A beauty brand is not something you develop on a whim. It requires careful thought and consideration, as well as financial planning each step of the way. Without a clear process and system in place, it can be a daunting process. We understand the countless decisions that go into planning exactly what you want and the importance of having a clear plan in place from the moment you start creating your brand.
We exist to help you to bring your brand to life. We apply a structured process to every brand we create that walks you through what you need to do from ‘concept to launch’ and through our agency, consultancy services and workshops, we will show you how to do this too. If you would like to discuss how we can work with you to develop and grow your brand in the marketplace, GET IN TOUCH, we would love to hear from you.
CONCEPT CREATION
Niching has far reaching implications across your company. It provides your business with a distinct point of view, a distinct way of working and a distinct solution. It helps you with the development of your product strategy. Whether you are creating a brand for the first time, refreshing your brand or extending your brand, we will inspire you with ideas and solutions which suit you best, carving out your niche in the marketplace.
We will discuss the process from ‘concept to shelf’ with you and help you to develop a financial budget, to put your mind at ease.
STRATEGY, PROCESSES, SYSTEMS
Start with the end in mind. Now that you are inspired and you have a clear idea in mind of what you want to achieve, it’s time to start planning your product range, packaging, design and formulations. This requires putting clear processes and systems in place from the start, incredibly important to ensuring you create what you have in mind.
Every brand has a story and a brand personality, something that makes them unique. This takes time to build, and needs to be done step by step, piece by piece, day by day, online and offline within your industry and your niche. What makes you different and why should customers buy your products? We will work with you to create this.
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
Having developed products across categories working with leading chemists, packaging companies, graphic designers across Europe, US and Asia we can help you to develop your product range. You can outsource this to us, or we can work alongside you, training and developing your team along the way.
BRAND IDENTITY AND MARKETING
Branding and your marketing campaigns need to consider the look, feel and ingredients within your products, the claims you would like to make and the stories you are going to share to sell these products. Whilst people buy a product based on the brand delivering their promise, initially they are attracted to the product because of the way the product looks. Packaging, POS material, the way the product is merchandised in-store, your advertising, website and social media are incredibly important facets to building the strength of your brand.
BRAND RELAUNCHES
How does your brand compare to your competitors? Is it consistent and impactful? You can completely transform your brand by addressing your design, marketing and packaging without having to redevelop it from scratch.
BRAND EXTENSIONS
Perhaps you launched with 1 product in 1 market, this has sold well, now you would like to extend your brand. What categories should you extend this into?

‘As a Queensland-based company, we were determined to tap into the European market and establish a strong presence. From the very beginning, Bespoke Advantage demonstrated a deep understanding of our export goals and objectives. Their comprehensive knowledge of the European market, coupled with their extensive network of contacts, enabled them to connect us with key decision-makers and influential stakeholders in our target countries. Their strategic guidance and insights were invaluable in shaping our export strategy and positioning us for long-term success.’
‘With the assistance of TIQ, we engaged Bespoke Advantage to help us enter the highly competitive but lucrative UK market. During the last few months Janet and her team have worked diligently to introduce and expose Perfect Potion to buyers and retailers we would never have been able to reach being based in Australia.’
‘Janet has a wealth of experience across retail, buying and marketing. She conducted a full strategic review of our cross functional business and the travel retail market to develop a comprehensive buying and quality control strategy that was signed off at board level. I highly recommend her as an asset to any business.’
‘Through Janet’s management skills, expertise and proven track record on the job she successfully managed the purchasing of our retail operations and ensured the integrity of our brands in-stores. Her enthusiasm and total dedication, delivered results in any project she was involved in.’
‘Janet has excellent beauty market knowledge. Level headed with clear vision, direction and the ability to drive business forward, Janet led the teams through a complete product design change advising on what the key marketing messages should be, incorporating her technical knowledge and beauty expertise.’
‘Absolutely fantastic course. Condensed learning from Janet, an expert in developing beauty brands. Also, valuable introductions to expert professionals, in the Masterclass sessions. In 12 weeks, you will learn from Janet, what would take years to learn by yourself. A very worthwhile investment’
