Contexte

Since 2019, L’Oréal and The Editorialist have built a long-term collaboration involving several of the group’s divisions: Corporate, Research & Innovation, Operations, Tech, and the L’Oréal Foundation. The key challenge: to design a world-class editorial communication strategy that reflects the group’s vision and resonates with strategic audiences globally.

OBJECTIVES

Each division was supported on its specific editorial challenges, with a focus on performance and global reach.

Corporate Division

  • Rethink the editorial structure of loreal.com, including full content writing for institutional pages (FR/EN), notably the “Our Purpose” page.
  • Provide ongoing content for the site (news, interviews with top executives, sustainability stories).
  • Create a shared editorial framework (playbook, guidelines) for all contributors, enriched with best practices from leading media outlets.

Research & Innovation

  • Produce expert content, including profiles of L’Oréal scientists and researchers, to power the monthly “In Green We Trust” newsletter focused on scientific and environmental innovation.

Supply Chain & Operations

  • Showcase expertise and supply chain professions through employee portraits, expert opinion pieces, and engaging LinkedIn formats.

L’Oréal Tech

  • Develop the thought leadership of the group’s Tech & Sustainability leadership team, notably through personal branding on LinkedIn.

L’Oréal Foundation

  • Write and design the annual press kit for the “For Women in Science” initiative, supporting the institutional visibility of the program.

Results and examples of our work

The editorial partnership with L’Oréal has enabled the rollout of a cohesive group-wide content strategy, with strong results in terms of visibility and impact.

The complete redesign of the corporate website, delivered in under nine months, was accompanied by the production of over 70 articles in French and English, spanning the group’s key institutional and reputational themes.The initiative mobilized a dedicated team of over 20 experts – journalists, editors, translators – ensuring both high quality and responsiveness.

Since 2022, this integrated approach has reached over 4 million professionals and helped position L’Oréal as a benchmark player on major topics such as sustainability and scientific innovation.
