Finalists announced for digital #beauty20 Awards

Organizers of the event that recognizes beauty brands efforts on the digital platform have selected the finalists they say have significantly invested in digital marketing throughout the year.

According to Irina Kremin, a member of innoCos Events, the second annual event has received an overwhelming response to the call for nominations.

The organizer says that with a goal of getting closer to the customer, the beauty industry invests more and more in digital marketing each year.

"Brands want consumers to like & love their brand. So why don’t we ask them who they love the most? Competition like this can be the reality check for brands not investing enough on the platform. The battle is on," says Kremin.
