The Challenge

A premium, sleep-focused home goods brand aimed to boost visibility and conversions during a highly competitive season known for elevated consumer interest in wellness and rest. With a new product launching, they faced several hurdles:

  • Limited time for planning and publisher outreach.
  • A need to balance brand storytelling with affiliate performance tracking.
  • A non-discount model competing in a promo-heavy environment.
  • Minimal historical exposure in broadcast or mainstream channel.

The brand needed a campaign that would drive editorial coverage, product awareness, and measurable affiliate outcomes, all within a tight window.
