What She Delivered

Organized a complete brand photoshoot in Paris, sourcing renowned French and British photographers Morgane and Jonny Cochrane-Lay, plus the full production team including models and makeup artists. Also produced a founder video series highlighting the science behind the brand. Handled all production logistics to create a comprehensive visual content library spanning hundreds of professional images and behind-the-scenes content.

Impact

Transformed the brand from having zero visual assets to a complete omnichannel content library supporting website, newsletters, advertising, and social media. The professional photography and video content enabled the brand to compete in the premium wellness space and effectively communicate both product benefits and brand positioning across all marketing channels.

Impact

Secured a co-branded product partnership with Jolly Mama, one of France's leading brands for women's fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum nutrition.
