What is The Smart Beauty Method?
At SBC, we pride ourselves on working a little differently, guided by our founder Viola's extensive experience at major marketing agencies. She witnessed firsthand the pitfalls of traditional agency models: bloated retainers, excessive communication loops, and inefficient use of creative talent. These challenges not only inflated costs but also hampered productivity, particularly for smaller brands with limited budgets.
The Problem with Traditional Marketing Agencies

Viola observed that the conventional retainer model was rife with inefficiencies. Account managers often acted as middlemen, creating a bottleneck in communication. Endless email chains and Zoom calls became the norm, stretching timelines and escalating costs. Creatives, like herself, were frequently left in limbo, waiting for feedback from clients who were overwhelmed with their own responsibilities. This sluggish process was not only frustrating but also counterproductive, leading to missed deadlines and unsatisfactory outcomes.
For smaller brands, the situation was even more dire. They couldn't afford to hire an agency full-time, yet they still needed high-quality marketing solutions. The traditional agency model simply wasn't equipped to meet their needs, leaving them underserved and struggling to keep up.
Introducing the Smart Beauty Method
In response to these challenges, our founder developed the Smart Beauty Method, a revolutionary approach to marketing that puts the client and the creative process at its core. This method involves a one or two-day immersive workshop where clients and creatives work side-by-side, fostering a collaborative and efficient environment.
The Smart Beauty Method eliminates the need for account managers and reduces the reliance on lengthy email chains and Zoom calls. Instead, clients and creatives engage in real-time collaboration, ensuring that feedback is immediate and that the creative vision is aligned from the outset. This streamlined process not only saves time but also builds a stronger rapport between the client and the creative team.
Benefits of the Smart Beauty Method
Enhanced Collaboration: By bringing clients directly into the creative process, we ensure that their vision and feedback are integrated seamlessly. This hands-on approach fosters a deeper understanding and a stronger partnership between clients and creatives.
Cost-Effective Solutions: Without the overhead of account managers and extended timelines, we can offer more affordable services. This is particularly beneficial for smaller brands that need impactful marketing without breaking the bank.
High-Quality Work: With immediate feedback and direct communication, the creative process is more efficient and effective. This leads to high-quality work that truly reflects the client's vision and needs.
Time Savings: The immersive workshop format means that clients can see results quickly. There's no need to wait for multiple rounds of revisions or extended project timelines. Clients leave the workshop with everything they need to get started, allowing them to focus on running their business.
