So our RNC community loves biz 34 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 3: tips and they love actionable tips. Let's talk about marketing 35 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 3: because personally, my personal opinion is like you guys have 36 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 3: just nailed it with the marketing, especially the social media marketing. 37 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 3: You're welcome and so I know that I read that 38 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 3: before your product was launched, you advertised the launch three 39 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 3: months in advance. I personally I found this very interesting. 40 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 3: I'm someone who doesn't like doing things in advance. I 41 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 3: have no idea why, so I love to pick your brain. 42 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 3: Can you talk us through why you know you did 43 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 3: this aspect of a pre launch and what sort of 44 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 3: came about A buy. 45 00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 2: It for sure? 46 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: So I guess for me, I with my background being 47 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: business and marketing, I always I guess knew the way 48 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: that I wanted to introduce the brand to our community. 49 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 2: So as soon as I. 50 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 1: Conceptualized the idea, which was two and a half years 51 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 1: before launch, I checked on Instagram to make sure the 52 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: handle was available, and then from that day I actually 53 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:26,919 Speaker 1: started posting, you know, aesthetically pleasing, inspiring, emotional driven content 54 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 1: that would start to build out our community. So I 55 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: did that for about a year. I didn't post every day. 56 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 1: I wasn't super heavily engaged there because I guess I 57 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: was working on the development side and everything else along 58 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: with it. But I guess for me, definitely posting when 59 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: I could and really engaging with the ideal consumer from 60 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 1: the very early days was amazing because then each month 61 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: that I got closer to launch, I was more engaged 62 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: on the platform with the community, and you know, constantly 63 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 1: was hearing their thoughts and feedback and going, oh my goodness, 64 00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 1: like you know, what is this like? 65 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 2: You know, and it was really interesting to. 66 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: See people engage the platform that didn't even know what 67 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: the product was going to be about or what it was. 68 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: So for me, I always wanted to launch to a 69 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,280 Speaker 1: community who had an interest in what we were doing. 70 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 1: I didn't want to launch to crickets because I guess 71 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: for myself, I don't have a big social following at 72 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: the time. Banger body, you know, from the very early 73 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 1: days was so brand new didn't. 74 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 2: Also have a following. So I thought, if I was. 75 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: To you know, not have that momentum, then I was 76 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: technically technically going to be launching to crickets and I 77 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: wouldn't have any momentum. But by having I guess and 78 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 1: having grown a community over the space of two and 79 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: a half years, by the time we did launch, it 80 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 1: was you know, I think I had maybe fifty thousand 81 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:53,679 Speaker 1: followers at the time of launch, and it was amazing 82 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 1: because we you know, sold out pretty much in the 83 00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 1: first twenty four hours. I had a able to generate 84 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 1: a wait list. It was it was amazing to see 85 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: that people were so interested in the brand just by 86 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 1: the you know, inspirational images I guess, or the relevant 87 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:17,160 Speaker 1: content that we were going to communicate moving forward, and 88 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,479 Speaker 1: they were heavily interested in to see what was actually 89 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 1: going to be the product. And then a couple months 90 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,279 Speaker 1: before we did launch, that's when I started to really 91 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,479 Speaker 1: introduce what the product was going to be, you know, 92 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: using natural showing ingredients, really start to dive deeper into 93 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: what the actual product was and based on our brand ethos, 94 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 1: and really communicate heavily on that front. And then I 95 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,040 Speaker 1: guess a month out from launch or like three weeks, 96 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: that's when we really pushed it heavily in terms of, 97 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 1: you know, coming soon, sign sign up to our mailing list, 98 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: like don't miss out. I've got some exciting things to 99 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 1: share with you. And it was pretty amazing to see. 100 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: But I think it all works hand in hand, like 101 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,720 Speaker 1: you've got to have that community who is super interested 102 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,159 Speaker 1: in what you're doing. And then once you launched the 103 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 1: really nitty gritty aspects of the brand, I guess people 104 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 1: talk and people share, have you had this brand? 105 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:08,839 Speaker 2: Have you heard of this brand? It looks really cool. 106 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: They're launching a product next week, like maybe just jump 107 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 1: on and see what they're doing. And so the word 108 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 1: of mouth was growing, and then that's really what it's 109 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:19,160 Speaker 1: been like since that first moment of registering the handle 110 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 1: of Instagram and then posting amazing images that would resonate 111 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: with our community, and then from there really growing our 112 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 1: community for resonating with our ideal consumer based on a 113 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 1: skin level, which is obviously what the products is to help, 114 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:41,160 Speaker 1: you know, people with their skin. So once we launched 115 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:45,719 Speaker 1: and we had amazing results within the first twenty four hours, 116 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 1: and then that first week was pretty incredible. 117 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:49,840 Speaker 2: Those people were able to. 118 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 1: See amazing results within the first week or so. So 119 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,040 Speaker 1: from there it was like a chain reaction because they 120 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: were sending in there before and afters allowing us to 121 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 1: share there before and afters, and we're very strict on 122 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 1: as soon as the customers center before and afters, we 123 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:08,279 Speaker 1: ask permission, and therefore we just literally screenshot and then upload. 124 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 2: We don't do anything to it. 125 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 1: We want to create, we want to ensure that the 126 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 1: it's like our customer. We're sharing the product for our 127 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 1: community in order to help others, so we don't we 128 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: absolutely don't touch it. It literally screenshot and upload, and 129 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 1: from there people were also sharing their amazing results on 130 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: their own social media platforms. So really it was our 131 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 1: beautiful community who were sharing their amazing results and before 132 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 1: and after images that really started to generate that momentum. 133 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 1: And then from there it's just been absolutely amazing to 134 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: see our community grow and let everyone come together to 135 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 1: help each other. 136 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 3: That is incredible. And I think it is like epic 137 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 3: because I feel like most people these days, especially launching 138 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 3: to Instagram, feel like they do have to have some 139 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 3: sort of personal brand first and then leverage off that 140 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 3: and create, you know, the product and that sort of 141 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 3: side of things. So I think it's absolutely incredible for 142 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 3: you to like, it's really thinking outside the box and 143 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 3: just going, yeah, I want to have you know, this product, 144 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 3: and I want to do this and I don't want 145 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 3: to have the personal brand side of things. And I 146 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 3: think that is it's so different, and I yeah, like 147 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 3: I absolutely love it. 148 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 2: It's so smart. 149 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: Thank you, Yeah, because yeah, no, you go, oh that's okay.

So moon Milk was born in 215 00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:04,440 Speaker 3: twenty nineteen when I myself struggled and suffered from insomnia 216 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 3: and basically switching off at bedtime. This was in the 217 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 3: very beginning of Naked Harvest, so I had a lot 218 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 3: going on. 219 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 2: My mind was. 220 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 3: Running wild, and I really struggled to get good sleep. 221 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 3: And we know when you don't get good sleep, everything 222 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 3: else suffers. So if you don't get good sleep, you're 223 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:29,840 Speaker 3: tied during the day, you're more hungry, you're more moody, 224 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 3: you can't process things well, you can't think as well. 225 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 3: So I knew I had to get my sleep sorted. 226 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 3: I sat down with Cooper and our food tech and 227 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 3: I kind of said, guys, we have to develop a 228 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 3: product that is obviously or natural.

I'm such a sweet tooth. So we 236 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 3: also wanted to make sure it was that side of things, 237 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 3: so introducing Moon milk.

I can notice such a big difference 245 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,080 Speaker 3: of when I take it and when I don't. We've 246 00:13:56,320 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 3: just the deepness of my sleep feeling red, tossing, and 247 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 3: turning and also feeling tired before bed. I'm someone who's 248 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,839 Speaker 3: super wired most of the time, so it's so nice 249 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:13,080 Speaker 3: to have a moonmilk, sit down, watch Netflix and feel 250 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,559 Speaker 3: that wave of tiedness and go, yes, it is time 251 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 3: to sleep. So guys, there are three new flavors with 252 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 3: moon Milk. I am so excited. So the Ogi is chocolate. 253 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 3: It's everyone's favorite. The next flavor is a salted caramel. 254 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 3: We wanted to do this for the lovers of caramel. Obviously, 255 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 3: it's got a very unique, yummy flavor. If you're assaulted 256 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 3: caramel gal, that is for you. Next up is vanilla chai, 257 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 3: so this one if you're a chai person. It also 258 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 3: has like a twist of maple in there, so very 259 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 3: very sweet. And then our last flavor that is new 260 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 3: and I'm going to say it's my favorite, is Rocky Road. 261 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 3: So basically think Ogi moonmilk with a hint of lollies 262 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 3: of marshmallows. Like you literally smell it and it smells 263 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 3: like Rocky Road. I'm not like the biggest Rocky Road person, 264 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 3: but oh my god, this flavor will blow your mind. So, guys, 265 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 3: if you're not getting good sleep, if you struggle to 266 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 3: wind down, or if you just want something sweet before 267 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 3: bed that you know is going to calm your mind 268 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 3: and do really amazing things for your body and it 269 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 3: will mean that you will have a very productive next day. 270 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 3: You have to try moon milk.

You have a lot less 293 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 1: seconds to convey your message and your brand positioning, and 294 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 1: also to communicate your ethos and your values of what 295 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 1: you're trying to sell. So definitely identifying your target audience. 296 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 1: Establishing your ethos is super important. Why you are starting 297 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 1: your business, why your business is different from anything that's 298 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 1: out there, and if it's not different, why is it 299 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,159 Speaker 1: better and why do you want to do something that 300 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,359 Speaker 1: is going to create positive change is super important. So 301 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:40,679 Speaker 1: definitely establishing your ethos and your intentions behind the brand, 302 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 1: have passion. 303 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:43,440 Speaker 2: For what you're doing. 304 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,359 Speaker 1: If it is money you're going after, it is not 305 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,359 Speaker 1: going to be the business for you, absolutely, because you 306 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:54,120 Speaker 1: put everything you have into the business and it takes 307 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:55,640 Speaker 1: a lot of years before you were going to take 308 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,120 Speaker 1: a wage. In order for your business to be successful, 309 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,159 Speaker 1: you want to ensure that all the money goes back 310 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 1: into the business for the continued growth and I guess 311 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 1: new products or whatever else you're going to bring in 312 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 1: the future. So passion is going to be the main 313 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 1: driving force. There is going to be some serious challenging 314 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,399 Speaker 1: days and you're going to be sleep deprived. 315 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:15,400 Speaker 2: It is seriously like. 316 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,360 Speaker 1: A child, even worse than a child, because the business 317 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 1: doesn't sleep. 318 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 2: Children eventually sleep. 319 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,920 Speaker 1: So the way I have always seen it is looking 320 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 1: at as a child, that you know, it's your child, 321 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,439 Speaker 1: You love it, you care for it, you nurture it, 322 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 1: you want to make sure that you give it the 323 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,959 Speaker 1: best chance of you know, success in life. 324 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,120 Speaker 2: And that is the way you see it as a business. 325 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,119 Speaker 1: And also as well the very first few years, you know, 326 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 1: we're only seventeen months old, so when you know the 327 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 1: child is still trying to establish itself in a sense 328 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 1: that you know, every day you keep growing and keep evolving. 329 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 1: So from you know, birthing your business birthing your child, 330 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,119 Speaker 1: their identity is just their beautiful face, but you know, 331 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,879 Speaker 1: as it grows and evolves, their identity comes through their 332 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:59,680 Speaker 1: personality and what matters most to them. So that's definitely 333 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 1: something that I would that's helped me through the journey 334 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:07,199 Speaker 1: of the business. And also as well, prioritizing is a 335 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 1: big thing because when you're starting a business. There are 336 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 1: so many things that you have to do all at once, 337 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,919 Speaker 1: and it can get really overwhelming and stressful. So I 338 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 1: would just prioritize what is the most important things for 339 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,360 Speaker 1: the next step of the journey in your business, and 340 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 1: definitely work towards your goals one step at a time. 341 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,440 Speaker 1: Don't overload yourself, don't put pressure on yourself because it's 342 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 1: just going to take away from the excitement of the journey. 343 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 2: Because it is it is challenging. 344 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 1: So if you can definitely focus on those things, it 345 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,680 Speaker 1: definitely has helped me through my journey so far. 346 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 3: Amazing. And tell us more also, just quickly if I know, 347 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 3: we've got a bit more time left, but tell us 348 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 3: more about your kind of marketing strategy, because you guys, 349 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 3: like clearly marketing is on point, bailed it. Like I said, 350 00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 3: what does the planning process look like for you? 351 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:01,640 Speaker 2: Developing that for sure? 352 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:05,479 Speaker 1: So at the very beginning, it was definitely really our 353 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 1: customers driving the you know, of the communication through word 354 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 1: of mouth before and after is I really wanted to 355 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 1: establish a community before I proceeded with digital marketing. So 356 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:21,639 Speaker 1: for me establishing you know, our consumer identity, you know, 357 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 1: word of mouth recommendations before and after results and then 358 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:28,160 Speaker 1: ultimately using influencers as well. And we've got a very 359 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 1: strict influencer policy too that we give our products to influencers. 360 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 1: We give them a two week grace period to try 361 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 1: the product. If they love the product, we will have 362 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 1: a conversation about progressing forward. But we you know authenticity 363 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 1: and you know that genuine love for the brand. Is 364 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,159 Speaker 1: probably another reason why the brand has really resonated with 365 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 1: so many people is because no matter what the influencer 366 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,399 Speaker 1: or consumer is, we're all on the same level in 367 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,880 Speaker 1: the sense that we love the products. So for us, 368 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 1: that was really strict and has continued to be during 369 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 1: this time, Like we want to ensure that everyone is 370 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,200 Speaker 1: genuinely loving the product and it's up to them whether 371 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 1: they want to share the brand further. 372 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:11,919 Speaker 2: So definitely that was the start. 373 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 1: And then once we started to dive into digital marketing, 374 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 1: SORR I should go back. We also did email marketing 375 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 1: as well prior to digital marketing, so definitely consumer generation, 376 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:29,040 Speaker 1: influencer marketing, and email marketing. We're a top three at 377 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:32,479 Speaker 1: the very very beginning. Then we dived in digital marketing 378 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 1: six months after launch and started I guess doing Facebook ads, Instagram, 379 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 1: YouTube and that kind of thing as well, and the 380 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,640 Speaker 1: guests conveying the brand in a way that is still 381 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 1: like we would have if it wasn't on a digital scale, 382 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,959 Speaker 1: ensuring that we communicate our amazing ethos of the brand, 383 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 1: you know, what our brand is about, and also our 384 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 1: products and what they do for the skin. The way 385 00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 1: I see it is that, you know, Instagram has been 386 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:04,199 Speaker 1: a really big part of showcasing the brand as a 387 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,199 Speaker 1: whole and really the brand's identity. So Instagram has been 388 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 1: a massive factor in the business growth from the very beginning, 389 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,879 Speaker 1: and then I guess moving into digital marketing and you know, 390 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 1: growing our email marketing, which is been amazing. We have 391 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 1: a really strong community there, so everything kind of plays 392 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 1: a part. But our planning strategy is, you know, always 393 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 1: we're looking for ways to help our consumer in an 394 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,639 Speaker 1: engaging way. So you know, if someone is looking for something, 395 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 1: you know, being a bit more particular, how are we 396 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 1: going to engage our audience and hopefully you give them 397 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 1: a solution to their pain points or you know, skin 398 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 1: concerns that they have at the moment. So definitely identifying 399 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 1: the reasons for your marketing it's not just pushing content left, 400 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:50,400 Speaker 1: right and center. 401 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 2: Everything's got to. 402 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 1: Have a purpose and it's going to be a driving 403 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,880 Speaker 1: force for a positive change. So I guess yeah, for us, 404 00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:01,360 Speaker 1: our marketing is very like there's different aspects to our marketing, 405 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:05,439 Speaker 1: but definitely establishing the core reason for why we are 406 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,120 Speaker 1: pushing it because at the end of the day, there 407 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,199 Speaker 1: is so much out there, there is so much content 408 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 1: being filtered through so many different channels. 409 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:13,480 Speaker 2: How is it going to be. 410 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:18,639 Speaker 1: Purposeful to really reach our desired you know, audience, and 411 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,439 Speaker 1: how can we help them with their skin or you know, 412 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,160 Speaker 1: provide them with a sense of belonging, to provide them 413 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 1: with a sense you know, a feeling of some sort 414 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 1: that really makes them happy.
