Shaking up business strategy
Hindustan Unilever is also shaking things up, particularly with its marketing approach.
It recently teamed up with content creators like Facebook and Google in an effort to move away from traditional product placement.
As the online platform continues to evolve for many industries, beauty companies must adapt to retain their position as the main provider of their sector.
Bearing this in mind, Hindustan Unilever sat down with digital giants like Google as well as other sources of the media to discuss how it could "weave its brands into their content, messages and shows, instead of just product placement and brand plugs", according to The Economic Times.
Prasanth Kumar, chief executive of Unilever's media agency, Mindshare added that the consumer is no longer a passive viewer, but an active participant in the brand's story-telling journey.
"The Brand ideas and content that resonate with the audience are further seeded by them into their own circle of influence that has a far more powerful effect," he says.
