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.

"We’ve been really impressed by the AB testing functionality available with the Mention Me platform. It’s enabled us to test a variety of gifts and samples as rewards to find which ones resonate best with our customers"
