Founder, Messiah & Eve

“It’s a lonely place as a sole founder, bootstrapping and a lack of industry contacts to lean on for advice or help. I found Catherine and the Constellar team at just the right time – from our first conversation I knew I had found someone that could support holistically and across the end-to-end journey of launching and scaling a brand in beauty globally – and that is something I hadn’t come across previously.

There is a huge relief knowing you are working with an experienced team who have either been through it themselves or whilst holding the hand of their clients – from brand positioning, product development, sourcing and manufacture, retail, distribution, raising capital – along with the often critical access to introductions and the right people.

Not having to manage multiple consultants working in silos brings an obvious synergy and efficiency to every conversation and outcome. Being able to lean on Catherine and the team as a sounding board to get out of my own head, apply meaningful context and industry insight has been so crucial to my journey to launch.”

"We really enjoy working with Constellar and have benefited greatly from all the retail decks/contacts/communication and merchandising. We feel better prepared for what is coming our way as our brand rapidly expands our retail footprint and sources additional investment!"

Founder, Jivana

“I met Catherine at a Beauty and Money conference in NYC in September 2019, and we began working together full-time in 2020. She and her team have helped transform my brand, website, and packaging into works of art.

They have intimate knowledge of every aspect of the beauty business: where/how to price your product; design; marketing; use of social media; timing and use of strategic ads without overspending; product placement in retail space; running financial reports; and a vast resource of networking channels. Their communication is as impeccable as their execution of promised tasks.

Catherine is extremely savvy about sticking to a budget and not spending money where/when there isn't a proper return on the investment. I could not have pulled off my rebrand without the help of Catherine and Constellar. I am eternally grateful she agreed to take Jivana as a client. Forever thankful.”

Founder, Tinge

“You truly can’t make a more strategic decision for your brand than to work with Catherine and the entire Constellar team. In a year’s time Catherine has advised us in the areas of early brand development and go-to market strategy, to pricing, logistics, and now global retail strategy.

The Constellar team is made up of individuals with a thoughtful variety of industry experience and expertise across all brand-facing verticals. Speaking from personal experience, I can guarantee they will bring so much efficiency and value to your strategy and continued success. Don’t miss the opportunity to work alongside this outstanding team of industry experts.”

“While working with the team at Constellar I felt like I was working with co-owners of my brand. They were very attentive to the brands' needs, enthusiastic with plans and ideas, and over delivered on all the deliverables. It was refreshing to work with a team with such high work ethics and passion.

What I also valued was all the information they shared about the industry and how it worked. They mentored, educated and laid down the roadmap of what I should do next for my brand. They were more like a big brother or sister who had gone down the road before you, sharing all their experience, and telling you what to do next and what to expect.

It was overwhelming to learn so much, but Constellar helped break it down to manage all the moving parts one step at at time.

They used their expertise, resources and contacts to help me reach out to suppliers and industry specialists to find the right ones that suited my needs and budget. They helped me draft the emails and ask the right questions. With Constellar I did more in the 3 months than I did in over 5 years of work on my own as a solo entrepreneur!”
