About us
Brand Management
Brand management is organised in a way that every brand has an assigned local brand manager in every Baltic market. The brand managers are responsible for the performance of the brand, marketing and point of sale activities. In order to keep track on brand performance on the Baltic level as well as to streamline communication with producer, one of the brand managers is assigned as a Baltic coordinator for the brand.
Marketing
In the first place we use all the conventional marketing channels common in the industry to achieve the marketing target of the brands, such as Print Media and TV. Bejond these „standard channels" we are aslo seeking innovative ways of promoting our brands to defined target groups. Internet, outdoor visuals, fashion programs on TV or event marketing, just to name a few examples.
Editorials
In addition to image advertisements in the print press we widely use PR editorials. Here we can capitalize on synergies of the fashion, jewelery and fragrances world, building the brand image and increasing the brand awareness.
Communication with beauty press
Upon every launch we individually present the new product to all beauty editors and we also supply them with branded PR materials. We also carry out launch events especially for beauty editors. In co-operation with the producer of fashion house we invite them to PR events in inspiring locations, such as Paris, Rome or London.
Direct Marketing
We possess a solid consumer database for direct mailing campaigns and scent sampling by post.
