Values-Driven Retail

The Ask

OTHRStore had a vision: to become the go-to platform for discovering socially conscious, culturally rich, and hard-to-find food brands—especially those led by underrepresented founders. Hierarchy partnered with them to translate that mission into a bold, modern digital presence.

The Solution

Today’s online grocery shopper isn’t just looking for convenience—they’re looking for alignment with their values, personalization, and a sense of cultural connection. We helped OTHRStore shift from transactional thinking to community-first strategy, mapping micro-communities and discovering clusters of taste, identity, and advocacy.

What We Did

  • Shopify E-commerce Build:
    Designed and built a user-centric Shopify store optimized for exploration, personalization, and conversion.

  • Audience Strategy:
    Transitioned from persona-driven thinking to community mapping, identifying clusters by taste, lifestyle, and values (e.g., vegan wellness, BIPOC-owned brands, TikTok food trends).

  • Social Media Campaigns:
    Created ongoing campaigns centered around curated discovery (Crave More) and lifestyle alignment. Included paid media (Facebook, Instagram), influencer strategy, and original creative.

  • Email & SMS Marketing:
    Developed a segmented approach to email and SMS that reflected community clusters and buying motivations—food as identity, not just function.

  • Sponsored Vendor Highlights:
    Built digital real estate for brand partners to plug in, boosting exposure through curated storytelling and promo rotation.
