HBA Global Expo Presents FIT Master's Program 2013 Capstone: Digital Analytics


The HBA Global Expo took place this year again at New York City’s Javits Center in June.  During this expo there were several seminars and classes being held by knowledgeable teachers and professionals within the industry.  One of the hottest topics was about the digital platform. Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram have changed the way brands market themselves and the way we look and see brands. Everything is at our fingertips and if it doesn’t come in a phone or tablet friendly form, we are disappointed.   

Rather than seeing digital as something for the young or trendy, now brands see it as a huge asset to increase their brand awareness and revenues.  Many brands in the beauty industry these days not only have phone and tablet ready apps to explore products but additional apps that let you try on product on a face template. Even brand owners such as Bobbi Brown or Marc Jacobs are instragramming pictures and updated about their products in real-time.    

Knowing that global marketing strategies for beauty brands is changing, FIT Master's Program focused its 2013 Capstone research on "Beauty in a Digital World".  This session investigated Digital Analytics. Are brands using digital in the best way the represents and maintains the brand positioning and image?  How do they go about using what they have learned form customers and integrate this change into their brand, and in a timely manner? Some of the other questions that the seminar sought to answer were whether or not these strategies differ from Mass to Luxury and from fashion to beauty.
