In this notoriously crowded space, we’ve helped companies find that singular way to cut through: from launching and scaling a beauty brand that redefined how women wore makeup, to permanently shifting the way consumers use sunscreen, to positioning pimple treatment as something that’s fun to show off.

From what we drive to how we date, from how we engage with friends to new ways of caring for our mental health—in this always-innovative category, we focus on storytelling that skillfully weaves customer education, unique product positioning, and founder credibility in order to build trust and excitement with our intended audiences.

Many first came to know us through our work with radical innovators in the fashion space. The stories we helped tell then and since—around transparency, sustainability, size inclusivity, product innovation, and so much more—have permanently changed how people shop.

Our taste for this category has pushed us into exciting territory: like making soft-serve the hottest thing to hit social media and the streets, coining entirely new categories (post-organic farming), and helping industry innovators—ones who have changed what and how we eat—become household names.

This category has exploded in the last decade and we’ve been there to spark some of its most interesting cultural conversations. We’ve helped brands educate customers around sketchy ingredients in feminine care, normalize the conversation around hair loss, change how we think about emergency contraception, and entirely reimagine dental care.

Relevancy has been the name of the game here, whether successfully launching new players into a crowded space or helping tenured brands stay on top: like helping a kid-sister brand become a design-forward powerhouse through partnerships, and reinvigorating a beloved retailer in need of a pivot for its next chapter.

We’ve supported both big institutions through pivotal transitions and helped newer venture firms develop the kind of differentiated positioning that enabled them to become leaders in the space. We’ve also positioned and branded key portfolio clients, haloing back to the firm in the process.
