Digital media as a brand amplifier

The group’s digital acceleration transforms and amplifies the business model of L’Oréal’s brands: through the brands’ communications and positioning as well as the close relationships they are developing with their consumers. Many of the group’s brands are already “love brands”. Here is a recap of some of the major successes of 2015.

    The incredible synergy of beauty and digital
    The digital strategy of L’ORÉAL PARIS adds value to innovations by identifying trends via Internet monitoring, enables digital beauty services such as the Makeup Genius app, and creates an even closer relationship with consumers through highly influential brand ambassadors with millions of fans on social networks.

    Success inspired by social networks
    The story behind one of the top foundation launches in Asia: a trend passed on by make-up fans who had adopted the Korean word “Gwang” to describe their ideal complexion. In response, L’ORÉAL PARIS developed a high-quality product that delivers the desired look, and stimulated online conversations by calling it Gwang Cushion.

    An online make-up guide
    In a market where digital lifestyles have really taken hold, L’Oréal launched a content platform focused on make-up and trends. To seduce consumers eager for tutorials, the group teamed up with the country’s star YouTube vloggers. The site has swiftly become a firm favourite with Turkish women asking make-up questions or looking for inspiration.

Targeted marketing for greater efficiency

To contact potential consumers in a personalised way, at the right time and in the right place, L’Oréal is developing precision advertising. Programmatic technologies enable the group to target consumers according to their interests, to optimise advertising campaigns in real time, and to measure their results with a host of key indicators. Precision marketing played a major role in more and more launches, such as the launch of the Black Opium fragrance by YVES SAINT LAURENT in the United States.
