The Katch — Launching Australia’s Newest Korean Beauty Hub Through Influencers2c Influencer Strategy

Marketing Consultation & Brand Discovery

The Katch, a Korean lifestyle and beauty retailer, partnered with Influencers2C to introduce their new e-commerce platform to the Australian market. During the discovery phase, we worked closely with the brand to define its identity as a curated destination connecting authentic Korean beauty innovations with Australian consumers seeking credibility, quality, and trend-driven skincare experiences. Our consultation revealed an untapped opportunity: while K-Beauty had captured global attention, Australian consumers lacked a trusted, locally accessible source that combined authenticity with an elevated shopping experience. The Katch was created to bridge that gap.

Challenge & Market Analysis

Launching into Australia’s competitive skincare market meant The Katch faced three key challenges: building brand awareness from zero, earning trust among discerning beauty enthusiasts, and positioning itself against established global labels. The target audience—women aged 20 to 35—valued transparency, aesthetics, and results. Through market analysis, we uncovered a growing demand for Korean beauty products that emphasised natural ingredients, innovation, and minimalist design. These insights shaped our campaign strategy and guided every creative decision.

Campaign Strategy Development

Influencers2C developed a multi-influencer launch campaign that prioritised storytelling, authenticity, and visual harmony. The strategy was built around relatable creators who could embody the essence of The Katch through lifestyle-driven storytelling. Collaborations were curated across micro- and mid-tier influencers on Instagram to balance credibility with reach. Each creator produced content that felt genuine, showing real skincare routines, unboxing moments, and day-in-the-life integrations, presenting The Katch as the go-to hub for Korean beauty lovers in Australia.

Goal & KPI Alignment

Our campaign objectives focused on achieving strong awareness and measurable engagement during the brand’s first week online. We aimed to generate organic reach through influencer storytelling, deliver high-quality user-generated content for long-term brand use, and maintain a consistent engagement rate above seven percent. These KPIs aligned with The Katch’s broader mission of establishing credibility and community around the brand from launch.

Content & Channel Strategy

The content direction blended aspiration with authenticity. Influencers showcased The Katch’s hero products—such as Notty Curly and and other popular K-beauty brands—through natural settings and soft-toned visuals that reflected the brand’s coastal, minimalist identity. Reels highlighted personal experiences and product benefits, while photography captured texture, colour, and quality. Every asset was designed to feel organic yet polished, consistent with the brand’s visual identity and tone.

Brand Positioning

The Katch was positioned as Australia’s gateway to premium Korean beauty, a lifestyle choice that merges simplicity, self-care, and natural confidence. Through cohesive aesthetics, influencer storytelling, and curated digital experiences, we reinforced The Katch’s brand promise: Katch it. Love it. Glow. This identity resonated strongly with the modern Australian audience seeking both authenticity and sophistication in their beauty routines.
