Scaling Creator-Led Growth for a Wellness Brand

Stories for Serenity, a wellness brand focused on mindfulness and goal-setting through guided journaling, partnered with me to build a structured creator marketing engine to support both brand awareness and performance marketing. I led the full influencer strategy, beginning with identifying high-fit creators aligned with the brand’s audience and values. Through a data-driven vetting process, I curated and sourced 300+ creators across lifestyle, wellness, and personal development niches. My work included: • Strategic creator sourcing and vetting • Campaign concept development and briefing • Creator outreach and relationship management • Contract negotiation and collaboration structure • UGC campaign planning to support paid and organic channels The result was a high-performing UGC content library that the brand leveraged across paid media, social, and ecommerce channels.

Chryosis, a premium curl wellness brand, partnered with me to develop a strategic influencer marketing framework to support their mission of redefining curl care through holistic hair health.

This included: • Deep audit of past creator partnerships to identify performance patterns • Audience alignment analysis, particularly with 45+ curl audiences • White space positioning for hormonal hair health and menopause-related education • Creator archetype development and partnership frameworks • Messaging strategy to reinforce the brand’s “Curl Wellness” category positioning The blueprint provided the brand with a clear roadmap for sourcing the right creators, producing educational content that resonates with their target audience, and turning creator partnerships into long-term brand authority. Impact • Identified key performance gaps in previous influencer collaborations • Developed creator frameworks aligned with hormonal hair health education • Positioned the brand to own the “Curl Wellness” category in social content • Delivered a strategic system to guide future creator partnerships and campaignsSee More
