Client Overview

Fizzle is a new brand of healthy, sparkling beverages. They were launching into a crowded market and needed to make a big splash.

The Problem

As a new brand, they had zero brand awareness or market presence. They needed a launch strategy that would quickly build a customer base and generate buzz.

Our Strategy

We executed a two-phase launch. Phase one was a pre-launch branding and awareness campaign focused on building an email list and social media following. Phase two was the official launch, driven by a multi-channel paid media blitz on Meta, TikTok, and influencer channels.

Execution

For the pre-launch, we created a compelling brand story and visual identity. We ran a giveaway campaign to build an email list of 5,000 interested consumers. For the launch, we used the email list to drive initial sales and seeded the product with 100 micro-influencers. Paid ads targeted lookalike audiences from the initial buyers.

The Results

The launch was a huge success. The brand acquired over 10,000 customers in the first 60 days. The pre-launch email list had a 15% conversion rate on launch day. The influencer campaign generated a massive amount of UGC and social proof, which was then used in future ads.
