From Zero to 427,000 Views: Launching a New RV Brand With Scroll-Stopping Content

When you’re launching a new brand, the world isn’t waiting for you—you have to make it notice. That was the case for this disruptive RV startup entering a crowded industry with no name recognition, no followers, and no content. With just weeks to go before their official debut, they partnered with Handshake Digital to build buzz, generate excitement, and carve out a loyal audience from scratch—entirely through organic social media.

THE CHALLENGE.

When a bold new RV startup approached us in early 2025, they had no social presence—zero followers, no videos, no audience. They were preparing to enter a crowded industry filled with legacy players, and they needed attention fast.

Our goal? Create awareness, build hype, and attract an audience that was ready to follow their journey before a single RV hit the road.

Our Approach

We kept it simple: no overthinking, just smart, consistent execution. We developed a content system designed to build momentum across platforms using strong visuals, curiosity-driven hooks, and consistent posting.

Our rollout included the same short-form content across four key platforms: TikTok, Facebook, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels. The goal was maximum exposure with minimum friction.

We managed all content editing, posting, and reporting—giving our client an easy launch plan that delivered. We coordinated with their in-house team of leaders to record content from their location in Elkhart, Indiana and send it to our team that is fully remote. Yes - it's possible to do social media management remote.
