Dear P&G Beauty
Welcome to Inside Stagwell-MDC, a private portal created to provide you with a view inside some of our most modern, strategic and creative beauty work. We invite you to explore and access the various materials as we progress in our partnership.
Our Operating Philosophy
Like most of our clients, we believe our brands are our greatest assets.
Our global network model is proudly built on that belief—so rather than consolidating agencies into amorphous teams, we create systems for collaboration, leverage technology to enable scale, and empower our individual agencies to bring everything they have and everything they are to a big, diverse, table.
In our experience, better creative outcomes are born from encouraging our diverse cultures, capabilities, and talent to collide rather than conform.
Our Beauty Work
Tom Ford
We partnered with Tom Ford to create an aspirational brand world as powerful as the man. A world that is fearless, disruptive, surprising and elevated a world that can only be Tom Ford.
Tiffany
In partnership with Tiffany & Co., we set out to create the next chapter in the brand’s story. Through a new identity, brand platform and visual world - we took their iconic codes, modernized them, and gave the brand new meaning across all business units to bring a new relevance to an iconic global brand.
Sleek Makeup
My face. My rules, is campaign where we partnered with Sleek MakeUP to positively recognize and stand up for everyone’s right to define their own beauty, without boundaries. It’s our way of saying it's ok to be obsessed with makeup, to put whatever you want on your face, whenever and however you want. Through our campaign, we helped the Brand make it their mission to combat the judgement many of their consumers face every day; the negative stereotypes that come with a full face of makeup, or a bright red lip, or a bold brow.
Herbal Essences
Change is a natural part of life that can take many forms and emotions: from scary to invigorating, tough to empowering. But when people go through change, they often grow, and can start to see the everyday in new ways. Inspired by the stories of real women, we partnered with Herbal Essences to celebrate change, and how it manifests in women’s choices to change their hair through an intimate and heartwarming short documentary film.
Carlsberg
Yes, this really is a beauty case!
For 100+ years, the iconic brand of Carlsberg has used the best ingredients to make its world famous larger but recently consumers began to associate quality with hand-brewed craft beers. The brand was challenged with transforming the perception of their barley yeast and to make it famous again for its quality. We partnered with the brand to deliver a product and commercial innovation in an unexpected industry obsessed with premium and quality ingredients, beauty.
Beauty & Personal Care Innovation
Clients come to us with difficult strategic challenges. Here’s a collection that represents our work, especially where the solution is unclear, when ‘creativity’ in the widest sense is required.
AXE
To define the future of Axe and launch its new grooming range, we released a fully integrated, global campaign that took a progressive stance on masculinity and helped men realize that what makes them attractive is … being themselves.
Maybelline New York
We partnered with Maybelline to help modernize their brand to authentically connect with younger audiences, gain consumer relevancy, and market share by transforming digital marketing.
Tommy Hilfiger
Our relationship with Tommy spans nearly 10 years, where we’ve taken the brand from a predominantly men’s business to a true global force in women’s. Tommy is comprised of many different business units each with unique needs, consumers, and objectives. To unify the brand under one singular story, we developed a powerful global platform, created a partnership with Gigi Hadid and crafted a distinct identity that has allowed us to create breakthrough work and introduce the brand to a whole new audience.
