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
