01The starting pointCold launch · Jun 2025

The brand arrived with a proven product and no presence on the channel its shopper actually scrolls. In June 2025 the shop had done $24K in total GMV, $0 of it creator-driven, with a handful of creators and no outreach engine in motion.

01

No creator engine. $0 affiliate GMV; 28 creators, 41 videos, zero DMs or collab outreach running.

02

A trust-driven category. Kids' and family supplements demand credible, high-volume creator proof to convert.

03

Everything to build. Roster, outreach, sampling and content — all from a standing start.
