauty

Results

  • Triple-digit growth in first two years.
  • Sold to Topix Pharmaceuticals.
