HDY secures global beauty house Vivalis
26th March 2020
Hot on the heels of HDY winning ‘Business of the Year’ at the FSB Celebrating Small Business Awards 2020, we’re delighted to announce that we’ve wowed global beauty house Vivalis, becoming its retained creative marketing partner.
Having devoted itself to the creation and distribution of leading beauty brands for more than 16 years, our work will encompass defining Vivalis’ marketing strategy, whilst raising the British brand’s profile amongst industry press, telling the business’ success story for the first time.
Bringing inward investment to the region, we’ve also set about working on Vivalis’ consumer brands. These include skincare brand, Fade Out and male grooming brand, Below the Belt. For both, work will span strategy, content marketing, in-market brand research, digitally-focused advertising campaigns, influencer engagement, PR and experiential across all global markets including the UK, Asia and the GCC.
HDY founding partner Angel Gaskell commented, “Partnering with such a well-revered and well-respected global beauty house is a huge honour. With its CEO famous for creating the dry shampoo category – a global market now worth $3.3bn (USD)* – Vivalis are tried and tested industry experts.”
Vivalis owner and CEO Graham Lynch-Staunton added, “Spanning strategic build to delivery, we’ve been thoroughly impressed with HDY. Working at pace with a can-do attitude, the commercially savvy team understood our challenges from day one. We can’t wait to continue the journey.”
The new win adds beauty to our specialisms, which also include travel & transportation, B2B technology, property and education.
