Benefit Cosmetics has grown from a single make up shop “The Face Place” in 1976 to a global cosmetics brand. Their growth has been fuelled by a love of the fun, tongue-in cheek approach to a sector which can often take itself too seriously.

With such loyal customers, referral marketing was an obvious way to harness this advocacy to drive new customer acquisition.
