CASE STUDY

LEGACY INDUSTRIAL MANUFACTURER

$17.7K in ad spend.
$318K in content-equivalent value.
17x ROI.

Leadership came in with three questions. How well are our social channels actually working. How do we reach the next generation of customers. What should we invest next year.

The answer was a UGC engine built around a makers challenge, a campaign that activated the brand's existing customer community to create content at scale.

340 assets curated. 160 deployed across social and product pages. 17% of product pages now include UGC. 75M+ annual video views. 26K new Instagram followers. $2.30 effective CPM against a $12-15 industry benchmark. Same-day in-store sales lift correlated with campaign timing.

The campaign reached an audience a full generation younger than the brand's historic core. On the same budget.
