💼Executive Summary

Collection 2000 Cosmetics engaged our team to accelerate growth for its two flagship brands—HOMBRE® and COLLECTION2000®—across the U.S. and LATAM. We designed and executed an omnichannel plan that modernized the digital stack, created bilingual brand stories, leveraged AI for speed and insights, and opened doors to retail distributors. The result was a scalable go-to-market engine that increased brand visibility, improved conversion rates, and unlocked retail conversations in priority channels.

Highlights

• Rebuilt the web presence into a conversion-first brand hub in English & Spanish.
• Launched a full-funnel social strategy (Meta, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest) with creator collaborations.
• Implemented AI workflows for content, social listening, and demand forecasting.
• Prepared retail-ready sell-in materials and facilitated distributor/buyer introductions in the U.S. & LATAM.

🚀Business Objectives

1. Digital Foundation: Centralize brand storytelling, education, and conversion on a fast, mobile-first site with bilingual UX.
2. Audience Growth: Build awareness and engagement with Hispanic and mainstream consumers via culturally relevant content.
3. Velocity & Proof: Drive DTC sales and collect data to support retail sell-in.
4. Retail Access: Secure distributor interest and meetings with category buyers in key U.S. and LATAM retail formats.
5. Operating Efficiency: Use AI to accelerate content, reduce costs, and improve forecasting.

⚡Key Challenges

• Fragmented Presence: Legacy web assets were slow, non-localized, and lacked CRO best practices.
• Message Dilution: Men’s grooming (HOMBRE®) and women’s deodorants (COLLECTION2000®) needed clear, differentiated positioning but a unified parent brand.
• Limited Retail Proof: Buyers requested velocity indicators and consumer validation.
• Resource Constraints: Small marketing team needed leverage to compete with larger brands.

🔗Strategy Overview

Omnichannel, data-led, bilingual. We built a two-phase roadmap:

• Phase 1 (90 days): Foundation & traction—site relaunch, content engine, paid tests, and micro-influencer seeding.
• Phase 2 (90–180 days): Scale & retail—performance optimization, retail-ready packaging for buyers, and distributor enablement.
