A head for beauty

FAIRLADY editor Suzy Brokensha and I met the wonderful Bobbi Brown team for a delicious breakfast last week.

Present was Vice-President/General Manager of Bobbi Brown for Continental Europe, Middle East, India and Africa, Marta Prieto.

The saying ‘dynamite comes in small packages’ perfectly encapsulates Marta, a dynamic, warm and super cerebral women. Having been part of the Estée Lauder group for 30 years (first with Clinique and now with Bobbi Brown) she had a wealth of knowledge to share with regards to marketing and business.

Here are a few of her quotes that inspired me:

‘It’s important to know the job you’re asking others to do.’

‘There are moments in life when a passage happens – look out for them, they can change your life.’

‘We learn from our mothers - If yours wore make-up and used skincare products, the chances are, so will you.’

‘The word NEW is one of the most powerful words.’ 

‘Engaging emotionally ensures you customers in the future.’
