CHALLENGES AND SOLUTIONS

Sebamed faced the challenge of launching in a saturated and highly regulated market, with no prior local presence. GENUINE addressed this by building a complete e-commerce ecosystem—from compliance to consumer engagement. Through fine-tuned brand messaging, targeted campaigns and agile strategy shifts based on performance data, we enabled Sebamed to grow in a way that aligns with both their values and business goals.
