Summary

Real talk: Why were we never taught how to buy a properly fitting bra? I know I can’t be the only one who struggles with this. Generations of women have been playing a guessing game and settling for uncomfortable products & outdated practices in an industry that - until recently - catered more toward appealing to men than serving women. This was the exact obstacle Heidi Zak, the co-founder and CEO of ThirdLove, had to overcome when she launched an innovative solution to normalize online bra shopping that skyrocketed ThirdLove to being the #1 digital bra brand among millenials. Today, we’re dissecting the case study of how ThirdLove acquired 1 million paying customers in just 3 years and which customer acquisition channels they’re doubling down on in 2022.
