Why Companies Choose Us

Deviate Labs marries time-proven marketing tactics with creative "out-of-the-box" growth hacks. Growth marketing isn't "one size fits all." Each client's circumstances are unique. Rather than fit every client into a cookie-cutter plan, we customize our tactics for every engagement.
After having gone through several marketing agencies, Deviate Labs is the first one to truly 'get' it.
Most marketing agencies we worked with had their formula, which they then tried to apply to our business. Deviate Labs really looked at what was needed for our specific business and then came up with a solid combination of tried and tested channels, as well as more novel approaches. We have been hitting record after record ever since. 10/10 recommend.

The "X" Factor

When circumstances align and clients crave certain out-of-the-box tactics, we concoct creative, experimental growth hacks. We start with a brainstorm session to align on campaign goals, brand fit, risk tolerance, and potential outcomes. Then we handle execution from start to finish - handling the mise-en-place and cooking up a Michelin-worthy growth stunt. Following are three examples whose results exceeded even our own expectations, with some confidential details omitted for client privacy.

Case Studies

Here are some highlights from our favorite growth hacks...

Breaking Through the
Black Friday Noise

Radix owns the registration rights for top-level domains, and they retained us to strategize and execute a campaign to capture the tech community's attention. Our ultimate goal was to raise awareness around Radix's .tech domains.

After a collaborative ideation process, we decided on an "anti-ad campaign." We scheduled it to launch on the most crowded advertising week of the year: Black Friday through Cyber Monday. To break through the commercial noise, we conceived and architected a series of digital puzzle rooms. Each room was a tech-themed challenge filled with ciphers and trivia tailored to the tech community.

Over 193,000 techies tried their hand at Break the Code, with the average visitor spending an astonishing 17.4 minutes on the site! Our campaign spawned a plethora of earned media, ranging from YouTube tutorials to a dedicated Discord server, to a 5000+ comment Reddit megathread. There was even a change.org petition for Break the Code themed merchandise. Radix quite literally had people writing in to say that the campaign changed their lives.

Sold-Out Pre-Launch
on a $0 Ad Budget

We were retained by a Chinese pet product manufacturer. They wanted to transition from white-label retail partnerships to direct-to-consumer household sales.

Inspired by Google's Star Wars homage and infamous incentivized referral pre-launch, we cherry-picked components from both campaigns. We created a one-of-a-kind mash-up for the client's pre-launch: a viral campaign that pitted dog and cat lovers against each other. Over the course of just ten days, and without spending a dime on advertising, the landing page saw 130,000+ unique visitors. We got 40,000 email leads and 50,000+ social likes, shares, and comments. Our campaign was a smashing hit with hundreds of local animal shelters, leading to millions of social media impressions.

Days after the official launch of the client's ecommerce site, most of their merchandise sold out due to popular demand.

#1 Viral Song
in the World

A freshly formed group of musicians led by a celebrity pop artist hired us to help their budding band land a global tour.

Our growth marketing ideation phase revealed that the client had just released a 4-track EP. We needed to capture the attention of the music industry's gatekeepers to validate our client's world tour aspirations. The primary goal was to top Spotify's "Viral 50" chart, while supporting a rising tide across YouTube, Apple Music, and other platforms.

While we can't disclose the technical details of our methodology, we helped the client top the Viral 50 chart, beating out the likes of Drake and Justin Timberlake. And the campaign's success eventually landed the client their global tour.
