From start-up to star
Elevating brand awareness for an Inc. 5000 fastest-growing company
Strategic Approach
It was about seeing the company through a different “lens” per se. Not just the need to buy a pair of shades, but why these shades over the competition. It was about finding the key differentiator, the “reason to believe” we should say, and when you hit that sweet spot, that’s where you build brand advocates. For Shady Rays, it’s the charitable giving element that comes with every single order.
For every pair of shades that’s purchased in the U.S., Shady Rays donates to Feeding America and other Global FoodBanking Network partners. To date, the company has donated more than 20 million meals to fight hunger across America. Now, that’s a story writers want to write and readers want to read.
