About BW Confidential

BW Confidential is the Paris-based international business-to-business publication for beauty executives. It's offer consists of:

-an electronic publication sent to subscribers in PDF format by email every two weeks

-four prestige print magazines, which are sent to subscribers and distributed at major international trade shows and events.

BW Confidential launched with the aim of providing serious, independent reporting and analysis for beauty executives across the globe.

At BW Confidential we believe there is a place for clear, analytical articles that go beyond the basic news reports and generalist advertising-led features so common in today’s market. Our goal to make sense of the news, delve deeper into market issues and determine what they mean for you and the industry. We aim to give you the inside view.

Our target readers are the decision-makers in the international beauty, spa and wellness industries: brand ceos, export directors, marketing managers, retail buyers, spa managers, spa operators and hotel directors.

BW Confidential’s content is supplied on a pay-for basis. At BW Confidential we believe that the free-access media model is limited when it comes to providing quality information.

Why BW Confidential?

BW Confidential was borne out of three observations:

The lack of serious media that analyse, comment and shed light on trends and issues in the beauty market internationally and in an independent spirit;
Beauty executives’ need for value-added, strategic information and tools;
The fast pace of change in the industry, spurred by globalisation, transformation of distribution models and regulatory and environmental issues.

Our team

BW Confidential is edited by Oonagh Phillips, who spent ten years covering the international beauty industry at trade magazine International Cosmetic News - ICN - and Cosmetic News.

She is seconded in the editorial department by Deputy Editor Alissa Demorest, also a specialist beauty business journalist, who spent nine years at International Cosmetic News - ICN - and CosmeticNews.

BW Confidential also boasts a network of business journalists based in key markets around the world.

Independent and specialist

All of our articles are written by specialist journalists and are driven by our readers’ needs. Companies cannot pay to be featured on BW Confidential. That's what advertising is for, and it's always labeled as such. Selling content would destroy the legitimacy and integrity of BW Confidential.
