Range Beauty
Range Beauty was created out of a need for more diverse shades and less toxic ingredients in the cosmetics industry.
The brand, created by Alicia Scott, encourages customers to express themselves while allowing their real skin to shine through.
Range Beauty aims to uplift, include and empower customers to be comfortable in their skin. The brand offers foundations, powders, primers, and more.
Alicia Scott is looking to learn how to manage a successful marketing campaign using tools to compare their metrics to other competitors.
“The workshops were a great reminder to always tap back into our ‘why’ and ‘who’,” says Scott of Range Beauty.
“My favorite part of the workshops was actually our homework after the first session. Writing out my North Star and thinking through my audience in more detail helped me think about our marketing efforts in a more targeted way.”
Alicia Scott, Founder of Range Beauty.
