Lifestyle Brand Marketing Agency for the US and Canada
Swerve Strategic Marketing is a lifestyle brand marketing agency based in Burlington, Ontario. We’ve worked with lifestyle, photo and home brands across Canada and the United States since 2010, running public relations, influencer marketing, digital marketing and events as one program.
Our current clients in the category include Swatch and Fujifilm Canada (Instax, GFX and Print Life). We also run Tineco‘s North American consumer program, and past work includes Tile, Alfred Smart Locks and Razer. Lifestyle brands sell on taste and timing, so the launch has to show up where people already look for ideas: creators, culture and the right editors.
How We Launch a Lifestyle Brand in the US and Canada
Lifestyle is bought on feel. Here’s how we make a launch feel right in both markets.
01Strategy
We map the cultural and retail calendar, the lifestyle, design and local media that matter for this brand, and the angle that earns a feature instead of a mention.
02Earned media
Our public relations team pitches lifestyle, design, fashion and local media on both sides of the border, and builds moments, from flagship openings to collaborations, that editors want to cover.
03Creators and affiliates
We match the brand to creators whose taste their audience borrows, handle contracting and content approval, and tie affiliate programs back to retail so the spend shows up in sales.
04Digital
Paid social and search aimed at the people already browsing the category, with creative built from the same story the media and creators are telling.
05Events
Openings, pop-ups and our own Scoop Media Events, where editors and creators meet the product in person.
06Reporting
Every program comes with campaign reporting, which clients tell us is the reason they renew. Digital clients get a live dashboard they can open any time, and share of voice against four competitors is available as an add-on. We won’t wait for a program to end to tell you something isn’t working.
