Revamp and Strengthen Influencer Campaigns for 
Inclusivity and Expertise

The objective was to reorganize and establish influencer campaigns that prioritize diversity throughout influencer partnerships and higher quality content execution in order to enhance the impact and relevance of each brand's messaging. By engaging a diverse group of influencers with expertise in their respective fields, the aim was connect with a broader and more engaged audience while maintaining authenticity and credibility.

The final product of my efforts, led to a higher reach, strong brand loyalty, and positive customer reactions. RISE Kombucha, FENTY Beauty, Laniege, Messika, and L’Occitane positively saw increases in social media interactions and lasting influencer partnerships as a result.

Case Studies



                          


Laneige – Thirst For Life with Brooke Lynn Hytes

Tasked with implementing a PR brand campaign called Thirst For Life, for the Canadian market as part of a global marketing and sales strategy for its hero moisturizer Water Bank Collection.

The fully integrated strategy included unique brand influencer partnerships, sponsored content with The Kit and a virtual watercolour masterclass experience that resulted in exceptional quality coverage across print, digital and social.

Following the Thirst for Life campaign, Water Bank media mentions increased from 10% to 35% of all traditional PR coverage and 40% of all social media coverage, accomplishing an important brand goal.

Additionally, in partnering with Brooke Lynn Hytes to help tell the story, we achieved very strong attendance, securing a 38% higher # of unique viewers for a Sephora hosted virtual event and a 54% higher attendance rate.

RISE Kombucha


The job to be done was to garner national media attention and social buzz through an education focused strategy devised to help shift perceptions of kombucha as a fringe beverage enjoyed mostly by ‘hippies’ to the beverage of choice for modern health-conscious consumers who love RISE for its fizz, flavor and functional health benefits.

Zak has been winning over hearts and minds through a series of earned media and influencer initiatives including an immersive plant tour experiences, a virtual RISE Happy Hour kombucha tasting event and on-going brand storytelling. We additionally developed experiential brand partnerships with notable wellness and nutrition expert Abbey Sharp and most recently with Master Chef Canada contestant Marissa Leon-John to bring to life the unique RISE brand story in a compelling and original way.

2020 PR Results highlights: 544 social media mentions, 136 traditional media mentions for a total of  120 mm impressions. The brand exceeded its 2020 sales goal.
