Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

MY ROLE:

I was hired to create a content style guide that included core brand messaging, brand phrases, product naming conventions, and content for digital offerings such as guided group cleanses, resets, and mindfulness challenges. In addition, I advised on digital marketing growth strategy, digital optimizations, and contributed creative assets and lifestyle photography.


MY CONTRIBUTION:

In auditing the brands existing user flow and content, I found there was a lack in communicating the brand difference, product offerings, and specialty as well as inconsistency in brand voice, tone, and story. So I first developed a content style guide to define the core brand message, tone, and story as well as brand phrases and taglines. I then made content strategy recommendations to create a more cohesive and clear customer experience and journey. Next, I applied the updated content strategy across all customer touchpoints, including website, email, social media, product packaging, and also renamed products and wrote product narratives.

Next, my client identified that they had strong customer retention and repeat purchasing, but struggled to grow their sales funnel. To solve this problem, we created content assets to use on their blog, Pinterest, and social channels that were free downloadable guides. We made high-value content in our area of specialty to build trust with our target customers while also collect email addresses that could then be used for email marketing and digital ad retargeting purposes.

In addition, Kaliks Collective wanted to create a scalable content product that served customers outside of their core physical skincare product line. I determined that offering guided wellness programming was both in the area of genius for the brand founder and could deepen thought leadership in the niche skincare arena where the brand wanted to expand its market share. We created a guided nutrition program that included a main program guidebook, promotional elements (email marketing and digital ads), customer support elements (daily emails, private zoom meetings, Instagram lives), and a feedback loop to collect data. The result was a success and has been duplicated by the client over 4 times since the first program was unrolled.


RESULTS:

My work helped establish the brand narrative, clarify the brand offering, and create a more cohesive and supportive customer experience. In addition, creating and launching the nutrition programs diversified the brands product offerings with a scalable product that exceeds the profit margins of all other existing products. In addition, the Kaliks Collective email list has grown by over 200% and the brand has maintained its high retention and repurchase rates, equating to increased and more stable revenue.
