Scaling a Lingerie Brand to the International Market

We saved a failing luxury lingerie brand by shifting from local celebrity marketing to targeted micro-influencers and international eCommerce. By optimizing logistics and unit economics, we hit profitability in one month, selling over 100,000 units at $600 CAD globally.

Project Overview

The Challenge A premium lingerie brand had exceptional quality, celebrity endorsements, and tens of millions of music video views—but zero profitable sales. The local market couldn't support the luxury price point, leaving the business bleeding money and the founder ready to declare bankruptcy.

Our Solution We executed a complete business turnaround. We shifted marketing away from broad vanity metrics toward high-converting micro-influencers, launched international eCommerce channels to reach solvent buyers in the US, EU, and Canada, and entirely overhauled packaging and logistics to fix broken unit economics.

The Impact The brand hit profitability within 30 days, successfully established a $600 CAD price point, and scaled into an 8-year global success story with over 100,000 units sold.

Before / After

Before:

  • Revenue: Deeply unprofitable; liquidating premium inventory for under $8 CAD just to cover material costs.
  • Marketing: Chasing vanity metrics. Broad celebrity endorsements and 91M+ music video views yielded zero actual sales.
  • Market: Trapped in a local market that couldn't afford the luxury price point.
  • Operations: Expensive, hand-assembled "black diamond" boxes and inefficient shipping destroyed profit margins.
  • Status: Founder burned out, preparing for bankruptcy and closing the business.
  • After:

  • Revenue: Profitable within the first 30 days. Now selling sets at their true luxury value ($600 CAD).
  • Marketing: Targeted micro-influencer strategy built a highly loyal, purchasing community of 200,000+ subscribers.
  • Market: Successfully expanded internationally with regular, high-volume orders from the US, Canada, and Europe.
  • Operations: Completely optimized unit economics with redesigned packaging, exclusive postal rates, and in-house manufacturing.
  • Status: Over 100,000 units sold, featured on the cover of Playboy, and thriving for 8+ years.
