Join us for a live conversation with Dianna Cohen, Founder & CEO of Crown Affair, one of the fastest-growing prestige haircare brands redefining how modern brands show up and scale. Since launching in 2020, Crown Affair has built a loyal, highly engaged community and expanded into top-tier retailers like Sephora, Goop, and Violet Grey, all while maintaining a distinct point of view and brand identity.
In this session, we’ll break down how Dianna has approached marketing from day one. not as a set of channels, but as a cohesive system rooted in brand, PR, and community.
