Hair & beauty · Market entry · Australia

Launch strong.
Grow smart.

Hair and beauty brands, taken into new markets with care, structure and the right rooms. Independent advice, shaped by thirty-five years in the industry.

The work

Direction with
commercial instinct.

From the first market conversation to the reporting pack, every piece is connected and every recommendation is built to move.

  1. 01

    New markets

    What it actually takes to enter a country. Channels, timing, and the first year on the ground.

  2. 02

    The right rooms

    Distributors, salon groups and educators. Introductions with context, then follow-through.

  3. 03

    The room and the stage

    Sales training and education. How to hold a room without overselling the product.

  4. 04

    Someone in market

    A senior pair of hands for founders and brand managers who cannot be everywhere.

  5. 05

    How the brand looks

    Website, language and photoshoots. Keeping the house codes intact as the brand travels.

  6. 06

    A clean report

    Head office sees what moved, what did not, and where the next dollar goes.

The approach

A partnership,
in order.

  1. 01

    Listen

    The brand at home. Product, founder, numbers, ambition and capacity.

  2. 02

    Map

    Channel, competitor, education, price and a plan built for this country.

  3. 03

    Connect

    The right distributors, groups and educators — built on thirty-five years of relationships.

  4. 04

    Train

    Sales teams, educators, presenters and ambassadors who can carry the story.

  5. 05

    Report

    A clear cadence. What moved, what stalled and what to do next.

Behind the direction

Seaneen
McCrarren-Fraser

“I take brands into new countries, train the people who will carry them, and stay close enough to see what the numbers are saying.”

Thirty-five years in the hair industry — stylist, salon management, fashion, national sales, brand relations, franchising and product development.

Independent now. Senior enough for a founder, practical enough for a sales team. Comfortable on a stage, in an education room and in a reporting pack.
