Client: Oluremi Skin · Founder: Mimi Faust · July 1 to August 31, 2026 · Content, social strategy, automation and full-funnel tracking

01 / The challenge

Fame without a funnel.

Oluremi Skin launched with something most brands never get: a founder, Mimi Faust, with over 1.5 million followers and a loyal TV audience. What it didn't have was a system.

Posting was random. The brand page was a fraction of the size of her personal page. The new Shopify store had no traffic engine behind it, and nobody could tell which post, if any, actually made a sale.

The job: turn that reach into something that makes money on repeat, without burning out a founder who runs the business every day.

02 / The approach

Build the engine. Then measure everything.

01
One content day a week

Every shoot is batched into a month of posts. Output grew 51% to 157 posts across five accounts in August, without adding a single shoot day.

02
The founder goes first

Every hero concept puts Mimi on camera: mother and daughter reels, values-led real stories, comedy skits and founder authority pieces. We tested product-only posts and retired them. Founder content won roughly 10 to 1.

03
Comments turn into conversations

Keyword DM automation (comment ROUTINE or GLOW) turns comments into DM conversations, and DM conversations into store visits.

04
Views tied to dollars

Metricool across every social account, wired against Shopify attribution. Every monthly review connects views to sessions to orders to revenue, so decisions get made on sales, not likes.

05
Test formats, keep the winners

Five formats shipped and scored every month on engagement, follower growth and store traffic. Winners get next month's slots. Losers get cut.

“Reach is rented. The store, the list and the system are owned. We build what the client keeps.”

August alone did $8,665 in sales, with $3,780 tied directly to marketing. Instagram now brings 53% of all store traffic. Google Search, the demand the content created, converts at 4.5%, four times the social average.

04 / What we learned

Three lessons any founder-led brand can bank.

01
Founder on camera beats product-only, 10 to 1.

No product-only post made the month's top six. Every winning format put the founder's face and voice first. The product closes. The person opens.

02
Content plants the demand. Search picks it up.

Google Search had the highest conversion rate of any channel on a third of Instagram's traffic. People watch a reel, remember the name and search later. If you only judge content by social numbers, you're undercounting it.

03
Reach without a click path is a stage without a door.

Millions of impressions on older channels made zero dollars because no buying path was connected. The fix isn't more content. It's tracking links, keyword automation and a link everywhere attention lands.

05 / What's next

From reach to conversion.

Month three moves the focus to sales: a full tracking setup, keyword automation on every reel, a content slate built on the proven formats, an anniversary campaign around the brand's first year, and a commercial we produced for the Carlos King Show, with a landing path ready so borrowed reach lands on owned ground.
