TBC Presents Special Event for Emerging Brands at HBA

Alisa Marie Beyer, founding partner and CEO of The Beauty Company (TBC), will share key insights into the delicate art of launching a new beauty brand during a half-day workshop at HBA Global Expo. Beyer will share TBC's proprietary Beauty Product Development Life Cycle (BPDLC)—an approach for structuring, managing and delivering a successfully commercialized beauty brand. Built from the hands-on experience of the agency as well as proven industry standards, this method is designed to be a blueprint for launching a highly desirable, consumer-validated, must-have beauty brand.

All attendees will receive a free copy of TBC's "The Beauty Business Is Not for Sissies Workbook," an in-depth journey through each phase of the TBC's trademarked Beauty Product Development Life Cycle, which  dissects and fully explains the key groups of activities that span the life cycle of commercializing a beauty brand.

Topics covered include:

  • Beauty by the Numbers: The facts and figures driving the multi-billion dollar beauty industry.
  • The Beauty Product Development Life Cycle: A guide to building a "genius" beauty brand.
  • Money Matters: Roundtable discussion on the strategy behind funding, investors and exclusivity, and how this impacts the future of your brand.
