Strategic Brand Positioning & 360° Marketing Plan for Virgin Hills Wines

I led the strategic repositioning of Virgin Hills Wines, transforming it from a niche boutique label into a premium yet inclusive wine brand. Indian wines often face consumer skepticism, with imported brands seen as superior. My challenge was to change perceptions, expand audience reach, and position Virgin Hills as India’s premium wine brand. How I Drove Change: ✔ Repositioned the Brand Narrative – Developed a storytelling-led approach, focusing on Indian terroir, craftsmanship, and world-class quality to rival imported wines. ✔ Designed a 360° Marketing Strategy – Implemented Hero, Hub, and Hygiene content, utilizing social media, PR, and influencer collaborations to build trust and engagement. ✔ Expanded Target Audience – Shifted the focus from celebratory wine for special occasions to an everyday lifestyle choice, appealing to urban professionals, young adults, and casual wine drinkers. ✔ Executed a Multi-Channel GTM Strategy – Integrated PR outreach, influencer-led campaigns, experiential marketing, and offline activations to strengthen brand recall. ✔ Boosted Digital & Retail Presence – Enhanced social media engagement, UGC campaigns, and paid media strategies, leading to higher brand affinity and recognition. ✔ Structured a Scalable Roadmap – Developed a phased execution plan ensuring sustained audience engagement, increased sales, and long-term market penetration. Through strategic brand repositioning and a multi-channel execution plan, I helped Virgin Hills Wines establish itself as India’s leading premium wine brand, bridging the gap between local craftsmanship and global quality standards. 🚀See More

Brand Positioning & 360° Marketing Strategy for My Heeba

I led the brand transformation and market expansion for My Heeba, a vegan, cruelty-free baby care brand, by implementing a high-impact, data-driven marketing strategy. Faced with low brand awareness, weak digital presence, and tough competition from established brands, My Heeba needed a strategic shift to become a market leader in ethical baby care. How I Drove Change: ✔ Redefined Brand Positioning & Messaging – Shifted My Heeba’s narrative from just another baby care brand to a trustworthy, premium, and eco-conscious choice, ensuring it resonated with modern, value-driven parents. ✔ Revamped E-commerce & Amazon Strategy – Optimized product listings, enhanced brand content (EBC), and implemented SEO-focused strategies, leading to a higher product ranking, increased conversions, and stronger customer trust. ✔ Developed & Executed a 360° Growth Strategy – Created a Hero, Hub, and Hygiene content framework, driving awareness and engagement through social media storytelling, influencer partnerships, and PR activations. ✔ Boosted Sales & Customer Engagement – Designed a high-performing paid media strategy (Meta Ads, Google Ads, Amazon PPC) combined with offline activations (society samplings, workshops, and parent meetups), increasing brand recall and purchase intent. ✔ Created a Scalable 3-Month Execution Roadmap – Established a phased approach for sustainable brand growth, ensuring continuous audience engagement, retargeting, and long-term market penetration. Through insight-driven brand repositioning and a robust marketing execution plan, I helped My Heeba gain consumer trust, increase engagement, and scale sales—setting it apart in the highly competitive baby care market. 🚀See More
