NEW YORK, Oct. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Artfully disruptive, earned-first creative agency, MMC, today announced the elevation of its Beauty business into a dedicated practice, underscoring the agency's legacy and long-standing commitment to one of its most iconic sectors. Cris Gordon, a seasoned beauty industry leader, joins the agency as Head of MMC Beauty, reporting to CEO Olga Fleming.

"Beauty has always been central to MMC's DNA," said Fleming. "We see it as a personal expression that sparks joy, and our role is to help brands tap into that emotional resonance to build lasting advocacy and communities. By elevating MMC Beauty into its own dedicated practice, we're creating a flagship destination for the industry's most creative, disruptive, and culture-defining brands, at a time when beauty is being redefined. Cris has been working with MMC for some time and is the perfect leader to nurture this vision, as she's widely regarded as one of the most intuitive and trusted experts in the field."

For over 40 years, the agency has helped shape how beauty brands earn attention, connect emotionally with consumers, and influence culture. The elevation of MMC Beauty as a standalone practice doubles down on the agency's heritage of pushing beauty beyond fleeting trends to artfully disrupt the cultural zeitgeist. MMC Beauty will house a portfolio of products from iconic mass and founder-led cosmetics, skincare, and personal care brands.

"I've always believed beauty has the power to shape how people see themselves and connect with the world around them," said Gordon. "Beauty has also become a cultural blueprint, influencing how all brands engage, build community, and show up in the world. I am thrilled to be leading MMC Beauty, at a time when consumers are shifting the narrative faster than ever, and the brands that will win are the ones that listen, engage, and evolve. My goal is to build a space where brands can artfully disrupt the narrative and build communities from the inside out to become cultural icons."

MMC Beauty will also operate as an internal beauty think tank, constantly tracking emerging trends, testing new creative approaches, and experimenting with ways to make beauty more accessible and future-forward.
