On Sunday evening, Clinique brought over 55 years of dermatological expertise to the Vogue World Paris show, developing three unique game-ready looks for over 200 global athletes using the brand’s dermatologist-guided makeup.

In June, Shoptalk organized their annual retail show in Barcelona, bringing together over 4000 industry players who are shaping tomorrow’s commerce and digital world. Nadine GRAF, President of EMEA, joined Sara Engel to discuss the intersection between brand power, loyalty, and trust. They emphasized the importance for brands to remain true to their DNA, emotionally connect with consumers to enhance brand desirability and comprehend consumers in an ever-evolving landscape. Nadine highlighted ELC’s unwavering commitment to delivering the highest quality products, always driven by a passion for innovation and creativity. She also shared how ELC has leveraged word of mouth for over 70 years, stating, “It all started with our founder, Mrs. Estée Lauder. Her mantra was ‘Telephone, Telegraph, Tell a Woman.’ She believed that satisfied customers would spread the word, which has profoundly influenced our approach to connecting with our valued consumers. Today, user-generated content and influencer marketing play crucial roles in building trust, authenticity, and emotional connections. Brands must trust others to authentically speak about them—it’s a two-way dialogue.”

We celebrated this year’s Leonard A. Lauder Impact Awards recipients who came to New York City for a week of recognition and appreciation. These seven employees were recognized for making an impact in their communities through outstanding volunteering efforts. From delivering home-cooked meals in Malaysia during the pandemic to helping underserved communities in India prepare for school entrance exams and contributing to waste management efforts in Panama, among many other initiatives, these individuals exemplify the spirit and values of ELC.

Today, ELC honors Juneteenth, a date that commemorates when the last group of enslaved Black Americans in the United States received news of their freedom, two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued on January 1, 1863. In observance of Juneteenth, June 19 remains a U.S. holiday for ELC corporate employees with paid time off to take time to listen, learn, and connect.

A few highlights from a recent visit of ELC Executive Chairman, William P. Lauder to the UK, our first international market outside North America, launched in 1960! William was in London and spent time with our UK & Ireland and Travel Retail teams both at the office, where he hosted two fireside chats and shared inspiring stories, insights, and advice; and in-store, visiting newly enhanced counters, meeting employees and recognizing long-serving colleagues.

Many of our ELC brands have been part of the transformation of Selfridges Beauty Hall in London, which was recently unveiled. Our team delivered bespoke designs for every counter, with a focus on sustainability in the choice of materials and lighting. Consumers can enjoy an elevated experience including new services, and refills for a selection of products, with more to come. JML image copyright: French+Tye_2024
