THE CHALLENGE
Our team has accompanied Magic Spoon through their growth from a niche DTC cereal brand to becoming a widely recognized cult product that is now available to buy in stores.
Throughout their campaign, we've explored different verticals on YouTube, with a heavy emphasis on experimentation and optimization. Magic Spoon is now a respected sponsor that many creators are keen to work with, which allows us to constantly find new creative partners and offer competitive CPV rates. Our campaigns have included content promotions across YouTube. We have explored partnerships across channels with topics as diverse as lifestyle, fitness, food, and entertainment. With each of these verticals and more, we have engaged with new audiences who are highly relevant to the brand’s customer acquisition goals. They successfully partnered with YouTubers such as Toy Galaxy, and Majorkill.
