Back of Bottle
Launching a Clean Beauty Brand with Purpose
Client: Back of Bottle
Website: www.backofbottle.com
Back of Bottle (BOB) is a sustainable, high-performance haircare line created by beauty industry pioneer Ray Civello. The brand launched with 26 clean, green products and a mission to influence beauty culture toward more environmentally conscious, results-driven choices. As part of the in-house marketing team, I was tasked with launching the brand across five Civello salon locations and building awareness both online and in-community.

Brand Launch from Scratch:
BOB had no existing consumer-facing marketing at launch.
Multi-Location Rollout:
The brand needed visibility across five Civello salons with consistent messaging and staff education.
Low Brand Awareness:
As a new line, BOB needed buzz and authentic exposure to gain traction.
Integration with Existing Campaigns:
BOB had to be seamlessly introduced into ongoing events and digital platforms.
