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!
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!
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.

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
