Navigating a Crowded Beauty Market to Build Brand Awareness
In 2019, lifestyle influencer Dani Austin opened up on YouTube about her struggles with hair loss and wigs. The overwhelming support she received inspired her to create Divi, a line of clean, science-backed hair and scalp products designed to address the root causes of hair issues.
Despite its early success, Divi faced a common challenge: How can a beauty brand stand out and generate significant buzz in an already crowded market, driving widespread reach across multiple platforms?
