THE ORIGIN STORY
Mia, the founder of start up fashion label, Lady PWRZ, engaged SZN Social prior to their launch in March 2023 to develop a general marketing strategy and launch campaign.
Mia had strong skills in design and visual creative elements, however, this was her first foray into business and she didn't have any experience with marketing and social media from a business perspective.
She was looking for someone to develop a clear strategy to help with the launch and initial growth of the brand, as well as, a specific launch campaign to create hype and build an audience to ensure product sold once the first collection went live.
