Changing the game
Founded in 2012, The Social Life is a Collegiate and Greek Lifestyle Brand that creates clothing and apparel that champions the college experience. Recognizing an underserved and neglected market, TSL has created an entirely new collegiate marketplace that is driven by and catered to their customer's ever changing social culture.
The Challenge
After successfully launching their proprietary e-commerce platform to several campuses, TSL needed to implement a digital marketing strategy to reach and capture new customers.
