Symrise has established an innovative new subdivision devoted solely to social media, in correlation with the latest trends.
“You can’t study today’s consumers using yesterday’s methods,” said Dr. Dag Piper, global director, sensory and consumer sciences, Symrise, about the concept.
The company is now integrating these methods and media as a fixed component of its existing market and consumer research infrastructure.
“We can’t ignore new media and media formats when conducting consumer research. They offer us authentic, unfiltered consumer feedback—the potential here is simply immense,” said Dr. Piper.

Skin care marketer Kinerase has revamped its website, www.kinerase.com. To assist with the redesign, Kinerase enlisted the services of Lambesis, the ad agency that recently helped overhaul Kinerase’s advertising campaign.
“With the website redesign, we hope to create a more luxe, modern look in order to attract a broader demographic while at the same time creating a more user-friendly experience with such features as an easy one-page checkout and a product refinement search that allows the user to help narrow down the right products for them by benefit and skin type,” said Kinerase’s director of marketing Jennifer Smoot. “In addition, we’re aligning the look of the website with our ad campaign and promotional materials to create a new brand identity across the board.”
In addition to e-commerce, the new website will feature updated and detailed information about all of the products in the Kinerase family. Products will be divided by collection, with a section for the core products. It will also offer monthly specials to visitors, along with the opportunity to leave comments and ratings.
Future plans for the site include adding a list of local events, clinical images and a press page that will showcase Kinerase placements.
