Handmade leather goods brand scaling creative production and paid media
Latico is a family-run leather brand (founded 1984) expanding its marketing operations through outsourced creative roles across multiple continents. The tech stack—Shopify, Klaviyo, Figma, Adobe video suite, Meta Ads—maps a direct-to-consumer playbook focused on short-form video and paid acquisition. Active hiring is concentrated in marketing (all 5 roles), signaling pressure on content velocity and ad creative; inventory and paid-performance pain points suggest the bottleneck is production speed and campaign optimization, not distribution.
Latico designs and sells handmade leather goods positioned as heirloom pieces rather than trend-driven fashion. The brand, rooted in New Jersey, operates as a small, privately held business (11–50 employees) with a direct-sales model through its own Shopify store. Marketing functions—paid ads, email (Klaviyo), social content, video—are currently the hiring priority, with roles opening in Sri Lanka, Philippines, Argentina, and Brazil. The product line emphasizes 100% leather construction and natural patina development.
Shopify for storefront, Klaviyo for email, Meta Ads for paid social, Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects for video, Figma for design, Canva for quick graphics, and Notion for operations.
Short-form video content for social (green screen, lifestyle, UGC formats), paid ad variations, carousel posts, collection page builds, and promo calendar execution—all tied to paid acquisition.
