The challenge

Where we started

The podcast tackles the taboo topics other shows avoid. The hosts had launched the account with occasional posts, but lacked the strategy, consistency, and community management experience a brand-new product needs.

The goals

What we focused on

Grow an authentic, engaged community

Grow the host's personal brand

Build the USP

We didn't just want to grow views, we wanted to build a dedicated community of advocates.

The strategy

A search-first launch

We used our search-first methodology to identify the target audience, their content habits, and the gaps in the market.

  1. ✦

    Build the host's personal brand foundation

  2. ✦

    Create top-of-funnel content around trending topics

  3. ✦

    Root the messaging in the host's relatable experiences

The execution

How we did it

Before the podcast launched, we tested content formats with Q&A-style videos, combined trending cultural content, created launch teasers, and engaged with other creators' content to establish a presence in the right conversations.
