The beauty and luxury boutique brand consultancy

Boutique Brand Consultancy created by luxury experts.

We’re a highly experienced team of beauty and luxury specialists. We relish the gargantuan end-to-end projects as much as those vital mini tasks. Just as happy driving the growth of established brands as powering the seeds of a start-up. At Flores BW, put simply, we make brands work.

We know the industry internationally and understand all aspects – from growth challenges, launches and turnarounds to new market entry within corporate, investor-led and start-up businesses. We’ve recently helped clients enter the Travel Retail industry, navigate retailer acquisition and expand globally. You name it, we’ve done it… with style!

Think of us as a “strategy” or “growth hack”.

Why? Because we develop and implement step-by-step business and brand strategies that cut to the chase and deliver on what they promise. Our primary focus is to drive sales… but we believe in balance. We know just the right buttons to press that make those figures fly, while leaving brand equity intact and respecting budgets.

Find out just how passionate we are about what we do, and in the spirit of our company where the team is family, we invite you to call us for a chat or ping us an email … the coffee’s on us!

What We Do

We’re with you all the way. It’s not just about delivering a successful strategy, we are committed to a long-term partnership and achieving your future goals. We can combine consultative conversations with key stakeholders and review specific requirements. We are able to craft authentic mission statements and company values, focusing on operational success and results which go beyond expectation.

Discover our mentoring program created for small businesses. From our work with new indie companies and smaller brands, we understand there’s a different set of needs. We can offer a helping hand to create a strategy, give guidance on future product developments, explain how to prepare for a negotiation, or just share a distribution contact. Curious yet?
