Inflection Point
Time for a different shade of beauty
Legacy beauty brands cast a long shadow — born out of boardrooms and dictating a very narrow image of what beauty should look like. IPSY came to shake things up, and use data to actually listen to individuals to deliver products that celebrate self-expression instead of stifle it. On a run of rapid growth, they acquired several other like-minded companies, and needed a brand to unify their beliefs and turn up their volume in the market.
Insight & Idea
The Beauty Mark & Data Point
Using data to listen to people and promote self-expression was core to IPSY as a company. We went looking for cultural symbols that could simultaneously capture both. The beauty mark (and data point) became a beacon of inspiration. It was singular but also spanned time, culture, race, gender, and background. Combined with the new brand name we devised, Beauty For All Industries (BFA), a powerful story came to be.
