Case Study · 360° Digital Growth
A US-based contemporary leather-handbag label scaled into a recognised fashion brand - through website optimisation, editorial content, social, performance, SEO and email retention, working as one integrated engine.
Hyna is a US-based contemporary handbag label that celebrates craftsmanship, sustainability and timeless design - blending modern aesthetics with everyday functionality for urban women who want style, durability and versatility.
The mandate was a digital-first, direct-to-consumer growth engine spanning web, content, social, performance, SEO and email.
Optimize the website for seamless e-commerce and brand storytelling.
Create photoshoot content that is aspirational yet relatable for site and campaigns.
Grow social presence through curated storytelling and influencer collaborations.
Run performance marketing that balances awareness with conversions.
Strengthen SEO around handbags, leather bags and sustainable fashion.
Build email funnels for retention, loyalty and repeat purchases.
Position Hyna as a modern luxury yet accessible handbag brand - driving awareness of sustainability, craftsmanship and versatility, generating D2C sales through a digital-first strategy, and building a community of fashion-forward, eco-conscious women who resonate with the brand’s ethos.
Aspirational enough to command the price. Relatable enough to be carried every day.
Competing for attention against established fashion labels with far larger budgets.
Holding a premium look while staying reachable for the everyday urban customer.
Making conscious production a reason to buy, not just a footnote.
Building organic and owned channels so growth was not hostage to ad spend.
A holistic 360° engagement built on six integrated workstreams - each reinforcing the next, from discovery to purchase to loyalty.
Each workstream was built to perform on its own and to feed the others - turning a digital-first label into a connected brand experience.
The NYC and LA editorial aesthetic cut for the feed - a cinematic, fashion-driven reel that carries the brand's premium look into social, the same visual foundation that fed the website, the ads and every campaign after it.
The conscious-production story told at arm's length - leather, detail and the women who carry it, making sustainability and craftsmanship visible enough to justify the price point the challenge demanded.
Versatility as content - one bag styled across the everyday moments of an urban US audience, holding the aspirational-yet-accessible balance and feeding the daily storytelling that grew the community 171%.
