 Launched to coincide with Avon’s 135^th birthday, ‘Watch Me Now’ is a nod to Avon’s heritage as a purpose-driven company – using the power of beauty to create opportunities for people to earn on their own terms, and support causes including domestic abuse and breast cancer for more than a century. It celebrates the success of the underdog and highlights the unexpected and underestimated aspects of the Avon brand, its people, activism, and products - for which Avon has been granted more than 750 patents and 300 awards.
