About Base Beauty

Based in New York City, our team of seasoned beauty professionals accelerates growth for our clients across all sales channels and marketing touchpoints.

Founded over 17 years ago by beauty marketing expert Jodi Katz, the BBCA high-performance team of data-driven powerhouses prove that a totally integrated approach to marketing really works — our team breaks down client silos to craft needle-moving marketing.

Our team bridges the gaps in the traditional linear silo’d agency approach. Our team’s expertise in integrated programs allows us to synthesize individual metrics in a holistic way, informing actionable future business decisions to impact the brand’s larger business goals.

Our beauty and wellness expertise is featured in business publications like Glossy, WWD, Business of Fashion, The Washington Post and Luxury Daily.
