Mary Kay Inc. announced the launch of its Global Social Squad (GSS) Pilot Program, an initiative connecting more than 70 Independent Beauty Consultants who show promise as emerging creators to digital education, mentorship and real-world beauty brand experience. These “dynamic digital brand advocates” and the GSS program are part of what Mary Kay calls “a strategic evolution in how Mary Kay connects with consumers and amplifies brand and product awareness, while positioning the Mary Kay business opportunity in a social-first business environment, across digital platforms, timelines and geographies.”
These next-generation social media storytellers were selected for their authenticity, creativity and social media expertise and will create engaging content as they participate in global campaign activations, share social media tips with their communities and fuel both brand relevance and business growth for the company.
“At Mary Kay, our influencers are our Independent Beauty Consultants,” said Tara Eustace, Mary Kay Chief Opportunity & Sales Officer. “In a social-first business environment, the potential to connect has never been greater. The Mary Kay Global Social Squad Program is empowering our Independent Beauty Consultants to lead in the digital space by unlocking the power of authentic storytelling and building meaningful connections with beauty lovers and budding entrepreneurs around the world.”
The GSS members represent 15 markets across Noth America, Asia Pacific, Latin America and Europe and will receive exclusive merchandise, participate in content challenges and access ongoing education and development opportunities throughout the year.
This investment in digital leadership is building what the company described as “a scalable, future-ready model that blends entrepreneurship, creativity, and personal connection.”
The company will use the pilot program to test, learn and scale, with full-scale rollout expected in 2027 and beyond.
