The challenge

A legacy brand in freefall.

Lottabody was a multicultural haircare icon with years of declining sales. Positioning was dated, irrelevant, and failing to resonate with its core consumer. Multiple prior relaunch attempts had failed. Even the cult favorite setting lotion, the brand's last hero product, was in significant decline. The brand had equity but no commercial momentum.

The mandate

Total brand repositioning.

As Head of Brand, led a full repositioning grounded in consumer research, competitive landscape mapping, and brand DNA analysis. The brief: rebuild desirability from the inside out. New positioning, new product architecture, new visual identity, and a modern consumer story built to scale.

The approach
01

Brand & market assessment

Competitive landscape audit, SWOT analysis, and brand DNA excavation to identify what made Lottabody irreplaceable.

02

Consumer insight & target

Primary research to identify the modern multicultural consumer: her needs, her values, and the whitespace competitors weren't owning.

03

Positioning & brand architecture

Crafted a new positioning concept, brand story, and product architecture built for modern relevance and portfolio expansion.

04

Strategy to execution

Translated positioning into product innovation, new packaging design, and ROI-driven marketing that drove viral engagement.

Results

What a well-positioned brand unlocks.

10X sales growth

Reversed years of decline and accelerated to 10X vs. pre-restage baseline.

6-year growth run

Sustained double-digit growth for six consecutive years post-relaunch.

New consumer capture

Modernized brand appeal expanded the addressable consumer base beyond legacy loyalists.

Portfolio expansion

Strong positioning unlocked new benefit spaces, growing from a single hero product to a full collection.

Premium command

Reduced reliance on promotional pricing. The brand earned its shelf position on desirability, not discounts.

Marketing ROI

Compelling, relevant brand story drove viral engagement and measurable return on marketing investment.
