A Whimsical Wanderlust

Navigating the Playful Path of Industry Exploration

Concept + Media Relations + Strategy

The branding and content industry exploded over the past 3 years. Women-led marketing agencies have doubled their client rosters with service-based businesses and owners. LEO+LAINE, A women-led boutique branding and content agency, wanted to move away from traditional service-based businesses and towards something different but hadn’t landed on anything that felt aligned. One of their goals: To stand out in a saturated market.

The Agency East devised a gutsy angle to pivot into the travel and beauty industry. Specifically Airbnb. Already having 2 accounts on their roster that fit the description, it was an attainable move, but change is difficult for any company to navigate during uncertainty. 

By sourcing, booking, and leveraging strategic Airbnb podcast appearances on the well-renowned podcast Vacation Home Help, the team at The Agency East generated significant results within a 60-day period, including a surge in inquiries specifically from the podcast episode and securing media coverage in esteemed platforms like American Express Business and Honeybook Blog.
