Challenge
Innovating & Achieving Growth in a Competitive Market
With business expanding quickly for Southeast Asia's largest circular fashion platform, Style Theory, they needed to launch new campaigns and optimize processes to accelerate growth. To achieve this, they required specialized marketing talent that would also align with their brand philosophy and company culture.
“The digital team fuels growth for our company in this competitive market,” said Ashika Wong, Regional Manager for Brand & Content Marketing at Style Theory. “It’s imperative for us to continuously innovate to stay competitive and find hyper-growth.
”With a lean internal team setup, Ashika looked at marketing agencies but found them expensive and not specialized. Recruiters didn’t understand the fast-growing digital space and were rather slow, with less specialisation in marketing and digital talent. That’s when she reached out to Hire Digital with her talent requirements.
