WHO WE WORK WITH

The beauty brands we grow

A skincare brand selling online, a makeup label in national pharmacy and a grooming brand all compete for attention on the same feeds. We plan around where your products are sold and how your buyers discover them.

WHICH ONE ARE YOU?

Skincare

Routines explained, results not overpromised

Skincare buyers want to know what a product does and how to use it. We build education-led creator content and search campaigns, with claims kept accurate and supportable.

Makeup and cosmetics

Shade, texture and finish, shown on camera

Makeup sells when people see it on skin like theirs. We brief diverse creators and run TikTok and Meta campaigns that show products in real use.

Hair and body care

Everyday products with loyal buyers

Hair and body care is bought often and replaced on habit. We focus on winning the switch, then keep customers through email and subscriptions.

Men's grooming

Reaching buyers who don't browse beauty aisles

Grooming buyers often shop differently. We find them on the platforms and content they already use and keep messaging straightforward.

PROBLEMS AND FIXES

The problems we see. The Sneaky fixes we deliver.

Beauty brands live and die on creative, and the feed never stops asking for more. These are the problems beauty teams tell us about most.

Sound familiar? Let's talk

Our creator content gets likes but not sales

THE FIX

We brief creators with clear hooks, demos and calls to action, then run the best pieces as paid ads with proper testing, so content is judged on sales, not likes.

We don't own the rights to the content we paid for

THE FIX

We set usage rights, whitelisting and timeframes in every creator agreement upfront, so you can run content as ads without chasing permissions later.

We're worried our claims could get us in trouble

THE FIX

We check product claims, including words like clean and natural, against Australian Consumer Law and platform policies before anything runs.

Online sales cannibalise our retail partners

THE FIX

We plan campaigns that point buyers to where they prefer to shop, including retailer pages, so your online activity supports retail sell-through too.

Gifting season comes and goes before we're ready

THE FIX

We plan Mother's Day, Black Friday and Christmas gift sets months ahead, with creative, audiences and email lined up before demand peaks.

Too many products, not sure which to push

THE FIX

We test hero products and bundles across channels, then put budget behind the ones that bring in new customers who go on to buy the wider range.

How we work with beauty and personal care

How we grow a beauty brand

  1. 01

    Find the hero products

    We look at sales, reviews and margins to choose which products lead campaigns and which ones build the basket once a customer arrives.

  2. 02

    Brief creators properly

    We source creators who suit your brand, agree usage rights upfront and brief them with hooks and demos built for paid social.

  3. 03

    Test and scale content

    Creator and in-house content is tested across TikTok and Meta, with the winners scaled and new pieces added every month.

  4. 04

    Grow the routine

    Email, bundles and retargeting turn a first product into a full routine, with reporting across online and retail sales.

CHANNELS

Channels that grow beauty brands

All services

TikTok ads

Many beauty buyers discover products on TikTok first. Our TikTok ads agency team makes and runs native video that shows products in real use.

Instagram and Meta ads

Instagram is still where beauty brands are browsed and compared. Our Instagram advertising agency work pairs creator content with catalogue ads.

UGC and creators

Real people on camera build trust that studio shots can't. Our UGC content agency team sources, briefs and manages creators for you.

Google Ads

Buyers search by product, ingredient and concern. As your Google Ads agency, we run Search and Shopping around how they search.

Email marketing

Routines need restocking. Our email marketing agency team builds replenishment and cross-sell flows that grow lifetime value.

FAQ

Beauty brand marketing questions

Who owns the creator content you produce for us?

You do, within the usage rights we agree with each creator. We set paid usage, whitelisting and timeframes upfront so you can run the content as ads without surprises.

Can we call our products clean or natural in ads?

Only if you can back it up. The ACCC treats vague environmental and natural claims as potentially misleading, so we help you use specific, supportable wording instead.

Do sunscreen and skincare ads follow different rules?

Some do. Primary sunscreens and products making therapeutic claims fall under the TGA, while most cosmetics don't. We check which rules apply before writing claims.

Can your ads drive sales through Priceline, Sephora or Adore Beauty?

Yes. We can point campaigns to retailer product pages and plan around their sale events, so your media supports retail sell-through as well as your own store.

When should beauty brands start planning gifting campaigns?

Two to three months before the date. Gift sets, creative and audiences need to be ready before buyers start shopping for Mother's Day or Christmas.

Do you work with men's grooming brands?

Yes. We plan grooming campaigns around the platforms and creators men already follow, with straightforward messaging about what the product does.

A note from our founders
April and Brendan Ford, co-founders
April & Brendan FordCo-founders

Marketing should act like part of your commercial engine. Not a cost centre.

We started Sneaky because we were tired of watching great brands miss their potential. Campaigns that didn't convert. Data nobody tracked. Junior advice, and service that left people chasing.

So we built the agency we would want to hire. A senior team on every account, no hand-offs, and every decision measured against profit, not platforms. We'll speak your language.
