Case Study · Full-Funnel Digital Growth
A 12-month digital growth story across SEO, performance, social, influencer and retention - for a premium, plant-based skincare and haircare brand.
August Bioscience is a premium Indian skincare and haircare brand committed to clean, plant-based formulations. Its line - shower gels, shampoos, conditioners and face cleansers - is built to deliver a luxurious, effective self-care experience.
Over twelve months, The Brand Bee ran an integrated, full-funnel programme to scale its online presence, engagement and revenue.

Clean beauty is fast-growing and fiercely contested - and the credentials that differentiate the brand are exactly the ones that are hardest to communicate in a scroll.
Educating and converting are usually at odds. The engine had to do both, at once, in five channels.
Standing out in a fast-growing, highly competitive skincare and haircare space.
Communicating clean, plant-based credentials in a way that actually converts.
Aligning SEO, paid, social, influencer and retention into one engine.
Holding a premium aesthetic while maximising efficient, measurable growth.
Five workstreams run as one integrated, full-funnel programme - compounding awareness, acquisition and loyalty across the year.
Educational content, influencer collaborations and benefit-led performance creative - built to teach and to sell.
The plant-based range styled into the feed - the always-on content layer that keeps the education compounding and carried a 140% follower climb.
The tight benefit-led cut - product, texture and result up close in eighteen seconds. The sell side of teach-and-sell, behind the 4.5x ROAS.
Person-led education for the feed - the routine explained face to camera, the influencer layer that makes clean-beauty claims believable before the ad ever asks.
Measured across acquisition, organic, community and retention - each channel lifting the next.
