CONTEXT

I was hired by the founders of a startup (DUO) to handle all the marketing and advertising for their prelaunch campaign. The product they were launching was an iPhone case with a 3000mAh battery to simultaneously charge your JUUL and phone, paired with storage compartments for your JUUL and an extra pod.

Deliverables:


  • Brand Proposal 

  • Pre-Launch Campaign

  • Product & Content Pictures

  • Brand Logo & illustrations

  • Shopify Website

  • Creative copywriting

ACTION

BRAND DEVELOPMENT

Identified our target audience and built a brand around what they would resonate with most. This involved the brand logo (similar to the JUUL logo to trigger product association), rich colours, premium positioning strategy, and brand language.

ASSET CREATION

Shot product photos for Shopify and Kickstarter launch. Created content plan and shot lifestyle photos for the Instagram page.

VOLTAGE PLAN

Posted content according to Instagram algorithm best practices while reaching out to relevant public figures through our socials to create awareness. Resulted in 9,000 followers and a 4% engagement rate on posts.

KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN

Planned and developed Kickstarter campaign to help generate our first round of buyers. Built Shopify store in advance to be ready to accept orders after crowdfunding stage and orders were complete to convert second wave of buyers to our platform.

RESULT

The pre-launch campaign gained the attention of many influencers such as Steve Aoki, Leo McManus, and many popular YouTubers. This lead to a partnership with influencers Vitaly Zdorovetskiy and Kinsey Wolanski (combined Instagram following of 6.7 million) for a share in the company.

BAN ON VAPE PRODUCTS

Halfway through the campaign, Trump’s administration banned flavoured vape products. This made running advertisements and continuing the use of influencers almost impossible. Due to all the restrictions, the startup decided it was best to ship out the units sold, and shut down the project.
