"As a female founder of an ethical fashion brand, preparing for our launch and the aftermath was overwhelming. I decided to consult with Lorraine of The Spirit of 608 to create a Marketing/PR plan for my brand, SixChel, and could not have been more pleased with the decision. Lorraine guided me to find the right media outlets, bloggers and create the best content for us. Not only was she able to assist in creating our story and writing pitches, Lorraine was also able to give the best tips on how to present myself for TV appearances and national magazine interviews. On a personal level, I feel absolutely comfortable working with Lorraine and we have been able to keep a three-year, virtual relationship strong. I owe so much of SixChel’s PR success to partnering with Lorraine and The Spirit of 608 and look forward to what we can achieve in the future.”

HEY THERE

I'm Lorraine

And I help fashion brands with a mission get visible.

I spent more than a decade writing hundreds of articles on fashion and ecommerce startups for top publications (WWD, FastCompany, San Francisco Chronicle + more) before moving on to working with startup founders and producing 230+ episodes of the Spirit of 608 podcast featuring interviews with leaders at the intersection of fashion, entrepreneurship, sustainability + tech (a space I call FEST).

 

When it comes to media, I'm not only the exact person so many brands spend countless hours and thousands of dollars per month trying to reach -- and fail -- but I'm also deeply committed to helping brands in FEST  get visible.   

 

Why? Because years of covering the industry led me to believe that the best way forward for fashion, for the workers who make our clothes, for consumers and for the planet is for more businesses in FEST to not only exist but thrive -- and, eventually, go from the exception to the norm. 

 

I'm here to help you create a media strategy that's just your style so you can grow your business, create more impact and get visible.

"Thanks to the awesome leads Lorraine helps us find, I just had an interview published. I'm doing my own social media blitz with it tomorrow, but wanted to share here first! Thanks Lorraine for everything you're doing to help us cultivate our press opportunities!!"
