LAUNCHING A NEW HEALTH AND WELLNESS BRAND
A NEW APPROACH TO WELLNESS
THE CHALLENGE:
After founding the Sonima Foundation in 2011 to deliver health and wellness curriculum to under-served schools and communities across America, our client recognized a greater need for this type of mindful content. She wanted to create a place for people to access authentic health and wellness experiences and inspiration to help transform their mind, body, and soul, one step at a time.
OUR APPROACH:
Sonima.com is a revolutionary wellness brand and digital content destination. The website offers a selection of articles and video tutorials on topics including fitness, yoga, nutrition, and meditation. Purpose Generation worked closely with the founder to bring her mission to life. The site launched in Fall 2014 and features influencers such as Deepak Chopra, Joe Cross, and Lodro Rinzler.
