Background

Background

Snowe had exceptional product quality but limited resources in a saturated DTC homeware market. The question wasn't whether we could compete — it was how to compete smartly without burning through capital.

Approach & Methodology

Approach & Methodology

Rather than trying to outbid established competitors on paid media, I designed a phased strategy around high-margin channels: press placements in key lifestyle publications, strategic affiliate partnerships, and email marketing to build owned audience. This approach established brand credibility while protecting margins, generating the traction and liquidity needed for aggressive scaling.

Building Brand Equity

Building Brand Equity

I designed Snowe's affiliate program to build credibility before scaling paid media. The strategy secured key editorial placements early on in NYT's Wirecutter, New York Magazine, Architectural Digest, The Strategist, Apartment Therapy, and ELLE — generating a 24x ROI in the first six months.

Scaling with Momentum

Scaling with Momentum

With proven returns and brand credibility established, we scaled aggressively into performance channels — paid social, search, and shopping. The editorial equity reduced customer acquisition costs and improved conversion rates, compounding our growth trajectory.
