Overview

The challenge

The team was launching a $180 SKU into a category dominated by three big-brand competitors. Ad channels were saturated, influencer costs were absurd, and their founder story was their strongest asset.

Our approach

  1. 01Six weeks of relationship-building with mods and power users in four target subs.
  2. 02Founder wrote a first-person build story we edited for the sub's tone.
  3. 03We mapped the objections each sub was likely to raise, so the founder could answer them honestly instead of defensively.
  4. 04Posts went out one sub at a time over several days, and the founder answered every comment himself under his own name.

The results

Posts reached the front page of all four target subs. First-week revenue came in at 38 times what the campaign cost to run. Two of those threads still send traffic 14 months later.
