Why this matters

Organic social is the cheapest attention your brand will ever get.

Your buyers are already scrolling

CPG purchase decisions increasingly start on social. Your audience is already there, deciding what to buy. We make sure your brand shows up credibly when they look.

Feeds are the new search

Social content now surfaces in search results, AI answers, and recommendation feeds. Every post compounds into discoverability far beyond the platform it was made for.

Most brands post, few have a system

Posting alone stalls out. Growth comes from a repeatable loop of content, creator recruitment, and UGC that keeps working after the post goes live.

What we do

Two engines, run with discipline.

No inflated menu. We focus on the two things that actually compound for a growing CPG brand, and we report on both in plain language.

Social01

Social media management

Consistent, on-brand content and community management that actually moves reach and engagement. We post every other day at minimum, usually on Instagram with X as a supporting channel, before UGC is even counted.

Affiliate02

Affiliate & UGC systems

We build and run automated creator outreach that recruits affiliates and generates a steady stream of organic UGC, so your growth compounds month over month. Roughly 8% of the creators we contact sign on.

Every engagement includes clear reporting and category-appropriate compliance checks.

What the outreach actually looks like

Personalized, age-gated, and honest about the category. Sent at scale, screened before anything goes out.

Why us

Agency output. Not agency overhead.

Most agencies sell a ten-service menu and bill for the coordination. We run two engines that compound, and we price like a partner.

Reffli gave us a clean DTC funnel, set up a content strategy, an affiliate program and targeted automated outreach to creators we wanted, all within a week of signing them. They were extremely knowledgeable about the marketing restrictions around nicotine pouches and helped us grow without cutting corners. They operate more efficiently than any other agency or consultant I've ever worked with.

Who we work with

DTC CPG and challenger brands.

We work with founders moving into DTC and brands already selling online that could be doing far better. That includes regulated consumer categories. We keep acquisition responsible, category-appropriate, and built for people of legal age to purchase.

FAQ

Straight answers.

What does an engagement cost?

Meaningfully less than a typical agency retainer. Pricing depends on scope, but the model is built for brands that are still growing into DTC, and it is transparent from the first conversation. No lock-ins designed to trap you.

Do you work with regulated consumer categories?

Yes. Compliance-aware acquisition is a core part of how we operate. Content and outreach are built to be category-appropriate and directed at audiences of legal purchase age.

How does the affiliate system actually work?

We run automated outreach to creators who fit your category, recruit them as affiliates, and manage the relationship. Roughly 8% of the creators we contact sign on. As affiliates come online they produce organic UGC, which compounds your reach without additional ad spend.

How often do you post?

Every other day at minimum on the primary channel, usually Instagram, with X as a supporting channel. Affiliate UGC comes on top of that cadence.

How fast should we expect results?

Organic growth compounds. Meaningful movement in reach and engagement is typically visible within the first month, but we do not promise outcomes. Anyone who guarantees results in this space is guessing with your money.

What do you need from us to start?

Brand assets, product access, and a short call to understand your category and constraints. The audit does the rest.
