Solem

Solem, a premium microfiber towel brand based in Quebec, approached me with the goal of enhancing their brand awareness and deepening their emotional connection with their target audience: Quebecois women aged 40 to 60. The brand was already known for its practical and elegant solutions, but they needed help positioning themselves as a complice de votre quotidien—a trusted companion in everyday life.

My role was to align Solem’s marketing initiatives with their business goals, craft a compelling brand narrative, and produce high-quality content that resonates emotionally with their audience.
