They successfully launched four new brands amidst the pandemic in order to augment declining sales from the company’s core mass color cosmetics business. The brands they launched, namely Hello Glow, Ever Organics, Spotlight Cosmetics, and Hyaloo helped EBCI sustain their operations.
Chief Marketer with a Heart
During the hard lockdown on the early part of the pandemic, EBCI was one of the few companies who continuously gave full salaries to their employees despite the halt in their business operations. Such a selfless act of sacrifice for the business owners. But they did it.
“It’s the heart to give back to the people who helped bring the company where it is now. That’s one of the reasons why I stayed on board.” Ms. Sy-Munez said.
A wife, mother, and daughter, but also the chief marketer of EBCI, Denice effectively manages her time to put balance in between.

EBCI has also continuously expanded its reach by opening over 1,000 new doors with key trade partners for all of its brands.
