Serafina’s Approach

Purple wanted to create a localized marketing initiative that would generate brand awareness and reach new audiences.

The goal was not simply to host an event, but to create a culturally relevant brand moment that extended Purple’s presence across influencer and social channels.

Rather than treating the activation as a traditional retail event, my focus was on connecting Purple’s core message around better sleep to a broader conversation around wellness and personal growth.

I developed the concept from the ground up, leading the creative direction, event strategy, influencer outreach, PR opportunities and branded experiences. The approach transformed a single event into a multi-channel brand moment designed to generate content and lasting visibility.

Results & Impact

The activation brought together 50 influencers with a cumulative following of 1.5M+, significantly expanding Purple’s reach beyond the event itself. The campaign generated 30+ Reels, 100+ Stories and three dedicated podcast episodes, creating sustained organic visibility across multiple channels.

I also secured strategic partnerships with OLLY Vitamins, local vendors and community personalities, expanding the activation’s audience while positioning Purple within the broader lifestyle space.
