Client Overview

"Urban Bloom" is a fast-growing, USA-based D2C apparel brand with an annual revenue of $50M. They had built a strong brand on social media but struggled with low repeat purchase rates and increasing customer acquisition costs. They needed a way to build a deeper, more direct relationship with their customers and reduce their reliance on paid advertising.
