Client Background

After six years of building a loyal following with trusted bath products and clean ingredients, family-founded Dabble & Dollop secured a national Target launch. They needed to scale their authentic brand storytelling across retail and digital touchpoints while maintaining the genuine connection that built their community.

The Challenge

How do you tell your brand story at scale without losing authenticity? With Target launch approaching, Dabble & Dollop needed to build a centralized content library, find creators who could speak to families and ingredient-conscious shoppers, and expand awareness cost-efficiently.

Key Challenge: Scaling authentic brand storytelling for national retail launch.

"For the first time in six years, we've been able to centralize campaign content, scale our voice through creators, and find a true blend of performance and storytelling."
