The Challenge

A Cosmetic Crisis in a Digital Age

A well-known cosmetics brand confronted the realities of geographic market erosion and margin pressures. The operational model, once a hallmark of its success, was now mismatched with evolving market realities. The dilemma produced an inflated cost structure and the looming shadow of a substantial private equity debt.

How We Helped

Crafting a Tailored Digital Strategy

Our team, recognizing the urgency of the situation, quickly intervened with a focused strategy. Emphasizing a comprehensive e-commerce approach tailored to the brand’s strengths, we focused on aligning operations with industry standards. In addition to revamping its operations, streamlining areas of cost inefficiencies and advocating strategic divestment became central to the transformative plan.

The Result

From Strain to Success: The E-Commerce Pivot

Our team’s strategic recommendations catalyzed a revival. The brand saw a remarkable 10% reduction in its cost structure, translating into an impressive $200mm in enterprise value. Embracing the digital revolution, the brand’s shift to an e-commerce framework positioned it for success in the rapidly evolving cosmetics market.
