The situation

Yves Saint Laurent Beauty is an international icon for make-up, fragrances and skin care in the luxury segment.

In order to become even more successful in the German market, the brand must continue to develop. Positioning and brand identity must take into account the distinctiveness of the German understanding of luxury. Communication should link existing and new target groups.

Our strategy

We sharpen the profile of the brand and adapt its global positioning for the German market.

In a Power of One collaboration with iBeauty, we lay the foundation for further development of the brand communication. Our work includes the brand model, with purpose, positioning statement and tonality, as well as the brand story and target group personas.

Our process

The goal is a blink of an eye away: collaborative and compact in its process and strategically-sound for a future-proof result.

Initially, focus groups were used to gain a deep understanding of the target groups. Together with the client’s team, basic avenues for improving the positioning were developed in a collaborative session, and then they were finalised.
