The Line had something rare in retail: an extremely clear point of view. Curated by stylists Vanessa Traina and Morgan Wendelborn, the brand operated at the intersection of fashion, design, and editorial storytelling. Their physical space, The Apartment, was a Soho loft where everything was for sale — a shoppable magazine come to life.
The question was how to build a sustainable digital business without compromising the aesthetic restraint and thoughtful curation that made The Line distinctive.
I grew in my role to ultimately lead The Line's digital marketing strategy during a critical period when editorial-driven retail needed to prove it could compete on performance metrics. Rather than defaulting to aggressive paid media tactics, I designed an approach that honored the brand's editorial roots while building a sustainable acquisition engine.
My approach centered on making content work harder across the funnel — from awareness through conversion — while establishing the performance marketing infrastructure needed for sustainable growth.
The results validated that content-first brands could compete on economics: we achieved a 70% lift in topline e-commerce revenue and maintained a 12x average ROAS across channels. More importantly, we proved that editorial integrity and performance marketing weren't mutually exclusive — they were complementary when executed thoughtfully.
