Debra McDonough, Founder & CEO Advantage Beauty Marketing LLCI am a beauty and fashion industry veteran, career-long marketer and seller, and the founder and CEO of my 11-year-old consulting company that provides product development, marketing and business development services to beauty brands and B2B suppliers.As a problem solver and a connector, I provide real solutions to beauty clients, bringing skillfulness and experience to every aspect of the beauty business and to the company’s growing client base. I've worked on both the brand side and supplier side in the industry, in senior corporate roles and as a consultant. I have advised beauty industry suppliers on new business development; creating the brand messaging that cuts through the clutter to highlight the unique sensual experience of beauty products for the consumer. Results include opening new accounts and honing key product capabilities and outreach strategies. My corporate beauty experience includes VP marketing & product development at Cosmolab, a US private label manufacturer of cosmetic pencils and other color cosmetics, for seven years. I helped raise the profile and service level for the company and was instrumental in maintaining key customers during the sale of the company at auction, which sold to Schwan Cosmetics in 2010.At Unilever/Elizabeth Arden, I held senior marketing roles over an eight-year span on Elizabeth Arden color & skincare, Erno Laszlo skincare and fragrances including Elizabeth Arden Red Door, Chloe, Lagerfeld, and Elizabeth Taylor’s White Diamonds. I was VP/general manager for licensed luxury fragrance brands and was director of merchandising & promotion for 13 fragrance brands.CLIENTSAnomatic Corp.Beilis DevelopmentCargo CosmeticsColorVera (NY office for iColorBiotech Group Inc.
