Insight &
Foresight

We conducted immersive qualitative and ethnographic research to help L'Oréal gain an empathetic understanding of their customers across beauty categories in different geographic markets, including North America, EMEA and APAC.

In addition, we conducted a global market scan to identify emerging trends and innovations that were driving changes in the needs and behaviours of beauty consumers and creating new opportunities for L'Oréal's business.

Journey
Mapping

We developed a series Current State Journey Maps that provided L'Oréal with an intimate understanding of what customers were currently experiencing with beauty, across categories and brands, including critical paint points and key opportunities for improvement.

Based on the insights uncovered in the Current State Journey Maps, we developed a variety of Future State Journey Maps that defined what the future customer experience with beauty could be, including sketches and visualizations of future beauty scenarios.
