Marketplace storytelling at scale

Creator partnerships designed to compound across quarters, not spike for a single post.

The problem

Sale-season posts were getting reach, then vanishing. Nothing carried into the next quarter.

A marketplace with thousands of products needed creators to tell stories about shopping, not just show hauls.

Our scope

  • Always-on creator roster
  • Quarterly content themes
  • Monthly reporting
  • Social amplification

The audience insight

People do not remember a sale. They remember the creator who keeps finding them good things.

Strategic decisions

  1. A standing roster

    The same creators returned every quarter, so audiences learned to expect them.

  2. Recurring formats

    Named series gave each post a reason to be part of something bigger.

  3. Quarter-on-quarter learning

    Each quarter's brief was rewritten from the last quarter's comments.

The brief we were given, and the creative we made. Drag to compare.

Initial brief

Haul videos for the sale. Show as many products as possible.

Final creative

A recurring series, one find per episode, with the creator's reason for keeping it.

What we made

  • Recurring creator series
  • Haul-to-story formats
  • Quarterly content calendars
  • Monthly reports
