Founded in 2017, Bae Juice is a Korean pear juice that is sourced, squeezed and packaged from Naju, South Korea and has been brought all the way down under.

Our approach

Theory Crew delivered a strong earned media campaign where clever tactics and creative milestones were engineered to secure quality earned media placements. These tactics were integral to the success of the campaign which allowed Theory Crew to garner new and meaningful press for an existing product.

Coverage highlights included a 3 minute national segment on 7 News with social amplification, standalone articles via Body+Soul and Thrillist with additional coverage via Fifi, Fev and Nick (101.9 FOX) Mamamia, WHO, New Idea and more.

To support these efforts, we partnered with talent on a contra basis including @garrett_mcnamara (127k), @annaliseewood (26k) & @ebony_walton (22.3k) to generate more than 27 collaborations and 756k in cumulative following.

“To say Theory Crew catapulted our business is an understatement! Through the extensive amount of quality media hits resulting in a steep increase in sales, Theory Crew has completely changed the trajectory of our business. The team allocated to us delivered over and above. We saw Bae Juice on an insane amount of online publications and even had a feature on Channel 7 News. The Crew move efficiently and have excellent communication skills providing us with consistent updates and being there for us all day, everyday. We couldn’t be happier with Theory Crew.”

BOOST LAB is a serum specialist, ensuring efficacy without compromising quality or accessibility. BOOST LAB’s focus is to simplify what can be a complex category, by producing high performing skincare and skin solutions for all types of skin.

Our approach

Theory Crew designed and executed an integrated PR approach to launch BOOST LAB to market during a COVID-19 climate.

The use of creative tactics allowed BOOST LAB to be seen en-mass to an audience that was highly engaged and receptive to the news, with early results attracting the likes of more than 150+ pharmacies, and leading e-tailers include Adore Beauty, Priceline, THG’s Look Fantastic, RY and Active Skin.

Our strategy produced a host of quality media coverage via online, print, and broadcast mediums spanning consumer and trade in the likes of: Mamamia, You Beauty (podcast), 9Honey, Broadsheet, WHO Magazine, Woman’s Day, New Idea, Girlfriend, Esprit Magazine, beautyheaven, and a dedicated 35-minute podcast with founder Craig Schweighoffer via Beaute Industrie on the emerging trend of AI-beauty and how BOOST LAB is one of the first to market with this exciting advancement.

Theory Crew simultaneously executed an organic-led social media strategy, which successfully drove an immense and rapid follower uptake to @boostlabco.

During our tenure, we established a highly engaged community and an abundance of high-performing video and static content across Instagram before introducing TikTok as part of the BOOST LAB comms house.

“We partnered with Theory Crew to launch BOOST LAB into the Australian marketplace. We were extremely pleased with the strategy they developed and the overall results, in particular the influencer outreach, social media planning and execution and community management. I mean, what is not to like about 70,000 engaged followers in 8 months? I would highly recommend Theory Crew to anyone looking for results, whether it is social sampling, to list engagement levels or to grow your community”.

Founded in Byron Bay in 2012, StrangeLove has grown from one organic Ginger Beer product to over 20 unique and eclectic products spanning Premium Mixers, Lo-Cal Sodas and Mineral Water.

Our approach

With our campaign kicking off in October 2021, Theory Crew launched several simultaneous initiatives to drive lead generation and acquire data on our online audience to form the basis for our Black Friday/Cyber Monday campaign.

Exclusively looking at the conversion campaign over Black Friday and Cyber Monday, our activity produced a ROAS of 4.30 which is a fantastic result and well above the industry benchmark.

Not only did we achieve amazing results with the campaign, we also achieved 220% YOY growth for the brand for the same sales period as 2020.

Theory Crew then delivered a hard and fast campaign to promote StrangeLove’s Tipple Topper via an earned media campaign. Our relationships with media helped generate quality in coverage outlets including: Australian Women’s Weekly, Taste Magazine, Woman’s Day, Mindfood, Better Homes & Gardens and Gold Coast Panache Magazine.

This coverage was encouraged by a creative campaign we engineered between StrangeLove and Skyn to“Top Yourself Off” for Valentine’s Day through pleasurable moments.

Our partnership with Theory Crew gave StrangeLove the exposure we have struggled to execute en-masse through our own efforts. The coverage we received for our Tipple Topper product launch and Black Friday Sale, via high-quality micro-influencers and household name publications, gave us a successful product launch and delivered a strong Black Friday ROI. The team was a pleasure to work with - responsive, quick to act, and enthusiastic about the brand. We definitely plan to use Theory Crew again for upcoming projects.
