Unlocking Product Market Fit Through Content + Community

Case Study: BRUNT Growth

The Challenge: Setting the Business + Brand Up for Success, Heading Into It’s First Full Year

  • Brunt, partnered with DTCo prior to the business launching in Sept ‘20, crafting a simple and comprehensive GTM strategy across Facebook and Google.

  • DTCo hypothesized that in-market users would see ads from multiple boot brands marketing from their brand pages without a face to relate to and that a strategy of marketing from Eric’s personal Facebook page would cut through the noise.

  • Eric started producing the first post and we haven’t looked back.

The Solution: Leverage the Brand’s Relatability + Position Brunt Through a Personal Platform to Reach New Customers

  • An old Facebook play of creating vanity pages came to mind and we lobbed the idea over to Eric (the Founder), asking if we could turn his personal profile into a page to advertise from.

  • Eric personally responded to every single one and still does.

  • DTCo designed a process for producing content at an organic rate that told the brand and product stories.

The Results: Over Brunt’s First Year 📈

  • Their potential market listened because Eric’s posts were relatable and hit on topics that Brunt’s audience was naturally interested in.

  • What we did following the success of the first Founder post was where it became clear that this was bigger than just a one hit wonder.

  • The audience metrics were awesome but the proof is in the growth.

  • The boxes below represent the lift that real, resonating content and community engagement can drive:
