The global beauty industry has been valued at over $450 billion by McKinsey & Company’s 2025 Beauty Report, making it one of the fastest-growing segments in the consumer goods market. It has resulted in a highly competitive and saturated market, with brands racing to expand their product lines while promising innovative formulations and a perfectly curated ‘world’ - one that invites their community into a crafted aesthetic and visual identity that reflects not just the brand, but also its founder and audience. However, the cost and speed required to sustain this level of growth has become increasingly difficult for many brands to manage without external investment or the backing of established retail and distribution partners. With this in mind, many beauty brands have turned to mergers and acquisitions (M&A) as a strategic and commercially viable path forward. We gathered insights from SEEN Group, a leading beauty creative agency, on the advantages of acquisitions from both sides and on what defines a successful beauty brand.

A beauty retailer's new CEO noticed something disturbing on his first day: everyone arrived 10-15 minutes early, meetings started precisely on time, but no one would make eye contact or engage in conversation. The atmosphere felt rigid and fearful. A longtime employee finally explained: "Your predecessor used to sit out front on Friday mornings. If anyone was late, he'd pink slip them on the spot. He'd fire people right there in the parking lot." The previous CEO had achieved approval through fear. People showed up early and stayed quiet to avoid punishment. But that compliance-based culture started cracking the moment he left because it was built on avoiding consequences rather than pursuing shared purpose. The new CEO decided to change the experience. The next Friday, he stood in the same spot with doughnuts, juice, and coffee, greeting people with "Hi, welcome. It's good to have you on board." He started every meeting giving recognition to someone on the team. He made asking for feedback a regular practice. Slowly, beliefs shifted. People moved from "CEOs are dangerous and unpredictable" to "This leader supports us and wants us to succeed." Behavior changed naturally because the underlying beliefs changed. Approval is fast but fragile. You can get it through authority or fear, but the moment pressure is removed, compliance disappears. Alignment takes longer but lasts because it's built on understanding and commitment rather than avoidance and fear. #alignment #leadership #culturedrivesresults
