L’Oréal – PPD
Creating a multi brand experience under one roof

The Event

 

Top Hair is one of Europe’s leading hair and beauty exhibitions, bringing together global brands, industry professionals and innovators.

 

L’Oréal PPD wanted to rethink its exhibition strategy. Rather than investing in multiple standalone brand spaces, the team set out to create one connected destination that would unite the Professional Products Division while making the most of the available budget.

 

Wolf & White was appointed to deliver a custom exhibition stand that brought five distinct brands together within a single immersive environment.

 

The challenge was to create a cohesive experience while allowing each brand to maintain its own identity through product displays, consultation spaces and live demonstrations.

 

Alongside the exhibition stand, L’Oréal commissioned three live mainstage shows across the two-day event.

The Solution

 

The objective was simple: create a connected visitor experience while ensuring every brand maintained a strong individual presence.

 

By bringing five brands together within one environment, the activation encouraged collaboration, improved visibility and created a more engaging experience for visitors.

 

A custom exhibition stand designed for collaboration

 

We designed a sustainable exhibition stand that balanced creativity, functionality and brand visibility.

 

At the centre of the space, a lightweight recycled metal framework created a striking architectural feature that could be seen across the exhibition floor.

 

Key stand features included:

  • Large scale L’Oréal PPD branding
  • Five dedicated brand zones
  • Consultation areas
  • Product display spaces
  • Live demonstration areas
  • Flexible activation spaces

To maintain consistency, we developed detailed design guidelines covering branding opportunities, visual principles and activation zones.

 

This gave each team the freedom to create bespoke installations while ensuring the overall environment remained cohesive and recognisably L’Oréal.

 

Bringing the mainstage to life

 

For the live event production, we developed a concept inspired by the energy and creativity of fashion week.

 

The stage became L’Oréal Fashion Week, combining avant-garde hair artistry with high fashion influences to create an engaging visual experience.

 

The production included:

  • Bespoke motion graphics
  • Dynamic event content
  • Curated soundtracks
  • Choreographed performances
  • Creative stage design

Every element was designed to strengthen audience engagement, celebrate creativity and deepen connections with the professional hair community.

 

The Results

 

Success was measured through:

  • Post event surveys
  • Client feedback
  • Social media analytics
  • Exhibition attendance data

The activation delivered strong results across engagement, visibility and audience reach.

  • 28,120 attendees scanned at the stand
  • 35% stand engagement rate
  • 91% client satisfaction score
  • 132,090 social impressions
  • 78,361 social reach

By combining strategic planning, event production, creative design and brand activation expertise, we helped L’Oréal PPD create a connected exhibition experience that stood out at one of Europe’s largest hair industry events.
