CASE STUDY: Duffle and Co
Here’s how we garnered a total of 281 716 impressions, 5208 post engagements and 1174 link clicks in one month for Duffle and Co.
Duffle and Co was founded by Danny and Kai in 2015.
Whilst in India, Danny became inspired by the culture, the authenticity of the people and the incredibly talented local artisans who were making remarkable products, waiting to be discovered just off the beaten track. The unfortunate reality is that many of these craftsmen were competing against large factories and sweatshops, who continue to exploit labour and use unsustainable practices to create wasteful fast fashion, which has a highly detrimental impact to local communities and the global environment.
Danny decided it was time to take a stand and give these craftsmen a helping hand, and called Kai and the two agreed to spend their savings on buying 100 bags, handmade by those local craftsmen. Thus, Duffle and Co. was born.
