The MARA Company is a company that makes unique wardrobe pieces for men, taking inspiration from "cross-national design details, and others; our take of popularly counterfeited items impossible to find" (MARA website). Serving as a Marketing Assistant, we attempt to spark some life to the brand by increasing marketing efforts and channels, especially Instagram.

The Objective: Create appealing graphics and posts that help differentiate the brand from other competitors (and counterfeits), while increasing brand engagement.
Strategy: "The Inspiration Series". By telling an individual story for each limited piece created by the brand, we could create a connection that spanned beyond just buying a unique shirt. Why is the shirt unique? What makes it special? Why should anyone care? We established little story pieces, as well as elaborate galleries that attempt to show the details of the piece's journey to production. This way people are a part of a movement to buy a more authentic and unique design in a market that is flooded with countless counterfeits.
