HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 28 April 2025 - Appier, a leading AI-native AdTech and MarTech company, announced its successful collaboration with L'Oréal, which was recognized at the Loyalty & Engagement Awards Hong Kong 2025 in the 'Best Use of Customer Insights/Data Analytics' category for the AI-powered transformation of SkinCeuticals' eShop. This award highlights the success of a full-funnel, data-driven strategy that delivered measurable business outcomes and set a new benchmark for AI applications in beauty e-commerce. In partnership with Omnicom Media Group (OMG) and powered by Appier's Ad Cloud and Personalization Cloud, L'Oréal significantly enhanced SkinCeuticals' marketing performance, achieving a 152% quarter-over-quarter increase in ROAS, a 400% uplift in CVR among hesitant users, and a 48% boost in total on-site revenue.

'From behavior-triggered campaigns and time-limited incentives to advanced segmentation and seamless user journeys, Appier's technology played a crucial role in turning data insights into action.' Appier's AI solutions enabled L'Oréal to strategically identify and engage high-value customer segments.
