📍 Context

Delisweet Cakes is an artisan bakery in Brussels specialising in creative cakes and visually spectacular sweet creations. With a naturally 'Instagrammable' product, the social media potential was enormous but untapped.

🎯 The challenge

🎯

Getting noticed beyond the neighbourhood

The bakery had a loyal local clientele but struggled to attract new customers from other Brussels districts.

📸

Leveraging visual potential

The creations deserved to be seen, but the business had neither the time nor the skills to create regular content.

💰

Limited marketing budget

With a budget of €99/month, every euro had to count. A high-ROI solution was essential.

💡 The Kontnu solution

In April 2024, Delisweet Cakes joined Kontnu with the €99/month plan (annual plan = €1,188). Their strategy:

  • Attractive brief: Pastry tasting of their choice (value ~€25) — a simple but effective deal for a highly visual product.
  • Volume of collaborations: 285 creator applications received, 121 collaborations completed with 114 unique creators.
  • TikTok focus: The majority of content created on TikTok — the ideal platform for visually impactful food content.
