Case Study

Pure Mana Hawaii, Island Skincare

Pure Mana began as a clean Hawaiian skincare line

Through strategic editorial storytelling, seasonal campaigns, and live shopping integrations, it’s becoming a global beauty brand rooted in mana and mission.

This platform gave us not just visibility — but voice. Through the brilliant creative direction, production, and design from K-Morgan, Travel Magazine Hawaii helped us tell our story in a way that has truly separated us from the competition and accelerated our sales across DTC, wholesale, retail and spa.
