In this BrandsTalk Podcast episode it is all about the power of brands in the cosmetics sector! My guest Hannes Kläger provides us deep insight in his brand journey at L’Oreal.
Hannes talks about how Covid has been changing consumer behavior with regards to cosmetics. How he had to pivot branding strategies and the managing of brands accordingly. AND what the “new normal” is going to be like in the cosmetics sector.
He discusses how he sets up his brands’ communication strategy in order to better emotionally connect with customers! He also elaborates on the practice of “Global Brand/Local Touch”. Moreover, he explains how L’Oreal adds value to their brands in terms of sustainability, which has become a top priority. Lastly, we also discuss L’Oreal’s yearly global brandstorming competition!
