CASE STUDY
Adapting in Real Time With a Partnerships, Talent + Influencer Marketing-Focused Strategy
SNA Communications partnered with sustainable swimwear brand SWIMINISTA to design and execute a partnerships-driven campaign leveraging talent and influencer marketing. The campaign was headlined by international model and influencer Natalia Barulich, engaging her 3.8M+ followers to generate mass brand awareness, drive traffic to SWIMINISTA.com, and create aspirational content for use across paid, owned, and earned channels.


THEIR STORY
From Rock & Republic Co-Founder Andréa Bernholtz comes SWIMINISTA: comfortable, ultra-chic swimwear made from luxury recycled fabrics, featuring adjustable fits in sizes A-DD. In an effort to give women the confidence to celebrate their own bodies while reducing the swim industry's impact on the planet, SWIMINISTA relies on high-quality fabric made from post-consumer plastics to create sexy, supportive pieces made for movement. Discover eco-conscious, designer swimwear in the SWIMINISTA online shop, along with updates on the company's efforts to give back, both globally and locally.

As the swimwear market continues to grow crowded and seasonal attention spans shorten, SWIMINISTA needed to:
-
Cut through a saturated digital space

Create elevated brand visibility with a clear eco-conscious message

Build aspirational content with global influencer cachet
