Execution
For her to trust and try us, we had to show her we understood her – pumping up flat hair is as important picking out pumps. So we created Hairapy – solutions to help her laugh away hair and life dramas. With the uncensored voice of a “gay girlfriend,” we gave her Hairapy where she needed it most.Like shopping! Katie loves to save money – but doesn’t respond to traditional promotional tactics that bore her or require effort – no clipping coupons! So we gave her a gift card instead – just like she gets from her favorite fashion retailers.
