STAGE 1

How Beauty Brands Create Local Relevance Across Distinct EMEA Markets

  • View Session Description

    Let’s face it: everyone loves beauty. But what beauty means in, say, Dubai may be very different from what it means in Dublin—and for brands operating across EMEA, understanding these cultural nuances is key to building relevance and connection with consumers. In this session, moderated by CEW’s Sallie Berkerey, leaders from top beauty brands share how they’re leveraging creators to accelerate go-to-market strategies and craft campaigns that resonate with local audiences. You'll also hear how beauty brands maintain their distinct identity within larger parent companies, and how those highly-matrixed corporations effectively share insights across brands and markets to stay aligned, agile, and impactful.
