The leading digital platform to distribute product samples
Sampler joined Founders Factory London from Canada to build their business into the leading digital sampling platform.
L’Oreal were hugely excited by the investment, on the lookout for a platform to solve their global strategic challenges around sampling. Sampler starting working with one division within L’Oreal, which quickly scaled throughout the organisation.
The deep relationships they built with L'Oreal during the programme has had long-lasting results: since 2018, Sampler have worked with L'Oreal on 25 projects in 5 countries with 10 brands, and they have signed a preferred supplier agreement globally, involving a 'Digital Product Sampling' Playbook distributed to heads of all brands, divisions and markets as a must-implement strategy.
