about

Hi, I'm Shauna — a brand strategist and integrated marketing leader who turns complexity into clarity.

 

For over a decade, I've launched, relaunched, and scaled brands across luxury beauty, lifestyle, fashion, and consumer tech — working both in-house and fractionally for DTC brands like Crown Affair, Tezza, and Dermalogica, and global organizations like Philips, Coldwell Banker Global Luxury, and General Mills.

 

My work lives at the intersection of brand strategy, campaign development, and content — building not just the foundation, but the cross-channel systems that make it actionable. I've partnered with cultural leaders including the American Music Awards, Revolve, Éliou, and DS&Durga, and led work that's driven results: Crown Affair's highest-performing launch to date (3x revenue targets), a DS&Durga collaboration that hit #2 at Sephora, and 163M organic impressions from a single campaign.

 

I'm open to fractional engagements, freelance projects, and select full-time opportunities — wherever there's a brand that needs clearer thinking and sharper execution.

my approach

I work with executives, founders, studios, and agencies. I embed quickly with small teams and partner closely with leadership to bring the bird's-eye view.

 

Here's what that looks like in practice:

  • Find the thread. I synthesize your brand's inputs — insights, vision, goals, creative — into a clear through-line that makes everything else easier to execute against.
     

  • Cut through the clutter. I identify what's actually working, what's noise, and where the real opportunity is — then build the strategy around that.
     

  • Build something you can run with. Whether it's a campaign, a content framework, a launch strategy, or a system — I create work that's both strategically grounded and ready to execute.
