CPG, US

$65,459 to $1,007,726 by month 4

$1,007,726GMV, 30 days
29,646Orders
+180%vs prior 30 days

A 9 figure CPG brand, huge everywhere else and flat here. July closed at $65,459 and 1,322 orders.

The part most brands never see is underneath the number. In the 30 days to 6 September, 14,159 creators posted 27,908 videos, and creator attributed GMV was $103,138, up 322%.

$50K+ days are normal for this shop now, and the lift does not stop at TikTok Shop: Amazon and Shopify grow with it. The 30 days to 7 October closed at $541,764, the 30 days to 12 October at $706,936, and the 30 days to 25 October at $1,007,726. It is now the #3 shop by GMV in its TikTok Shop category. The next targets: $2M a month, #1 in the category, then #1 on TikTok Shop.

What we changed

  1. Sampling went from a few hundred a month to thousands a day.
  2. Every creator briefed from their own content, never a template.
  3. A community of 20,000+ creators across different channels, run daily, with cash campaigns on top of commission.

The creator engine, 8 Aug to 6 Sep 2026

This brand had awareness we did not have to build. The constraint was purely how many creators were holding the product. A brand without that recognition takes longer to reach the same curve.

Ancient Remedies
Nov 2025 to Mar 2026

Wellness, UK

£1,000 a month to £557,782 from a cold start

£557,782Gross sales
16,441Orders
151Days

Good product, shop had gone quiet, sitting at around £1,000 a month. No creator network, no affiliate program, no system. Wellness is a trust category, so there was no version of this that worked by throwing samples at whoever answered.

Over 151 days the shop did £557,782 in gross sales across 16,441 orders and 16,322 buyers. December alone closed at £175,809 gross and 5,159 orders, up 147% on the month before.

What we changed

  1. Picked creators by hand, vetted for wellness and health specifically.
  2. Trained them every day in a community, with bonuses to keep people posting.
  3. Put nothing into paid until it had earned its place organically.
151 days to 31 Mar 2026
The line starting at zero
The peak month, Dec 2025

December is peak season for wellness gifts, so the single month figure is a strong month rather than a typical one. The 151 day number is the one to judge us on, and it is the one we led with.

Jecca Blac
1 Sep to 30 Nov 2025

Beauty, UK

£167,761 in 90 days, with nobody on retainer

£167,761GMV, 90 days
+873%Revenue growth
0Creators on retainer

A gender inclusive beauty brand with a loyal community. The creator pipeline was dry and the ads were spending for nothing. They had already tried the blast samples at hundreds approach. Creators posted once and disappeared.

Around 50 trained creators did it, and not 1 of them was on a retainer contract. £113,741 of that £167,761 came through as net revenue.

What we changed

  1. Rebuilt the creator pipeline by hand instead of by volume.
  2. Ran a trained community and added performance bonuses.
  3. Put only proven content behind paid.
1 Sep to 30 Nov 2025

Working without retainers was possible here partly because the brand already had a loyal community to recruit from. A brand with no existing audience usually needs a few paid creators early to get the first content moving.

Books, US

$339,690 through GMV Max, on a book

$339,690Gross revenue, 90 days
3.78xReturn on ad spend
21,484Orders

Not a category anyone would pick to start on TikTok Shop, which is exactly why it is in here. If the system only worked on supplements and snacks it would not be a system.

Spend crossed $89,000 across 3 months and cost per order fell 12% while we were scaling. On the organic side, from 1 April to 1 June, 14,801 orders and $211,018 GMV, up 43%. A single 28 day window did $101,144 across 6,990 orders.

What we changed

  1. Built GMV Max campaigns on the winners only, then scaled them slowly.
  2. Kept a trained creator base producing so the paid side always had fuel.
  3. Watched the daily line rather than the monthly average, so nothing got scaled on a good week.
GMV Max, 3 Mar to 1 Jun 2026
The organic side, 1 Apr to 1 Jun 2026
A single 28 day window, to 11 May

This worked because the content was made for people who actually read the book, rather than chasing whatever was trending. A brand that needs its audience built from scratch does not get this curve in 3 months.

Gyal Braids
Jan to Jun 2026

Hair, US

$260,000 across 5 straight months

$260,000GMV
5,441Orders
5Months, no gaps

Anyone can catch a good week. 5 months is a system. GMV more than doubled on the previous period, and the daily line never fell off a cliff. That flatness is the whole point of this case, and it is the hardest thing on this platform to produce.

A separate 28 day window, to 22 June, did $48,275 across 1,147 orders, up 35%, which is what a normal month looks like once the engine is running rather than being pushed.

What we changed

  1. Kept creator output steady every week instead of chasing spikes.
  2. Replaced tired creators before the numbers dipped, not after.
  3. Held paid at a return that protected margin rather than buying a record month.
5 months, 1 Jan to 1 Jun 2026
A single 28 day window, to 22 Jun

A steady line is less impressive to look at than a spike. It is also the only shape that pays a team, holds stock and survives a quarter.

Other shops, same system

The same things happened every time

Different countries, categories and starting points. The work underneath them was the same work.

01

Audit

We map the catalog, the margins and the current shop setup before touching anything.

02

Strategy

We pick the hero, the creator type and the angles most likely to scale for this specific product.

03

Recruit

Creators are picked by hand, never mass approved. Every applicant is vetted before a sample ships.

04

Create

Every creator gets a specific brief built from hooks already working, with reference videos. Not a paragraph of product information.

05

Scale

Paid only ever follows proven content. In every case here, GMV Max went on after there was something worth amplifying.

06

Optimize

Winners scaled, losers cut, every week. Month 1 builds, month 2 optimizes, month 3 pays out.

The community is the part that compounds. Daily presence, feedback on individual videos, and cash campaigns on top of commission. It is what turns somebody who posted once into somebody who posts every week, and it is the difference between a creator list and a creator system.

What this pack does not show you

These are the strong ones, which is what a case study pack is, and you should read them knowing that.

The brands still in month 1 or 2

Every curve on this page was slow at the start. We have shops sitting flat right now that we expect to look like Ancient Remedies by Christmas. We are not going to show you a flat line and ask you to trust a forecast.

The ones that did not work

Mostly they share a cause. Sampling stopped. A brand that commits to 1,000 samples a month and ships 150 does not get these numbers, and no amount of creator management fixes it. If sampling is going to be a fight internally, that is worth knowing before you hire anybody.

Every window we could have picked

Where a case shows a tight window, the wider number sits in the same case. US cookie brand is the example. We would rather you saw both than found the 2nd one yourself.
