How to stand out among millions of products.
1. You’ve carved out a niche supporting beauty, health, and wellness brands. What drew you to this space and what keeps you passionate about it?
I’ve always been drawn to beauty, health, and wellness because it’s such an accessible and relevant space. Everyone interacts with it in some way. Beyond that, it offers incredible breadth for storytelling. There are so many angles to explore, whether it is product innovation, ingredients, problem-solving, influencer collaborations, or experiential moments. Each touchpoint, whether media, influencers, KOLs, or consumers, offers a unique way to connect and create meaningful engagement. What keeps me passionate is seeing how strategic storytelling can turn these touchpoints into authentic connections that resonate and build brand loyalty over time.
2. What’s a common mistake emerging beauty or wellness brands make when trying to differentiate themselves in a crowded space?
A common misstep is lacking a clear mission and unique differentiator. Without that, brands risk creating a product portfolio that is too broad, which can dilute the story and confuse consumers. Emerging brands often try to be everything to everyone rather than focusing on what truly sets them apart. Clarity around mission and messaging is critical. It becomes the foundation for every campaign, every launch, and every interaction with your audience.
3. Beauty and wellness brands need to secure emotional connections with their consumers. What role does storytelling play in building brand loyalty in these industries?
Storytelling is absolutely essential. Consumers today are not just buying products. They are buying into a brand’s mission, values, and narrative. That thread needs to be consistent across every touchpoint, from product packaging to social media, influencer collaborations, and beyond. If your goal is to create loyalty that goes beyond a one-time sale, consistent storytelling is the bridge that transforms a consumer from a buyer into a devoted advocate.
4. With consumers wanting transparency, how can brands use PR to build trust, especially in health and wellness, where credibility is everything?
Transparency is key to building credibility. Brands can leverage PR to tell the story of their mission, share founder insights, and highlight what goes into their products, including ingredients, sourcing, and clinical validations. Introducing the people behind the brand, along with authentic reviews and testimonials, further reinforces trust. Layering these elements creates a multidimensional narrative that signals both integrity and expertise, which is critical in health and wellness.
5. Health and wellness consumers do a lot of research. How do you advise brands to maintain an authoritative voice while avoiding sounding preachy?
The key is to be authentic and focused. Brands should be clear about what their product or service solves and how they arrived at it, whether that is through research, clinicals, or ingredient sourcing. You cannot, and should not try to solve every problem for every consumer. People respect honesty and specificity. Attempting to cover too much risks sounding insincere and inauthentic.
