Direct-to-consumer jewelry brand scaling via influencer marketing and e-commerce
PURELEI is a German jewelry brand built on social-first distribution—822K Instagram followers and 214K TikTok followers—powered by Shopify, Klaviyo, Meta, and TikTok ad platforms. The hiring mix (3 marketing leads, 1 sales role) and active projects (A/B testing, BI attribution modeling, channel performance analytics, wholesale scaling) signal a shift from pure influencer-led growth toward data-driven optimization and profitability balancing. Recent pain points around KPI-based performance and reducing operational complexity suggest they're hitting the limits of organic social reach.
PURELEI designs and sells premium waterproof jewelry pieces inspired by Hawaiian culture, with products dispatched globally from its Mannheim logistics center. Founded in 2016, the company has grown to 51–200 employees and operates primarily as a direct-to-consumer e-commerce brand, supplemented by emerging wholesale channels. Marketing and sales teams drive customer acquisition through influencer partnerships and paid social campaigns. The brand also invests in sustainability initiatives, supporting beach cleanups and environmental nonprofits.
PURELEI runs on Shopify and integrates Klaviyo for email marketing, Google Analytics 4 and BI tools for performance tracking, and Meta and TikTok for paid acquisition and influencer coordination.
PURELEI has 5 active roles focused on marketing (3 lead-level positions) and sales (1 senior role), all based in Germany. Hiring velocity is decelerating.
Active projects include A/B testing strategy, app rebuild, BI-driven attribution modeling, wholesale channel scaling, and KPI-based performance analysis to balance growth with profitability.
