Exploring luxury sex toys with LELO

  • Alysha Ali

gal-dem partnered with luxury sex toy company LELO to create insightful, fun and relatable sex content. From producing the initial idea, to managing and reporting on the final project, I worked closely with LELO’s team as they leaned on gal-dem’s authentic voice, focusing in on personal experience over the typical influencer/unboxing style content.
