Sobre Watch and Sea Beauty
Hair care built for curls and texture
Watch and Sea is a hair care brand built for curls and texture, running its growth channel through creators on TikTok Shop.
When it joined Reacher, the affiliate program had yet to be built — no engine, no community layer, and no focused targeting.
El reto
The affiliate program had yet to be built
Watch and Sea had products and demand, but no affiliate engine, no community layer, and unfocused targeting across its catalog.
Growth depended on building outreach, nurturing, reactivation, and a creator community from a standing start.
La solución
Reacher Plus built the entire affiliate motion from scratch and focused it on the SKUs and creators most likely to drive revenue.
End-to-end setup
Built outreach, nurturing, reactivation, and a creator community from scratch — all four engines live.
Hero product focus
Shifted attention from subsidiary SKUs to three hero SKUs already driving revenue.
Competitor outreach
Targeted creators already active with competing brands in the category, then vetted each one.
Content bonus campaign
Paid creators cash bonuses for each piece of content posted against weekly goals.
