02 / context
the opportunity
Keys Soulcare had a distinctive philosophy and significant founder-led awareness, but needed a stronger connection between its brand meaning, priority audiences and expanding marketing ecosystem.
Content, creators, partnerships, community, affiliate, CRM and commerce were active, but not always working from one audience strategy or shared measurement framework. The opportunity was to turn the brand’s existing activity into a more focused system, one capable of building cultural relevance, audience participation and measurable commercial value.
