She shares lessons she learned working on some of the hottest “millennial” brands of the 2010s (Into The Gloss, Away, Outdoor Voices, Harry’s); why marketing isn’t the most important part of building a brand; the difference between hair *care* and hair styling; and why she thinks clips, scrunchies, and combs should be as elegant looking as your other accessories.  Episode recap: fatmascara.com/blog/dianna-cohen Products mentioned in this episode: shopmy.us/collections/1359696 Sponsor links & discount codes: fatmascara.com/sponsors Private Facebook Group: Fat Mascara Raising a Wand TikTok & Instagram: @fatmascara, @jenn_edit, @jessicamatlin + contributors @garrettmunce, @missjulee Submit a "Raise A Wand" product recommendation: text us or leave a voicemail at 646-481-8182 or email info@fatmascara.com
