Self Sells: How Glossier Is Delivering Beauty IRL
Emily Weiss has a hunch that the time-tested marketing mantra “sex sells” is going away.
Technology is enabling self-expression, but most importantly self-acceptance, in a tremendous, unprecedented way. So at Glossier she’s operating under the belief that self sells. That being yourself, being honest and authentic sells. Wherever you're at, that is fine with Glossier. She’s taking a chance that women will respond to this reclamation of beauty and their bodies.
In this discussion between Glossier Founder & CEO Emily Weiss and her longtime friend and mentor, Katherine Power, Co-Founder and CEO of Clique Media Group, will explore the cosmic shift taking place in the beauty industry and why the top-down traditional advertising model doesn’t work anymore (and why it’s inherently anti-feminist). Get excited for lots of talk about, content, commerce, media, and mediums. But it’s beauty and feminism, so it’ll be way more exciting than just that.
