Challenge

Move a niche global brand into a top seller position at a Russian reseller without eroding cultural exclusivity.

Strategy

  • Barter-only, curator-led seeding — no paid partnerships.
  • Editorial creators, not reach.
  • Retail integration: on/offline traffic aimed at the reseller store.

Execution

  • 94 KOLs engaged across fashion, art and lifestyle communities.
  • 72 posts and 373 stories over six months, tightly curated.
  • Aligned launches and drops with retailer inventory and events.

Results

  • #1 best-selling brand at the reseller after six months.
  • Sustained cultural desirability with zero performance spend.

Social proof

Taste-led creator seeding.
