The CEW 2013 Beauty Insiders’ Choice Awards

May 2, 2013 By Leave a Comment

On March 6th, New York’s top beauty aficionados joined Cosmetic Executive Women, Inc. (CEW) for their 2013 Beauty Insiders’ Choice Awards at the Metropolitan Pavilion. RPG was proud to co-sponsor this event that brings together over 2,000 attendees to experience the latest in cosmetics, skincare, hair care, nail care, fragrance and bath and body.

Working with the concept of a shopping mall, we transformed the space using a grand window design. We arranged furniture into modern lounges, created navigational signage and drafted a floor plan for the 600 products being demonstrated.

RPG converted our own lounge area into a playful and sophisticated retail environment around our fictional cosmetic cookie line. With customized fixtures and our trademark red, we shared our innovative design style with attending industry professionals and beauty experts.

The highest honor for the most innovative products, we are thrilled to be part of CEW’s Beauty Insiders’ Choice Awards and eagerly look forward to hearing the winners announced in May.

RPG Sponsors The Fragrance Foundation’s 2013 Indie Award

May 2, 2013 By Leave a Comment

For the second year in a row, RPG was honored to be the lead sponsor for The Fragrance Foundation’s 2013 Indie Award, which celebrates indie brands for their unique and artistic fragrance launches.

The presentation was held in January as part of the Elements Showcase, an event and tradeshow for scented and design products. Curated to present the most innovative in the industry- from emerging and established brands, buyers and leaders-this two day event is unlike any other in the world of beauty.

In addition to presenting the 2013 Indie Award to Amber Oud by Kilian, CEO Bruce Teitelbaum spoke with attendees about RPG’s journey as an indie company to an industry leader:

“Twenty-one years ago, when I started RPG, we were considered a small indie company.  Design, development and manufacturing of displays fixtures and retails environments were a good match for many industry beauty and fragrance brands.  Creativity, innovation and a unique point of view were the values we lived by.  Young and hungry, possessing a strong entrepreneurial spirit, there was nothing we were afraid to try.  These values help to separate us from larger companies that were unable to think so nimbly and react so quickly to what our clients and retail partners were looking for….

Well, a lot has changed over the past 21 years. Now a global design and manufacturing firm employing 100’s of people though North America, Canada, Europe and Asia, we have grown to be leaders within our business category.  But at the same time that so much has changed, so much has remained the same.  Our core indie values are ones we have never let go off. They are the pulse and livelihood of RPG.  In today’s market place, the young creative spirit seen tonight in so many amazing brands will help to get you noticed.  As your brands grow, work hard to hold on to that spirit, it will make a world of a difference in creating longevity and a loyal following.”

With roots as an indie company, RPG is dedicated to supporting new brands as they develop in the marketplace and are honored to again be part of this special award. We congratulate Kilian on their win and cheer on all the innovators in attendance.

RPG launches Justin Bieber’s Girlfriend

September 18, 2012 By

If he was our boyfriend, we’d never let him go. RPG was thrilled to embrace Bieber Fever and partner with Give Back Brands and Elizabeth Arden on the visual displays and retail environments for Justin Bieber’s new fragrance, Girlfriend. Here at RPG, life-size cutouts kept us company as we worked with the talented team of savvy marketers to create displays that were unique and innovative. The large Justin Bieber figure featured on the floorstand is every fan’s fantasy. The display is fashioned after an actual stage and serves as a great backdrop for fans (and various RPG staff members) to take pictures “with Justin”.

Miami Shapes Up with a New Maidenform Store

May 2, 2012 By

This year, Maidenform celebrates its 90th birthday and very first flagship store, fully designed, developed and built by the team at RPG. Located in sunny – and now very shapely – Florida, Maidenform’s signature retail environment expertly captures the feminine essence and confident spirit of the brand.

Inspired by a woman’s vision of her dream walk-in closet, RPG selected the perfect touches to create a highly functional yet warm, feminine environment. We incorporated clean lines and modern, crisp materials in soft white with bursts of Maidenform’s signature pink. Slat wall offers complete flexibility and modularity of product and signage, including whimsical, contemporary graphic vignettes. Rich, elegant and highly durable flooring alternates matte and gloss to beautifully highlight the product. Strategically placed free-standing fixtures draw attention to seasonal styles and key collections.

RPG proudly partners with Maidenform, a brand that has been supporting women for 90 years!
