La Case Paulette – More Than a Store
Since I featured the two sisters (Audrey and Cecile) behind the concept store, La Case Paulette in 2020- their French-inspired store has gone from strength to strength. From its humble beginnings as a pop-up store in Kreuzberg to finding a home on the trendy streets of Prenzlauer Berg. The fact the store continues to grow despite the challenges imposed by Covid is a testament to the fact that La Case Paulette is more than just a shop.
Content Creation – Event Marketing
During La Case Paulette’s first event since Berlin’s Covid rules were relaxed, I took the opportunity to market the brand by producing content that:
- Highlighted some of my favourite pieces in the store (images and video)
- Showcased their store as a meeting point and melting point for Berliners (images)
I’ve always been interested in the different ways content creation and marketing can be used to support events (and brands).
Through experience, I’ve learnt that a lot of one’s content marketing strategy for events depends on: budget, time, resources, and creativity.
I took on this event marketing task as a passion project and ran it as a one-woman band. Timing-wise, the prep work I did for the shindig was done a week before the event which included sourcing the photographer and drawing up a shoot brief/contract.

My La Case Paulette Picks
La Case Paulette is a store you can walk in and out with a diverse selection of goodies that range from clothes, accessories to art and home decor items.
When curating, I decided to focus on their statement jackets, jewellery, and bags.
What makes the store’s pieces unique is that:
- Some of the designers – e.g. FAAM Studio – are local Berlin artists
- Their leather goods are handmade and eco-conscious
- Jewellery has a geometric and tongue-in-cheek edge

La Cases Paulette’s intends to grow a cultural hub that fosters a community of like-minded people.
With the fantastic turnout of its first shindig, it’s clear that seed has begun to grow…
Psst! Ways to Support Your Local Business!

Yes, every local business should be supported, but in this patriarchal world we live in, I have an affinity for supporting female entrepreneurs!
At this event, I did go all out by hiring a photographer, modelling the store’s pieces but there are easier (and cheaper!) ways to show love to your local bu’ness:
- Introduce the brand to your friends. When it comes to promotions, nothing beats word-of-mouth. For example, for this event, I invited my friends and it was great to see them have a good time and leave with the store’s goodies.
- Engage with the brand on social media. We live in a world of social authority and erm, social sheep. So a Like and Comment is likely to cause a domino engagement effect.
- Leave a genuine and positive review! Now, this I have to do more of. Especially when the places I visited during my recent trip to Playa Del Carmen was heavily driven by reviews!
And erm, of course, dig into your pockets and send some dough their way!
How do you guys support your local business/local female business/local black-owned business?
