Project Title
US Retail Expansion & Cultural Market Positioning
Overview
PAX is a globally recognised consumer technology brand within the vaporisation category, known for product innovation, design excellence, and premium positioning.
During a high-growth expansion phase in the United States, PAX required a structured go-to-market strategy to embed the brand within influential retail environments, music culture, and lifestyle ecosystems.
Working in collaboration with our US partner agency, we supported the national rollout across retail partnerships, cultural collaborations, PR infrastructure, and growth positioning during the company’s Series C phase.

The Project
The Challenge
As PAX scaled rapidly across the US, the brand needed to:
Establish credibility beyond traditional distribution channels
Secure high-impact retail placements in culturally influential cities
Build relevance within fashion and music communities
Develop structured national marketing and PR infrastructure

The objective was to evolve PAX from a product-led technology brand into a culturally embedded lifestyle company.
Strategic Direction
In collaboration with our US partner agency, we supported:
National go-to-market rollout planning
Retail partnership strategy and activation
Cultural and celebrity collaboration development
Experiential retail launch execution
Marketing and PR infrastructure build-out
Strategic positioning during Series C funding
Our role balanced strategic direction with implementation support across key market moments.
Retail & Go-to-Market Activation
Premium Retail Partnerships
We supported the development and rollout of placements across culturally influential retailers including:
Odin New York
Opening Ceremony NYC
Notre Chicago
American Rag Los Angeles
Art Basel Miami
These partnerships positioned PAX within premium fashion and lifestyle hubs, elevating perception beyond conventional distribution.
Odin New York Launch
We worked on the partnership from concept through launch execution, including strategic alignment, in-store activation, PR coordination, and event production oversight. The launch embedded PAX within New York’s luxury fashion retail ecosystem and generated strong cultural visibility.
Cultural & Celebrity Collaboration
The Weeknd Collaboration
In partnership with our US agency collaborators, we supported the strategic alignment and rollout of a collaboration between PAX and The Weeknd during his North American tour.
The partnership strengthened cultural positioning within music-driven audiences and elevated brand relevance among younger, trend-forward demographics.
Marketing & PR Infrastructure
As part of the expansion strategy, we contributed to the structuring of marketing and PR operations across the East and West Coast, ensuring:
National messaging alignment
Agency coordination
Influencer and tastemaker outreach
Campaign implementation consistency
This infrastructure supported rapid expansion and long-term scalability.
Growth Phase Positioning
During this period, PAX secured $46.7 million in Series C funding.
The structured retail rollout, cultural integration, and operational readiness reinforced:
Proof of retail viability
National brand relevance
Cultural embeddedness
Scalable infrastructure
This strengthened investor confidence during a pivotal funding stage.
