 TARGET AUDIENCE & DISTRIBUTION

With the increasing popularity of inclusive beauty campaigns, it's clear that beauty diversity is here to stay. This series is an amazing opportunity to not only highlight the importance of diversity in beauty, but to also explore the world and uncover stories that are often overlooked by the West. It's also a great way to tap into the ever-growing women's travel market, and to provide travelers with meaningful and experiential travel experiences, which are especially important in a post-COVID-19 world. We are excited to see the stories and perspectives that this series will bring to light!

Beauty travel has been explored in other shows, but none have connected with the audience the way this series can. By delving into the lives and experiences of real women, the series will create an impactful connection with their cross-cultural counterparts and engage an audience in the beauty rituals of different cultures right here in NYC. Potential funding sources include makeup brands like Unilever and Clinique, who can provide product placement in each episode. Additionally, partnering with Refinery29, PopSugar, Unearth Women, and a travel magazine would provide a great promotional and audience base. With these resources, this series is sure to be a hit!

Our process includes diligent research, a brainstorming session for concept idea, storytelling, and production coordination.
