A Malaysian female-centric fitwear brand dedicated to promoting a healthy lifestyle for its female consumers was looking for a way to upgrade their entire brand strategy. Some of the company’s key challenges were rooted in their overall brand strategy and brand assets, along with a need to streamline and optimise their website. With assistance from Illuminairre, the company was ready to step up their game and appeal to a wider audience beyond the Malaysian Chinese market.
