Full Digital Growth Solutions Rebrand Multi-Channel eCommerce Social & Community Activation

  • From Gogglebox to Global Gloss — TV’s favourite family asked us to turn 15+ years of salon know-how into a scalable beauty brand with name, identity, multi-channel e-commerce, and a social engine to match their national recognition.

    They had the vision and reputation but needed the roadmap to monetise it — from award-winning expertise and new revenue streams to industry partners gravitating beyond Dublin.

  • Full digital grwoth solutions: rebrand + architecture to elevate from local salon to national beauty authority. We delivered a full digital transformation — 200+ products launched on a fast, mobile-first e-commerce platform, a partner-ready commercial portal, and social/community activation to turn recognition into measurable growth.

    We also introduced an online consultancy model that monetised expertise and unlocked new recurring revenue streams.

  • A full-scale transformation that turned Gogglebox familiarity into commercial firepower. Let Them Talk Beauty became an award-winning, best-in-class brand recognised for creativity and growth. Revenue surged, engagement soared, and their new online consultancy turned influence into recurring income — evolving a beloved family salon into a digital-first beauty brand with national reach and unstoppable momentum.

Challenge

With 15+ years of heritage, Let Them Talk Beauty needed to scale beyond the chair — expanding into a new beauty, retail, and e-commerce space, while staying authentic. Juggling TV work and salon life, the founders had deep expertise but needed focus and digital reach to grow.
