A luxury skincare brand redefining anti-aging routines.
A luxury skincare brand redefining anti-aging routines.
TL;DR –
Lancer, a 30-year beauty brand, was working with multiple agencies, receiving limited, fractional services. Keen reduced their costs significantly and onboarded five full-time, dedicated roles across creative, marketing, and CX to provide focused support.
Lancer, a 30-year beauty brand, was working with multiple agencies, receiving limited, fractional services. Keen reduced their costs significantly and onboarded five full-time, dedicated roles across creative, marketing, and CX to provide focused support.
Lancer was facing a major challenge - rigid scopes from multiple agencies and freelancers. When new tasks arose, they faced overage fees or had to deprioritize important work. Marketing output was underwhelming, and no agency offered a cohesive long-term strategy for growth. Lancer needed a more focused, cost-effective solution to deliver consistent results and a clear vision.

Keen began by auditing Lancer’s existing processes, gaining a deep understanding of their brand, and mapping their organizational structure. This thorough analysis allowed us to deliver a tailored solution, with a full-time, dedicated team handling creative, marketing, and customer experience.

When you have a small team, Q4 is bearing down on you, and you’re not fully prepared, it’s a nightmare. Full disclosure – that’s exactly where we were last summer. I got in touch with Keen and felt from the first call that this was our way through. And it was. The team we built with Keen kicked ass, we hit our growth numbers for the quarter, and we’re excited to keep building the team and crushing it in 2025.
