FEATURED CASE STUDY / MILA.VERT

Building a Brand from the Ground Up

A sustainable knitwear brand transitioning from B2B to direct-to-consumer. I led the full creative and marketing direction — from brand identity to a connected digital sales system.

The Brief

The founder had a strong product and a clear values — but no consumer-facing brand, no digital presence, and no system to acquire or retain customers online. Everything had to be built from scratch.

Creative Direction

Defined the visual identity — minimal, natural, and emotionally grounded. Built the visual language that carried through every channel: campaign photography, social content, and editorial styling.

Content Production

Developed and produced a full content library in-house — across every stage of the funnel and every format the brand needed.

  • Styling tips and editorial looks for awareness

  • New arrivals and collection launches

  • Behind-the-scenes and brand story content

  • UGC-style content produced in-house — authentic by design, not by accident

The goal was a feed and a funnel that felt human and considered at every touchpoint — not like a brand running ads, but like a brand worth following.

The System

Designed and connected all core channels into one coherent acquisition and retention system.
