In this episode, we sit down with the incredible Lauren French, the brains behind Motto Fashions 2.0. While this Australian brand has been around for over 40 years, Lauren has successfully transformed the family business into an absolute digital powerhouse. She shares how the pandemic forced her to pivot from bricks-and-mortar stores to daily live-stream fashion shows, a move that helped the brand go on to make more than $5 million in revenue in 2021— five times more than in 2019! Lauren reveals the bold strategies behind her success, including focusing on customer acquisition over retention, leveraging hero products like the Miracle Pant, and partnering with celebrity ambassador Julia Morris.
