BROOKLYN, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--To fuel unprecedented growth, amika, the fearless Brooklyn-born haircare brand, has appointed January Digital as its Media Agency of Record. January Digital took the reins of the media business in January to create and execute a full-funnel marketing strategy across social, video, search, and CTV, while connecting DTC, retail, wholesale, and Amazon.

The agency is charged with three core challenges: supporting bold new product launches, adding efficiency and effectiveness to marketing initiatives, and creating a unified and actionable analytics and measurement foundation.

January Digital kicked off this relationship with an integrated media campaign to support amika’s latest product innovation, Superfruit Star Lightweight Hair Styling Oil, a multi-tasking styling and treatment oil that is clinically proven to strengthen, protect, and smooth.
