Glossier has taken a fresh stride in the world of community engagement by launching its G Collective on Ty Haney’s innovative platform, Try Your Best (TYB). This move sees Glossier join the ranks of other direct-to-consumer luminaries such as Dieux, Topicals, and Chillhouse on TYB, a platform designed to gamify and enrich brand communities.

The G Collective has already made history by amassing a staggering 10,000 sign-ups on its very first day, marking the largest day-one community launch in the platform's history. This overwhelming response underscores the allure and loyalty that Glossier continues to command within its fanbase. The launch isn’t just about numbers; it reflects a new way of connecting with consumers—one that intertwines brand loyalty with a sense of playful interaction.

Glossier’s collaboration with TYB allows its fans to earn Glossier coins, a form of digital currency that can be used to redeem exclusive perks. These rewards are not just transactional; they foster deeper connections between members who share similar passions for beauty and skincare. This engage-to-earn model is a novel approach, merging the spheres of membership, loyalty, and community into a seamless experience that is both fun and rewarding.

For Glossier, which has always been at the forefront of digital-first beauty, this venture is a natural evolution. By partnering with TYB, Glossier taps into a platform that not only amplifies its community but also introduces a gamified experience that feels fresh and innovative. This new model might well be the future of brand engagement, where consumers are not just buyers but active participants in a brand's narrative.

The excitement within the G Collective is palpable, and there's more to come. Speculation is rife about the release of a new eyebrow product, a category Glossier has previously dominated with its cult-favourite Boy Brow. While details are still under wraps, the anticipation is building, adding yet another layer of engagement for the community.

TYB, which also hosts communities for brands like Rare Beauty and Byoma, is carving out a niche as the go-to platform for brands that seek to build a community without the infrastructure of global giants like Adidas or Starbucks. The platform's ability to combine elements of membership, loyalty, and community into one cohesive experience is proving to be a game-changer.

As more members join the G Collective, the ripple effects are expected to extend beyond Glossier’s own community, potentially introducing members to other like-minded brands within TYB’s ecosystem. This cross-pollination of communities could be one of the most intriguing aspects of the platform’s future.

For those already inside the G Collective, the experience is proving to be both engaging and rewarding. As Glossier continues to innovate in the digital space, it will be fascinating to watch how this new community evolves and what surprises they have in store next.
