In this episode of BUILDING & BREAKING, we're diving into the brand story of e.l.f. Cosmetics, the brand proving that low price doesn't have to mean low value.

  • Why value, and "best", are always in the eye of the beholder
  • How e.l.f. balances fun, creativity, and consistency without confusing their audience
  • The difference between price and perceived value, and why it matters more than ever
  • How brand story and market position shape pricing strategy for all businesses and brands, including salon owners, hairstylists, and professional beauty brands
  • The power of social listening and e.l.f.'s viral moment with Sailing with Phoenix
