PORTFOLIO
PALAPA Sandals is a slow fashion, fair-trade sandal brand modernizing the classic Mexican huarache into a mindfully-made, sustainable shoe.
Project Goals
Born from a deep desire to switch things up in the fast fashion industry, Lorena, the CEO of PALAPA Sandals, kickstarted her slow fashion sandal brand and needed launch copy for her social media, advertisements, and emails.
-
Reengage her email list and grow it beyond friends and family
-
Catch the attention of sustainable fashion lovers on social media
-
Build a cohesive and beautiful social media message with pre-launch content
-
Build momentum online for the launch
Strategy
Our first step was to create a content strategy that would turn heads and gain attention online. We reviewed an existing voice and tone guide and transformed it into a 3-month pre-launch content calendar. We wrote fresh social copy, created graphics, and scheduled content 1-2 weeks in advance. The next step was to create social ads using similar content to reach top-of-funnel buyers, increase site visits, and raise brand awareness. Finally, we created several newsletters to engage friends and family who supported the brand early on while informing potential buyers and new subscribers when the launch would begin.
The Deliverable that Turned Heads
