Setting the Stage for Beauty Tech
L’Oréal’s Groundbreaking CES Keynote

At CES 2024, L’Oréal made history as the first beauty brand to take the keynote stage. In partnership with their creative agency, Phenomene, and production partner, TPN, L’Oréal redefined expectations of beauty tech with a powerful, immersive 60-minute experience. TPN led the end-to-end production, overseeing content, broadcast syndication, rehearsal schedules, and onsite execution—ensuring the keynote ran seamlessly from first cue to final frame.

The Challenge

With over a decade of innovation in Beauty Tech, L’Oréal approached CES 2024 not simply to participate—but to lead. As a first-time keynote presenter at the world’s largest technology show, the brand faced unique challenges:

  • Shifting perceptions of beauty’s role within the CES ecosystem

  • Designing a story that resonated with both industry insiders and mass media

  • Coordinating across global teams, languages, and creative inputs

  • Elevating the visual and emotional impact of their message—all within the constraints of a repertory theater-style stage

L’Oréal had one shot to make a bold statement. The stakes were high, and every detail mattered.

The Results

L’Oréal’s CES 2024 keynote was a breakthrough moment:

  • Set new streaming and media engagement records for a CES keynote

  • Earned widespread industry and media coverage

  • Repositioned beauty tech as a central force within the technology conversation
