Expect to see that same energy reflected in all of our consumer touchpoints, from packaging to social media, our site and e-newsletter. Our community will remain the core source of inspiration. That is why we held a number of focus group sessions leading up to this very moment, and why we’ll be starting an exclusive test launch with a select audience next week in the US/Canada and the week of October 18 in the UK.” Devan continued. “In addition, we are conducting multiple virtual meetings with the media to tell our story, along with a full-tiered influencer campaign set to kick off next week.”
