01 / The brief

A small-batch candle maker with a gorgeous gothic-romantic product — scents named for heartbreak, moon phases, and villain eras — and a grid that read like a hobby account. The candles whispered dark academia; the feed said craft fair table.

02 / What we did

We set a visual direction — ink-black backdrops, gold foil accents, a serif with a flair for the dramatic — then built reusable carousel and story templates so every scent launch looks like part of the same coven. Wrap it in a content plan they can actually keep lit, and the grid finally matches the wax.

  • Visual style board
  • Carousel post templates
  • Story format guides
  • 30-day feed plan

“For the first time, the feed looks like the candles. People take us seriously now — and it shows in what they’re willing to pay.”
