Katherine Sakovich, CMO at Mira, shares how Mira scaled from chaos to a multi‑product hormonal health platform via community-led, educative marketing. Highlights explore positioning tactics, messaging for sensitive journeys, product‑marketing integration, and the evolving role of AI.

Key Moments:

Built early beta‑tester community into 18,000-member brand ambassador network
Laid tagline-offfer-tested messaging over media buys to human stories
Designed marketing hires as strategic freelancers to scale
Used beta feedback to inform educational and emotional copy strategy
Layered performance media once trust and voice were grounded
Positioned each product launch like an iPhone upgrade for community anticipation
Partner-generated webinars (with doctors) became evergreen funnel assets
Deployed AI in support and fraud prevention—still cautious with patient‑facing AI
