A Deep Dive into a Successful Partner Case Study

The Problem

Creator marketing returns were great and an express-train to brand equity - however the team found themselves investing countless hours, at times even days, to find and connect with creators that fit their brand - and even after all this work, some of the results were mediocre.

The Passionfroot match

This was until Jonathan, Head of Brand at Durable, came across Passionfroot when collaborating with You Need A Robot run (part of Latecheckout). After booking a sponsorship at the click of a button - Jonathan signed up to Passionfroot for Partners to discover more.

Passionfroot swiftly became a trusty growth partner, instantly boosting Durable's creator program. With Passionfroot’s vetted B2B creators, discoverability features, and a user-friendly CRM-like dashboard - Durable had unlocked creator-led growth at scale.

Discover

Once a part of Passionfroot, Durable got access to a diverse mix of creators based on their own requirements in their own personalized workspace complete with Discovery, Collaboration, and Payment features.

Durable's personalized creator Discovery space

With Passionfroot Discovery, they efficiently sifted through creators, narrowing down their criteria by category, platform, audience size, pricing, and more. In mere minutes, they pinpointed a group of high-tier creators primarily engaging with startup founders, operators, and business development professionals for which Durable seemed to be a perfect fit.

Connect

Durable quickly discovered a substantial advantage with Passionfroot: it's more than just a directory of email addresses. What set Passionfroot apart is that all the creators actively use the platform on a daily basis - because Passionfroot is Where Creators Do Business - ensuring prompt responses when requests are sent. Durable harnessed this unique aspect and reached out to 10+ creators for their inaugural campaign, yielding swift replies from high-tier creators almost immediately. This early success not only validated the effectiveness of Passionfroot as a platform but also set a promising precedent for future collaborations, establishing Passionfroot as a key catalyst in Durable's ongoing strategy for engaging with influencers and creators in the AI and Tech domain.
