Designer apparel brand with vertically integrated Los Angeles manufacturing
Cotton Citizen operates a ready-to-wear label with in-house design, production, and e-commerce. The tech stack is retail-focused (Shopify, Klaviyo, Gorgias, Attentive, PostScript) with heavy social and performance-marketing investment across Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, and Meta. Active projects emphasize community engagement—in-store events, influencer partnerships, celebrity gifting—alongside conversion optimization (mobile friction is a documented pain point) and email/SMS automation, suggesting a shift toward owned-channel revenue.
