Emma’s experience with Avasol is a testament to the effectiveness of her network-based approach to brand marketing. Over the past two years, Emma has single-handedly built a marketing strategy for Avasol from the ground up, serving as the voice of the brand and unearthing the Avasol Story from 12 years in the making.
Through the power of strategic partnerships, Emma has capitalized on Avasol’s network and equity to build out relationships with ambassadors, creators, nonprofits and adjacent brands that have multiplied Avasol’s global reach and created an ongoing funnel of organic, professional content. Emma’s strategy continues to propel the company’s e-commerce sales, which have increased by 25% since she started.
As the brand’s Marketing, Partnerships & Social Media Manager, she has worked to continuously improve DTC & B2B sales, brand equity/awareness, site & social engagement, and a seamless customer experience. Through multi-channel marketing and web design, Emma has enhanced the information architecture of Avasol’s website according to aesthetics and SEO best practices, initiated and populated blog and email marketing for the brand, and created a cohesive social media strategy that has nearly doubled the brand’s following. Emma has brought Avasol’s social media back to life, using Instagram as a vehicle to communicate the entire user experience surrounding Avasol - framing it as so much more than just a sunscreen brand and building out a powerful network of partnerships to increase brand exposure through these network connections.
In Emma’s words:
“Just the other day I hit a milestone: 19k followers on Avasol. This made me realize how far we’ve come… without a single paid ad. I grew this brand organically, ground up. How?
I tapped into people power:
I gave the people who loved our product a platform to tell their stories.
I leveraged strategic partnerships and fostered key relationships with hundreds of nonprofits, ambassadors, creators, and adjacent brands
…to create an effortless funnel of high quality UGC, influencer promotion, and organic growth.
All this brought the brand to life, and gave it the relevance and attention it deserves in a highly saturated market. It’s shaped a collective consciousness of more mindful consumers, and supported countless organizations making our oceans safe, healthy, and accessible to all.”
