The Good Glamm Group launches Good Communities in alliance with WhatsApp

The Good Glamm Group, South Asia’s largest content-creator-commerce beauty & personal care conglomerate, launches the Good Community – an omnichannel interest-based network consumers and experts. The Good Community sits seamlessly across all three existing divisions of the Good Glamm Group (Good Brands Co, Good Media Co, Good Creator Co) and augments its content-creator-commerce flywheel as the fourth strategic moat. The announcement is an industry-first move by the Group in the brand-community space defining how direct-to-consumer brands of today can be scaled via engaged communities.

The launch of Good Community as a strategic focus area for the Good Glamm Group will leverage WhatsApp Communities, a new feature launched by WhatsApp in 2022 which allows organizations to connect multiple groups under one umbrella to stay better connected and engaged. This partnership will provide the Good Glamm Group with dedicated support on WhatsApp Communities, as well as access to new tools and features which will help scale its impact across existing groups and community members. The partnership will also extend to workshops and offline events where WhatsApp and the Good Community will educate members on the benefits of  WhatsApp Communities for small businesses, interest-based groups, organizations and NGOs working on social causes.  

Commenting on the launch, Naiyya Saggi, Co-Founder, The Good Glamm Group said,  “We are very excited to unveil the Good Community as the fourth strategic moat for the Good Glamm Group. We believe that deep brand love is built when community members become organic evangelists and align closely with brand mission and purpose. Given that we now have first mover advantage in the brand community space, our vision is to scale the Good Community into the largest and most engaged omnichannel network of consumers and experts  based on shared deep interests, complementing the Good Glamm Group’s content-creator-commerce flywheel.”

Speaking of the partnership with Whatsapp, she added. “We’re excited to collaborate with WhatsApp, one of the most loved and trusted messaging apps in the country, and help further scale WhatsApp Communities by offering the 12 million transacted customers of Good Brands who are already on Whatsapp seamless migration to to Whatsapp Communities, and create deeply engaging and enriching experiences for them. With more such platforms and initiatives to follow, our aim is to provide a friction-free and engaging experience to our users ”

Talking about the partnership Vidisha Chatterjee, Director Communications India, WhatsApp, said,"We are thrilled to support the Good Glamm Group in their cause of connecting consumers, experts and brands across the ecosystem with WhatsApp Communities. Our aim with WhatsApp Communities is to make conversations easier, efficient and more impactful by helping organizations stay connected, collaborate effectively, share information, and get things done, without compromising on the privacy and security that people expect from WhatsApp. The Good Glamm Group has already built an impressive consumer base, and with their community members on WhatsApp, we look forward to helping people connect in ways that are both meaningful and important.”

The Good Community will scale online and offline networks of users and experts,  allowing them to meaningfully connect  based on shared deep interests in beauty, parenting, sexual and intimate health, wellness and sustainability. By building  large communities of organic evangelists, it aims to increase loyalty, retention and deep brand trust, and in the process develop a significant and actionable repository of first-party insights. 

The Good Community will augment and strengthen the Good Glamm Group’s content-creator-commerce flywheel by enabling organic discovery of its products across the Good Brands portfolio, including MyGlamm, The Moms Co, BabyChakra, Sirona, Organic Harvest and St Botanica.
