In three years this brand turned $3k into $150M in revenue.

The brand? True Classic.

They bootstrapped.

They’re profitable.

And every entrepreneur should learn from their marketing playbook: Image
Meta is the driving force for True Classic.

And their ad strategy is one of the best.

True Classic:

β€’ Takes diff customer personas
β€’ Creates narratives around those personas
β€’ Then scale the ad creative around these narratives Image
Example:

Customers who have bigger legs > Pants tend to rip > Multiple ads about pants for people with large legs/butts

And they do this for nearly every product.

A look at their ad library and you’ll see they’re running 600+ different ad creatives. Image

But just a few months ago, they were collecting ~200 emails.

So, who did they 10x their email signups in 3 months?

β€’ Ensure it will create a discussion
β€’ Push to publishing partners
Newsflash: Most PR is bought & paid for.

Ikea was the first retailer to let customers pay with time.

And the campaign garnished more than $14,000,000 in earned media.

Here’s the campaign:

And we all know the more friction to do something, the higher the chance we won’t do it.
