Our Story
Social Luxe Agency was created with a simple belief: small businesses deserve access to the same opportunities for brand visibility and growth as large corporations.
What began as a passion for marketing, community, and entrepreneurship has grown into an agency dedicated to helping founders step into the world of influencer marketing through thoughtful strategy and curated brand activations.
Where It All Began
Hi, I’m Kas!
I was born and raised in Hawai‘i, where I was constantly surrounded by locally and family-owned businesses. Growing up in this environment shaped the way I see entrepreneurship and is the reason why supporting small businesses became the foundation of my career.
Watching founders build something meaningful for their communities inspired me from a young age and ultimately led me toward the world of marketing.
I’ve always been passionate about marketing and brand storytelling. I graduated from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas in 2021 with a Bachelor’s degree in Marketing.
After graduating, I moved back to Hawai‘i and began my career as a social media manager supporting local businesses. During this time, I worked closely with founders to help them communicate their brand more clearly online and reach new audiences.
I continued working in this field after moving to New York, where my career eventually expanded into the event industry in 2023.
Discovering a Passion for Marketing
Moving to New York was an exciting opportunity, but it was also a huge adjustment. Even after a year in the city, I still felt like there was a part of me missing.
Family, connection, and community have always been a huge part of my identity. That realization led me to create Social Luxe Club in 2023, a space designed to bring small business owners together to connect, share experiences, and support one another.
A New Chapter in New York
While building Social Luxe Club and working closely with small business founders, I was also actively pursuing content creation and collaborating with brands as a creator.
Through this experience, I was regularly invited to influencer brand events and product launches across New York. These events were incredible opportunities for creators to discover new brands, build relationships, and share experiences with their audiences.
But something quickly became clear.
The brands hosting these events were almost always large corporations with significant marketing budgets. Influencer events and brand activations were a natural part of marketing for big brands, but for small businesses, they often felt completely out of reach.
That gap is what led to the creation of Social Luxe Agency.
A Gap in the Industry
The Beginning of Social Luxe Agency
Social Luxe Agency was founded to help small businesses step into the world of influencer marketing through thoughtfully curated brand activations and strategic guidance.
By combining marketing insight, influencer relationships, and experiential events, we help founders introduce their brands to new audiences and create meaningful momentum for their businesses.
Where We Are Today
Today, Social Luxe Agency exists to help small businesses step into the world of influencer marketing with confidence and intention.
What began as a passion for marketing, community, and storytelling has evolved into an agency dedicated to helping founders create meaningful brand visibility through influencer-led experiences. By combining marketing strategy with thoughtfully curated brand activations, we help small businesses introduce their products to aligned creators and new audiences in a way that feels authentic and impactful.
Our goal has always been simple: to give small businesses access to opportunities that are often reserved for larger brands.
Because the truth is, some of the most creative, innovative, and inspiring brands are built by small business owners. They deserve the chance to share their stories, connect with creators, and grow their visibility in meaningful ways.
Social Luxe Agency was created to make that possible.
