The takeaways 👇
🎨 (Re)painting the brand
Wilet (formerly Flax Home) took the leap into the abyss by crafting a brand name out of thin air… literally, the word Wilet didn’t exist! But… the plot thickens. The daring band of co-founders ventured to visually encapsulate this brand-new term, and, 🥁drumroll🥁, they nailed it!
The visual identity was the missing puzzle piece that bridged the gap between their swanky new name and the brand's soul. It was like watching a rom-com, where the protagonist finally realizes they're perfect for each other. 💞
For anyone wanting to craft a brand name that’s as unique as it is fitting, take a page out of Wilet’s book. It’s scary, but as Vivian says, trusting the process is key.
🚀 Influencer launchpad
Vivian delved into the intriguing world of white labeling, where influencers play a starring role. This savvy strategy involves running your ads via influencers' accounts, effectively giving your brand a shot of adrenaline. But it’s not about randomly choosing an influencer with a mega-following; it's about finding the right influencer who vibes with your brand ethos. 💫
Sourcing an influencer is a meticulous process of aligning your brand with someone who echoes your values. You want to foster genuine connections, not just flash your logo.
💰 What Vivian would do with an extra $50K:
She would double down on amplification through genuine influencer collaborations in the 'Rest' niche. Her goal? To organically cultivate a community that resonates with Wilet’s ethos of restful living, leveraging the authentic voices of influencers to showcase the tangible, high-value impact of Wilet’s luxury linens.
