Foundation supports sustainable, clean and inclusive beauty brands, boasting a curated roster of leaders in their respective categories. It’s been a busy year for the team – which now comprises two VPs working alongside the company founders – as they opened their Brooklyn HQ while building out their LA team and internship program (now open to remote workers). It’s been an exciting year on the client front, too, as many names on their roster won a range of coveted beauty awards. Foundation’s reputation has earned them a couple of recent high-profile wins: cult-favorite brands Youth To The People and Patrick Ta Beauty. To serve these boundary-pushing brands, the agency has expanded their offering to include influencer and affiliate programs as well as digital and print content creation. In keeping up with the times, Foundation recently began offering crisis management and executive leadership PR services including social media monitoring, thought leadership training and real-time crisis support.
