Cinda B
Driving 172% Online Growth
Cyclone helped Cinda B modernize its digital marketing engine, reposition the brand for a younger audience, and build a coordinated paid, organic, email, and SMS system that accelerated e-commerce growth.
Overview
Cinda B is a casual-chic line of machine washable, water-resistant handbags, totes, travel bags, and accessories.
The company came to Cyclone with a fundamental question.
Should the brand pivot toward wholesale, or could e-commerce become a true growth engine?

The stakes became much higher.
Key factors included:

Retail disruption created urgency
The brand skewed older than desired
Digital marketing infrastructure needed modernization
The objective was clear...Prove that direct-to-consumer could scale.
Challenge

Key challenges included:
E-commerce sales needed acceleration

The pandemic disrupted retail and consumer behavior
This was not simply a campaign problem. It required rethinking the digital growth strategy for the entire company.
