Distributed in Australia by Ozdare, Kevin Murphy partnered with Pattern to manage
its presence on Amazon Australia amid growing consumer demand and unauthorised reseller
activity.

"Given the growing influence of marketplaces in Australia, it was important for 
Kevin Murphy to establish a stronger presence where consumers are increasingly searching
for and purchasing products," explained George Leighton, Head of Retail (Consumer)
for Ozdare/Kevin Murphy. "At the same time, maintaining the balance between our 
professional salon channel and consumer retail presence remained a key priority 
throughout the process."

Launched in November 2025 ahead of the peak Black Friday Cyber Monday (BFCM) shopping
period, Kevin Murphy entered Amazon Australia with no official marketplace presence
despite significant existing consumer demand on the platform. Within just four months
of launch, the brand increased units sold by 115% quarter-on-quarter while simultaneously
increasing average order value by 8.4%, demonstrating strong consumer demand for
premium haircare products on Amazon Australia.

Pattern’s ANZ Managing Director, Merline McGregor said the results reflected a broader
shift occurring across the Australian retail landscape as premium brands increasingly
embrace marketplaces as strategic growth channels rather than viewing them as discount
environments.

"Many premium beauty and haircare brands have historically approached Amazon cautiously
because of concerns around pricing control, unauthorised sellers and protecting 
brand equity," McGregor said. "What Kevin Murphy has demonstrated is that with the
right retail media, marketplace and brand protection strategy, Amazon can become
a highly effective growth channel that complements existing retail and salon partnerships
rather than competing against them."

Kevin Murphy’s growth trajectory is significant given the brand launched during 
the peak BFCM promotional period yet continued accelerating well beyond the initial
sales surge. Strong March performance against a BFCM-boosted comparison period highlighted
that the brand’s Amazon Australia strategy was driving sustained long-term growth
rather than short-term discount-driven spikes.

Working with Pattern has helped Kevin Murphy regain greater control over its marketplace
presence and pricing environment. Since launch, Buy Box ownership increased from
65% to 91% while multiple unauthorised sellers were successfully removed from the
platform, helping to protect brand integrity.

As part of the ongoing partnership, Pattern developed and manages Kevin Murphy’s
Amazon Australia storefront, optimising all product listings and implementing a 
full-funnel advertising strategy spanning branded search, generic category discovery
and competitor targeting. By the end of the first quarter, approximately 80% of 
ad-driven sales were coming from first-time Kevin Murphy customers on Amazon Australia,
highlighting the platform’s ability to drive new customer acquisition.

"The reality is consumers are already searching for premium brands like Kevin Murphy
on marketplaces, regardless of whether those brands officially sell there or not.
What Kevin Murphy has demonstrated is that when brands take ownership of that customer
experience with the right marketplace, retail media and brand protection strategy,
Amazon can become a powerful channel for both growth and new customer acquisition,"
concluded McGregor.
