Ralph reunites with paid media creative expert Lauren Schwartz for Part 2 of their deep dive into what makes beauty brand creatives truly perform. Lauren, founder of The Loft 325, unpacks how her team leverages emerging trends—like food-inspired visuals and creator authenticity—to build content that doesn’t just look pretty, but sells. From Hailey Bieber’s strawberry face trend to Halloween-ready lash looks and Cinnamon Toast Crunch-inspired lip gloss campaigns, Lauren shares real-world strategies and creative psychology that drive ROI. If you're a growth-minded entrepreneur craving tangible takeaways on trend-driven, authentic marketing that doesn’t feel like an ad, this episode is your masterclass.
