Summary

London 2022

After years of direct consumer engagement the beauty sector's transformation is complete, or so we thought.

Omnichannel? Check

Replenishment model? Done that

AR app for virtual make-up? All over it

Of course this isn't true, but you've come a long long way in the last 3-4 years, so we spent an evening over dinner and spoke about what needs to happen in 2022? Is the sector right to explore Marketplaces? How do you engage internationally with direct customers? Are you really ready to optimise around the customer to give them the very best product experience moving forward?
