E.L.F. BEAUTY’s Post

Our Vice President of People Development, Kerry Preston, is a rock star in coaching excellence at e.l.f. Kerry helps our e.l.f.z unlock talent, refine skills and confront challenges head-on in each step of their journey. Today, the roles were reversed as we got to champion Kerry’s journey as she conquered her 15th marathon today in Boston. ✨   A marathon, like any long-term growth opportunity, requires: a leadership development mindset to try to tackle obstacles from new angles; a strong set of values that will help you remain committed to the hard work that goes into preparation; and, most importantly, a lot of heart. Heart is what connects the body and the soul.    Her best advice? Preparedness. To hear those words from Kerry as she was headed to line up is no surprise to any of our e.l.f.z who learn from and are inspired by this woman every day.    Kerry’s parting emoji before she crossed the starting line: 🔥   Congratulations, Kerry! You gave a new definition to e.l.f. speed today.  🏃♀️

We are expanding our partnership with professional race car driver Katherine Legge, and e.l.f. is proudly becoming the first-ever beauty brand to serve as a primary sponsor of a driver in the Indianapolis 500, the largest single-day sporting event in the world. Last year, we partnered with Katherine when she set the fastest one-lap (231.627 mph) and four-lap (231.070 mph) qualification speeds for a woman in the history of the Indy 500. It was e.l.f.ing amazing! 🏎️🏎️🏎️   As we disrupt norms, shape culture and connect communities together, we are proud to shine a spotlight (or headlight) on Katherine who is only the ninth woman to qualify and the only female driver entered in this year’s race.    “I’m honored to be back at the 500 to represent such a groundbreaking and historic effort put forward by e.l.f.,” Katherine says. “e.l.f. is truly changing the face of motorsports by lifting women up and challenging norms. … When I was nine years old, I decided I wanted to be a race car driver, and I never would have dreamed a beauty brand would one day be my primary sponsor in the Indy 500. Together with Dale Coyne Racing, Honda and e.l.f., we will truly empower women who are breaking barriers, pushing boundaries, and testing the limits by giving them the confidence and a path towards realizing their dreams, whatever they may be!”   Read more about our race to Indy here: https://lnkd.in/ejvRpxey

We are honored to share that e.l.f. Cosmetics has received our FIRST-EVER award from The Clio Awards! 🏆✨   Our true crime parody documentary "Cosmetic Criminals" was awarded bronze in the Film Craft Copywriting category.    Cosmetic Criminals was inspired by social insights from our community. We learned intergenerational cosmetic larceny, aka "e.l.f.-pinching," was an epidemic families faced nationwide. Directed by Oscar and Emmy award-nominee Alex Buono and starring Emmy award-winning producer and four time-nominated actress Niecy Nash-Betts, our film was screened in theaters ahead of Mean Girls across the country and was streamed on Amazon Freevee.   We appreciate this recognition from the Clio Awards. It propels our commitment to surprise and delight our community. The Clio Awards celebrate the power of creativity and the individuals and companies who push boundaries and redefine excellence in advertising, design, and communications. Since its inception in 1959, the Clio Awards have become one of the most respected awards programs in the industry, recognizing outstanding work across various categories including beauty, fashion, entertainment, and more.   Thank you to the Clio Awards for this incredible honor and thank you to everyone who has supported e.l.f.
