But only when the recommendation comes from their community and does not sound like an ad. ## What works for hobby & toys Three learnings from our cases From campaigns for BlueBrixx and MagicHolz. What gets hobby communities to buy. - **One placement as proof**: BlueBrixx turned down influencer marketing for months. Instead of many small placements we booked a single, carefully chosen one: one creator, €7,800 spend. After three days €20,000 revenue and more than 180 new customers, after one month €156,000 revenue and 1,575 conversions at a €5 CAC. - **Community not follower count**: We were not looking for the best-known creator but for the community that shares the same mindset: technical curiosity, attention to detail, joy in the process. The selection was based on campaign data from the nerd, collector and hobby segment. So the placement was perceived not as an ad but as a recommendation. - **Test the audience instead of assuming it**: A wooden kit sounds like DIY. For MagicHolz we tested for about three months across YouTube, Instagram, Twitch and print. In the end gaming, outdoor and sports carried it. Moving away from the DIY audience became the growth lever: the strongest placement brought just over 4,000 conversions at under seven euros per order. ## Building bricks For the right community A clip from the BlueBrixx placement on YouTube: a creator whose community shares the same passion. ## Don't ask us Ask our clients ## Our *case studies* Real results from our campaigns, hobby & toys first. ## What could creators do for your hobby brand? ## Our influencer scaling system Three connected drivers of growth Influencer marketing strengthens the middle of the funnel. Partnership Ads drive the lower funnel. TikTok Shop adds revenue and awareness. - **Influencer marketing**: Bring your influencer and affiliate programmes together. We replace fragmented workflows with real creator relationships and clear business impact. Booking decisions draw on conversion data from over 20,000 campaigns. In IDA, every code and order shows you who drives sales and who only drives views. - **Meta Ads Suite**: Fight creative fatigue on Meta with fresh creator content, amplified through Partnership Ads.

We manage affiliate operations so manual work does not become the bottleneck. Creators with a sales record receive samples; winning videos get Spark Ads support. After a 90-day test, revenue and contribution margin tell you whether the channel earns its place. ## Also a fit for you The channels where hobby communities watch: Twitch and YouTube. - Twitch Influencer Marketing - YouTube influencer marketing ## Your questions about hobby & toys Answered honestly - **Do we need big creators?**: No, the right ones. For BlueBrixx the follower count was not decisive, but the overlap with the target group: technical curiosity, attention to detail, high involvement. A single placement brought €156,000 revenue. - **Which creators fit hobby brands?**: The ones with the right community. For BlueBrixx a YouTube creator whose community shares technical curiosity and attention to detail. For MagicHolz gaming, outdoor and sports carried it instead of the obvious DIY audience. - **How do we test without burning budget?**: With small monthly budgets across several channels and a target for cost per new customer. For MagicHolz the test phase ran about three months, then the focus was on gaming, outdoor and sports. - **Which channels work?**: That depends on product and community. BlueBrixx ran on YouTube, MagicHolz on YouTube and Twitch. What matters is judging each channel by its long tail: YouTube needs up to three months, Twitch keeps delivering long after. - **From what budget does it pay off?**: Typically online shops from around €1m annual revenue that plan €5,000 to €10,000 a month for creators, YouTube from €10,000. We calculate the exact frame from your goals in the potential analysis. ## More *industries* What creators delivered in other industries, with real cases. - **Food brands**: New customers instead of repeat buyers: 1,445 orders at a €5 CAC in HelloFresh's top placement, 84% new customers via YouTube for Oatsome. - **Home & living**: Trust for big baskets: 7.7x ROAS and €291,414 net revenue in Emma's top placement. - **Personal care**: New customers on a small basket: 3,877 new customers for Duschbrocken, cost per new customer down from €38 to €25. ## No time for a call?
