A fast-growing coffee brand with locations across New York and a thriving eCommerce business, faced a growing problem: content chaos. With a lean in-house team, mounting freelancer coordination issues, and agency partnerships that delivered more invoices than impact, their marketing engine was stalled. By implementing Mowie’s AI-powered marketing platform, Devoción simplified campaign planning, cut content creation and production delays, and reduced costs—while boosting performance and consistency across every channel.

The Challenge: Too Much to Do, Too Few Hands

Between Shopify content, Klaviyo campaigns and automations for email and SMS, event promotions, and social media content—a coffee retailer and fast-growing brand in New York City was managing six or more touch points just to run a single campaign.

That complexity meant their one-person marketing lead was buried in requests, managing three freelancers who needed constant oversight. Producing content became a slow, friction-filled process.

Worse, the content often needed multiple revisions to match Devoción’s elevated tone and visual standards.

Attempts to streamline production by hiring agencies didn’t yield better results. Deadlines slipped, brand messaging got diluted, and campaign traction never met expectations. It was expensive—and inefficient.

“It felt like we were always starting from scratch. Even with freelancers and agencies, we spent more time managing the process than launching campaigns,” said Devoción’s Head of Marketing.

The Turning Point: One Platform to Align and Accelerate

Devoción is an early private beta user of Mowie’s AI marketing platform to regain control of their content flywheel—and the difference was immediate.

✅ Unified Brand Voice

Mowie’s AI quickly synthesized Devoción’s brand identity by analyzing assets from Shopify, Klaviyo, paid social campaigns, and past event promos. This gave everyone—leadership, freelancers, and the in-store team—a clear, shared understanding of how the brand should sound, look, and connect with each customer segment.

A Fully Built Campaign Calendar (With Assets Included)

The marketing team no longer had to brainstorm or start with a blank doc.
Mowie populated their quarterly calendar with:

  • Campaign themes tied to key dates, products, and customer behavior
  • Ready-to-go email, SMS, and social content—all tailored to audience personas
  • 3 creative variants per campaign entry (copy, visuals, hashtags, CTA)

All Devoción had to do was review, tweak if needed, and approve. Scheduling content became a one-click operation.

Smart Targeting Made Simple

With integrations across Shopify eCommerce, Klaviyo, and GoGoGuest’s captive portal for retailers, Mowie pulled in real-time behavioral data from in-store guests, online shoppers, and subscribers.

This made it easy to match campaigns with the right audience—whether that meant targeting high-frequency café visitors or reactivating lapsed online buyers.

“We used to guess who to target and hope it resonated. Now we know. And it takes 30 seconds,” shared the marketing lead.
