Lily Cole: Body Shop’s First Ever Global Brand Advocate
LILY COLE IS BODY SHOP’S FIRST EVER GLOBAL BRAND ADVOCATE. ACTIVIST, MODEL AND ACTOR , LILY IS REFRESHINGLY HONEST, HUMAN AND UP FRONT ABOUT HOW SHE THINKS THE WORLD COULD BE A BETTER PLACE.
WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO BECOME A GLOBAL ADVOCATE
FOR THE BODY SHOP?
I have long been an advocate of the potential of using business and
consumer power to cause positive change. The Body Shop takes
a responsible attitude to people and the environment, and it feels
amazing to be supporting a brand who are pioneers in that way of
working.
HOW DO YOU FEEL THAT THE CURRENT GENERATION’S
VIEWS OF BEAUTY ARE CHANGING?
I feel like people are questioning superfi cial values and looking for real
value instead. True beauty comes from within, and I feel that more and
more people are beginning to realise that.
WHAT DOES BEAUTY WITH HEART MEAN TO YOU?
There is nothing more attractive than someone with a beautiful
heart – it just shines out. It is so contradictory to seek external beauty
through products at the cost of other living beings. To me, beauty with
heart means trying to achieve beauty in a way that is harmonious
with your inner values.
HOW HAS THE BODY SHOP INSPIRED YOU TO THINK
DIFFERENTLY ABOUT BEAUTY?
The fact that The Body Shop was selling Henna when I was growing
up defi nitely suggested that red hair was cool – before I was wise
enough to recognise that myself! There is a natural quality to
The Body Shop approach which places its emphasis on enhancing
– rather than masking people’s faces!
HOW DO YOUR PERSONAL VALUES COMPARE WITH THE FIVE
CORE VALUES OF THE BODY SHOP?
The Body Shop has fi ve distinct Values which have defi ned and
shaped it from its very beginning, and which I also identify with.
I am still learning and growing, and discovering what is important to
me is an educational and very personal process. I’m involved with
the humanitarian and environmental causes that are important to me
because I believe that our planet and the people who live on it are
incredibly special. If I can help inspire people in some small way to
think about the world they live in and how they can make it a better
place through their own personal actions and choices, then that makes
me happy. This is just one of the reasons why I am working alongside
The Body Shop.
HOW DO YOU LIVE YOUR VALUES ON A DAILY LEVEL?
My personal values boil down to my intention: the intention to
be aware, to be kind, to be honest, to make informed choices.
The intention is everything, though the reality will inevitably
sometimes fall short. No one is perfect!
WHAT INSPIRED YOUR INTEREST IN ACTIVISM?
All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do
nothing” – Edmund Burke. I used to have that quote on my bedroom
door growing up! I’m not saying I’m a good man, but I think as soon as
you are aware of injustices you have a responsibility to try and address
them… so I guess some of it is inspired by some sort of guilt complex!
HOW CAN OTHER PEOPLE GET INVOLVED?
I am still constantly trying to fi nd and know my own truth, to be
fearless. I’m not sure there is ever an end to this. Being strong enough
to stand within that position of difference and honouring your voice is
the fi rst step towards activism. I believe it’s the small steps that matter.
WHAT ELSE ARE YOU CURRENTLY WORKING ON?
I have three fi lms coming out this year, and am working on a very
exciting, fairly radical, project in the social media space.
PHILIPPINES AND CHILE WIN THE 20TH EDITION OF L’ORÉAL BRANDSTORM
Clichy, 15 June 2012 – For the second time in 20 years, the L’Oréal Brandstorm championship title was a draw between two countries – Philippines and Chile. Team Brand Up from the University of Chile and Team Eves from the University of the Philippines were crowned the Brandstorm 2012 winners out of 36 teams representing 43 countries, announced L’Oréal, the world leader in cosmetics, following the final leg of the international competition held in Paris last evening. Both the student teams walked away with the prize of a trip to a city of their choice worth €10,000. 3rd place went to Team Alemela from Austria, while Belgium, represented by Team 5th Element, earned the Best Communications Campaign Prize. The People Choice Award, a new prize voted by fans of the competing teams on Facebook, was also presented to Team Eves from the Philippines who garnered almost 13,000 “Likes” in 2 weeks.
20 years of turning ideas into products
Responding to students’ desire to gain hands-on professional experience, L’Oréal pioneered this innovative marketing competition 20 years ago which allows young talents from around the world to put themselves in the shoes of an International Brand Manager. Every year, Brandstorm challenges teams of three undergraduates to unleash their creativity to propose a product or service launch for one of L’Oréal’s 27 international brands in line with the latest market developments and trends.
For this landmark edition, teams were invited to create a new iconic product or product range for The Body Shop while respecting the brand’s values in order to reflect the Group’s commitment to ethical beauty. With digital communication becoming increasingly indispensible in today’s marketplace, one of the challenges to students was to incorporate this aspect in their strategy. A record 8,249 registrations were received this year, bringing the total number of participants to more than 60,000 from 280 partner universities around the world to date.
During this exciting 6-month journey, from the national to international level, teams get to work closely with L’Oréal executives, gaining extensive professional guidance. This year, students who made it to the finals also got to interact with a prestigious jury headed by Marc Menesguen, Executive Vice-President, Strategic Marketing, L’Oreal; Sophie Gasperment, Executive Chairman, The Body Shop; Jérome Tixier, Executive Vice-President, Human Resources, L’Oreal; Ann Massal, International Brand Director, The Body Shop and Trefor Thomas, Partner and Creative Director, Brand Advocate.
Spotting the best talents
Brandstorm is also an innovative recruitment tool for L’Oréal, allowing the Group to identify the best talents in marketing from around the world while giving students a chance to discover careers within the Group. Every year, between 150 to 200 students are recruited via Brandstorm, many of whom have gone on to have thriving careers. Examples of careers at the international level are:
– Brandstorm 2000 – Emily from Taiwan, now Brand Director for L’Oréal Professionel in Taiwan
– Brandstorm 2004 – Jaron from Singapore, now Asia Zone Marketing Manager for Matrix
– Brandstorm 2005 – Marc from France, now Global Marketing Director at L’Oréal Paris
– Brandstorm 2005 – Chi from Canada, now National Sales Director for Biotherm China
Said Marie-Dominique Jacquet, Employer Branding Director, L’Oréal, “I am deeply impressed by these students from all over the world and bravo to each and every one for having taken up the Brandstorm challenge. Through Brandstorm, we are able to spot and attract the best young talents who are the driving force behind our business. Looking forward, L’Oréal is committed to continuously developing and innovating Brandstorm in order to make it pertinent and exciting for the students. The 2013 edition will see this unique business game enter a new digital phase with the L’Oréal Paris brand.”
About L’Oréal Brandstorm:
L’Oréal remains a pioneer in innovative recruitment with Brandstorm which was launched in 1993 and encourages young people to realise their potential, develop their professional skills and discover career opportunities. The aim is to offer students from around the world a pedagogical and professional experience and the opportunity to take on the role of an International brand manager within the beauty products industry. This project is part of the L’Oréal Human Resources communication strategy and aims to enhance students’ creativity and perception of the L’Oréal business.
