about

Hi, I'm Shauna — I lead brand, creative, and marketing strategy for premium consumer brands.

 

For over a decade, I've launched, relaunched, and scaled brands across luxury beauty, lifestyle, fashion, and consumer tech — working both in-house and freelance 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 creative direction, brand strategy, go-to-market planning, and social-first storytelling. My approach is rooted in understanding what makes a brand unique and translating that into brand narratives, messaging frameworks, and integrated campaigns that drive emotional connection and revenue.

I've partnered with cultural leaders including the American Music Awards, Revolve, Éliou, and DS&Durga, and led work that's driven record results, such as launches exceeding 3x revenue targets, new audience strategies delivering +20% ROI within 3 months, and marketing engines driving over 40% YoY revenue growth for multiple brands.

 

I'm open to fractional engagements, freelance projects, and select full-time opportunities.

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 opportunity is, then build the strategy around that.
     

  • Create a repeatable system for execution. Whether it's a Brand Foundation, custom personas, a content pillar system, an integrated calendar, or a go-to-market framework, I deliver systems built to last beyond our time together.
     

  • Own the creative direction. With a strong creative vision, I personally shape the visual identity, messaging, campaigns, and content that bring your brand to life.
     

  • Track what's working. Everything gets tracked so we always know what's working and where we're over- or under-indexing.

what i do

1. Brand Strategy & Positioning

Finding the emotional truth at your brand's core — positioning, messaging, voice, and competitive differentiation that guides everything else.

2. Creative Direction & Integrated Campaigns

Turning brand strategy into campaigns and cohesive design that work across every channel — social, influencer, PR, digital, retail, events, and ad creative.

3. Organic & Paid Social Strategy

Culture-forward content built around what resonates with your audience and authentically communicates your brand's differentiation.

4. Go-to-Market & Product Marketing

Turning a new launch or existing products into a differentiated, story-driven moment — from positioning and PDPs to campaign creative and channel strategy. 

5. KPI Goal-Setting & Performance Tracking

Setting the right metrics from day one and building the reporting rhythm to track them, so we always know what's working.

6. Fractional Brand & Marketing Leadership

Embedding with founders and small teams as an ongoing partner, bringing the bird's-eye view and doing the execution, without the overhead of a full-time hire.
