NIQ to Decode Beauty Innovation: Join the Live Q&A

Innovation is notoriously difficult, with up to 90% of new brands failing to stay on the shelf past their second year in the market.

According to PopSugar, for many founders, the "why" behind a brand is what drives them to create a business in the first place — and this idea is often what keeps them motivated when faced with potential failure. "That's why industry experts agree that focusing on a product's concept and point of distinction is what sets up a beauty brand for success in the long run," per the source.

What other factors drive a brand's long-term success? We'll learn next month at the 4-day Beauty Accelerate Virtual event, where NIQ's (formerly NielsenIQ's) Anna Mayo will present on "Decoding Beauty Innovation."

This session will take a deep dive into the state of innovation in beauty, including the top launches of 2022, and the main themes that are driving innovation forward. It also will share lessons learned and case studies on how brands can identify compelling concepts, develop successful products and activate in the market to increase their long-term chances.

Attendees will come away with new insights to fuel business planning, marketing and product development.
