“We are really proud that the work we have done establishing Creativity Marketing as a centre of excellence for ESCP has been recognised by one of the world's top marketing-led companies, and we are looking forward to deepening our relationship with L'Oréal.”
“As a consumer psychologist, I have always been fascinated by the consumption of beauty products, and the emotional and psychological factors that drive it. L'Oréal is at the forefront when it comes to understanding consumers, and this new partnership will be a great opportunity to show how real-world marketing issues can benefit from the cutting-edge academic research conducted at ESCP.”
