Emily Algar: Redefining Beauty Media in the Creator Economy
Episode 111
Monday, 6 October, 2025
In this episode, we sit down with Emily Algar, a seasoned voice in fashion and beauty media, for a conversation that pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to build (and rebuild) a creative career in an industry that’s always evolving.Emily is a stand out in the beauty creator space and we chat openly about the balance one strikes when crafting their own voice in the industry. Creators and creatives are facing a conflict of interest for their employer, when you essentially become a micro-publisher. We trace her path from breaking into publishing to navigating layoffs, and what it means to find your footing again in a space where taste, trends, and team structures are constantly shifting. Emily unpacks the human side of beauty storytelling—from the psychology driving our product choices to how consumer behaviour bends with the economy.We also get into the tension between the security of corporate roles and the draw of creative freedom, why relationships are still the industry’s strongest currency, and what emerging beauty brands need to know to cut through the noise. It’s a conversation about resilience, reinvention, and redefining success on your own terms.See you next Tuesday x
