Carly's extensive background in consumer products and marketing enabled her to see beyond the traditional gender divisions in the personal care aisle. With a keen understanding of formulations and market preferences, she set out to create a brand that was truly inclusive, free from the constraints of stereotypical gender roles. Driven by empathy for today's youth, Carly aims to empower Gen Z and all generations to embrace their individuality. Recognizing their creativity and resilience, she sees Miles not just as a brand, but as a reflection of all our diverse identities and experiences. For Carly, being an inclusive brand goes beyond marketing—it's about taking a stand on social issues that matter. Through initiatives like supporting LGBTQ+ nonprofits during Pride Month, Miles aims to contribute to a more equitable and accepting society. One of the unique challenges Carly faces is marketing to both parents and teens. By striking a balance between safety and affordability for parents while maintaining appeal for teens, Miles has successfully resonated with both audiences.
