Startup Client
From 7K Followers and Stalled to 320K in 90 Days
This client had been posting consistently with nothing to show for it. We ran a full audit, found exactly where the strategy was breaking down, and rebuilt it around what the platform actually rewards. A high-impact content series went live. Growth went from zero to sustained trajectory within the first month.
What this engagement covered:
- Social audit and performance diagnosis
- Full content strategy rebuild
- Content series creation and real-time optimization
- Platform-specific growth execution
Tech Company
A Dead Discord Became Their Highest-Converting Channel
This community had been dark for 4+ months. No moderation, no events, no reason for members to come back. Before touching anything, we diagnosed why it failed. Then rebuilt the entire operating model: new mod team structure and coaching, tiered focus groups to surface member feedback, and monthly tentpole events that gave people a reason to show up consistently. Product alignment improved. Member trust came back. Conversion followed.
What this engagement covered:
- Root cause diagnosis before any execution
- Moderation team restructure and ongoing coaching
- Focus group cohort system for member feedback
- Monthly event programming and community calendar
a16z-Backed Gaming Studio
Zero to 20,000+ Members. Built to Convert, Not Just Grow.
Starting from zero, we built the full community architecture for a funded gaming studio: gamified engagement loops tied to the studio's IP, product unlocks that rewarded active members, and cross-platform content funnels that pulled new audiences in and kept them engaged. Every element was designed to turn casual interest into committed membership.
What this engagement covered:
- Full community build from zero
- Gamification design tied to IP and product
- Cross-platform content funnels
- Acquisition and retention systems
Music Technology Company
3 Product Launches. Owned Strategy Across Every Channel.
We built the content sequencing framework, led artist outreach and partnerships, and owned paid and organic execution across YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok. Each launch built on the last. By the third, the audience was primed, the content engine was dialed, and the sales results reflected it.
What this engagement covered:
- Content strategy and launch sequencing across 3 releases
- Artist outreach and partnership activation
- Paid and organic social across YouTube, Instagram, TikTok
- Discord community engagement
Major Social Platform
A Creator Revenue System That Generated $2M in One Campaign
We built an engagement-by-revenue quadrant framework to segment 1,500+ creators by potential, then activated the highest-opportunity tier through targeted outreach, 1:1 coaching, and structured educational sprints. Creators who had been underperforming started generating real revenue. The platform kept them.
What this engagement covered:
- Creator segmentation and revenue framework
- Targeted outreach system
- 1:1 coaching operations
- Educational content and sprint programming
- Program performance reporting
Entertainment Clients
Turned Stalled Social Presence Into a Sponsorship Pipeline
Across multiple entertainment brands, we optimized SEO, tightened content strategy, and rebuilt the social presence into something that attracted partnership interest at scale. Referral traffic became a primary growth channel. Inbound sponsorship volume followed.
What this engagement covered:
- SEO optimization and content strategy
- Social media management
- Audience positioning for brand partnerships
Recording Artist
95,000 Peak Viewers. One Fan Activation Campaign.
We designed a hybrid activation that combined an in-person experience with a global livestream built to maximize participation and reach across both surfaces. The result was one of the highest-engagement brand moments of the campaign cycle.
What this engagement covered:
- Fan experience design across in-person and livestream
- Event strategy and execution
- Live engagement programming
