Description

Hello,

It’s nice to virtually meet you!

Please let me know if you would like to set up a discovery call to discuss the details of your project.

My name is Quincy Samycia, I specialize in working with brands in the Fashion, Beauty, Consumer Goods, and Lifestyle industries. I can assist you with all of your branding and marketing needs.

I have a team behind me, “The Branded Agency” so, I am able to not just lead the charge, but also offer all sorts on the back end. The Branded is a full-service digital marketing agency, whether you need help with your brand identity, marketing, strategy, social media, SEO, creative and so much more, we have you covered.

I’ve been personally mentored by Jeremy Hale, VP of International Development at Billabong, and Rogerio Shimizu, CEO of Osklen and Havaianas. In addition, I’ve accumulated significant experience in retail and fashion as the GM of SNFC, SGM of The Gap, and CMO and Co-Founder of Strongbody Apparel.

You are probably wondering, how did I get here?

In 2012, I started a luxury activewear company for men and women “Strongbody Apparel” with a $5,000 credit card, and over 7 years, I was able to grow the business into a multi-million dollar company. Strongbody was sold in over 200 stores globally, including 60 Equinox Fitness Clubs, HALLS department store, Century 21, Fairmont Hotels, and many others.

Our branding and (amazing) product was also given the thumbs up when we were on the TV show “Dragon’s Den.” I got 3 offers from the investors, including Joe Mimran, the founder of Club Monaco (who had never before offered a clothing company, because he knows too much about it!). That’s the offer we took if you were wondering.

I exited Strongbody Apparel in 2019, and am now helping small-medium businesses develop and grow. My passion is working with brands to develop innovative growth marketing strategies, and leveraging a small marketing budget into big returns. This is what we did with Strongbody, where we were able to leverage our ideas and outsell the massive VC backed companies.

I am strategic in creating compelling stories about the brands that people actually want to hear about. Personally, I have managed to secure hundreds of articles and backlinks for Strongbody Apparel and other companies. For example, we were featured in Bloomberg, CNBC, The Daily Mail, CBC, CTV, GQ, Women’s Running Magazine, and much more.

Creatively, I and my in-house team are experienced and really good at creating compelling marketing campaigns. We have an arsenal of photographers and graphic designers and my partner and I serve as creative directors and when it comes down to directing the photoshoots and video shoots. We have everything you need to get a cost-effective campaign launched!

Additionally, if you are looking for outside capital, I have experience with that too!
I’ve met with hundreds of VC’s and Angel investors and presented and pitched them. I can build pitch decks, data rooms, and assist businesses with raising capital.

Some of our early marketing campaigns were on Kickstarter, where just 2 of us were able to hit some pretty big goals.

As I mentioned, In early 2019, I exited the company to travel the world with my wife. After a few months of traveling, we decided to launch a full-service digital marketing company, “The Branded”.

I look forward to hearing from you and helping grow your brand.

Cheers,

Quincy Samycia
Partner at The Branded
