Fresh Food Co.: Social Media Transformation
How we increased online sales by 87% with a data-driven social media strategy and authentic creator partnerships.
Overview
Fresh Food Co., a meal delivery service offering organic, locally-sourced prepared meals, was struggling to differentiate itself in a crowded market. Despite having a superior product, their digital presence failed to communicate their unique value proposition effectively.
They partnered with us to revitalize their social media strategy, increase online visibility, and drive sales through authentic content and targeted creator partnerships.
Challenges
- Stagnant social media growth and engagement despite increasing ad spend
- Poor conversion rates from social media to the website (below 1.2%)
- Inconsistent brand messaging across platforms
- Limited organic reach due to algorithm changes
- Difficulty showcasing food quality through digital channels
- Strong competition from both established and new meal delivery services
Our Strategy
Data-Driven Content Strategy
We conducted comprehensive audience analysis and competitive research to identify content gaps and opportunities. This informed a structured content calendar focusing on recipe showcases, behind-the-scenes, nutrition education, and customer transformations.
Creator Partnerships
We partnered with 15 health and wellness creators who authentically aligned with Fresh Food's values. These partnerships focused on in-depth reviews, day-in-the-life content, and educational collaborations rather than simply promotional posts.
Enhanced Visual Identity
We elevated Fresh Food's visual presence with professional food photography and videography, creating a consistent and appetizing visual library that highlighted the quality and freshness of ingredients.
Performance-Based Optimization
We implemented weekly content performance reviews to continuously optimize the strategy, doubling down on high-performing formats and refining underperforming ones based on engagement and conversion metrics.

Results
Within six months, Fresh Food Co. achieved remarkable growth across all key metrics. Online sales increased by 87% compared to the previous six-month period, with a 42% growth in subscription-based customers who have significantly higher lifetime value.
Social media followers increased across platforms (Instagram: +124%, TikTok: +275%, Facebook: +68%), but more importantly, engagement rates nearly tripled from an average of 1.3% to 3.8%, well above industry benchmarks.
The campaign also achieved a 32% reduction in customer acquisition costs while maintaining the same conversion quality, resulting in significantly improved marketing ROI.
Key Learnings
- Educational content outperforms promotional: Content that taught customers about nutrition, sustainable farming, and cooking techniques generated 3.2x more engagement and 2.7x higher conversion rates than direct promotional content.
- Authenticity matters: Creator partners who were genuine users of the service and shared honest experiences (including constructive feedback) generated significantly higher trust and conversion rates than those who delivered only positive messaging.
- Visual quality directly impacts perception: The investment in professional food photography and videography directly correlated with increased perception of meal quality and value, as measured through customer surveys.
- Platform-specific optimization is crucial: Content tailored specifically for each platform's unique audience and algorithm performed 47% better than cross-posted content.
"The results speak for themselves—an 87% increase in sales in just six months is remarkable. But what truly impressed us was how the team transformed our entire approach to connecting with customers. They didn't just create more content; they helped us tell our story in a way that resonates deeply with our audience and clearly communicates the quality and care we put into every meal."
