Hungry to learn,
fast to try.

Rarely one right answer, so I test, learn, try again. I'd rather run the experiment than wait for the perfect plan.

Ideas shipped, not stuck in a deck.

03

Beauty × technology, exactly what Halio is.

My read · 4 ideas05 / 08

Brand awareness: a discovery and trust journey.

The U.S. beauty-tech market is huge and fast-moving, but crowded and noisy, and American shoppers don't trust easily. This category is won on real results, creators, and community, not the biggest ad budget. That gap is exactly the opening.

Results firstCreator trustCommunity loop
Glow Truck ✦ HALIO
Idea 01

Glow Truck

A pop-up that brings Halio to where U.S. customers already gather.

Idea 02

Glow Pilates

Sculpt class, then Halio LED mask facials. An LA experiential.

Idea 03

Bloom Boxes

The device as a giftable floral moment, built for PR + sharing.

Idea 04

Glow Circle

An owned community of routines + real results. A content & referral engine.

First 90 days06 / 08

Day-one plan: U.S. awareness

My first 90 days start by learning Halio from the inside out: the product promise, the founder story, the U.S. shopper, and the moments that can turn real love into visible demand.

U.S. awareness curve Turn discovery into demand
Days 1–30
Listen & map

Get close to Halio's story, product rituals, and U.S. shopper questions. Listen to customers, founders, creators, and beauty communities to find the clearest brand wedge.

01Find the sharpest audience wedge

Days 31–60
Test in public

Run creator seeding, spa and studio demos, pop-up trials, before-after storytelling, and paid social tests to see which message makes Americans curious fastest.

02Turn curiosity into first trials
Days 61–90
Scale what sticks

Turn the strongest tests into a launch plan: set up Amazon from zero, tighten the DTC page, build a retail-ready story, and make every touchpoint repeat the same Halio promise.
