2,000+ — influencer partnerships across 6 continents
The challenge
A bootstrapped streetwear brand had no media budget to buy its way to scale, and a supply chain exposed to tariff volatility and inconsistent manufacturing quality.
What I did
Grow paid social from a small daily budget upward only as return held, and build an automated influencer and affiliate ecosystem to produce creative volume the budget could not buy.
The work
Founder-led paid social scaled from $45 to $300 a day across $62,000+ lifetime Facebook spend, an influencer and affiliate ecosystem generating 4,000+ UGC assets, Instagram grown from 0 to 45,000+, and a manufacturing migration out of China completed in 30 days at peak tariff volatility with lot-number QC.
Stack: Meta ads, influencer and affiliate marketing, UGC, supply chain and sourcing
Revenue: 300% year-over-year growth
Community: 50,000+ organic community, Instagram from 0 to 45,000+
Creative: 2,000+ influencer partnerships across 6 continents and 4,000+ UGC assets
Spend: daily budget scaled $45 to $300, $62,000+ lifetime Facebook spend
Supply chain: out of China in 30 days with 90%+ defect elimination via lot-number QC
Scaling spend is the easy half. The brand only survives it if the supply chain can take the volume.
