Kindred Coffee Co. — Community Growth Strategy
A content and community strategy that turned a small local following into a highly engaged, nationally recognized audience.
A quick snapshot
Kindred Coffee Co. came to us with an engaged but small local following and no consistent content strategy. The goal was simple: build a social presence that turns casual followers into a loyal, vocal community.
Where things stood before
Content was inconsistent, posted reactively with no clear voice or visual identity. Engagement was low, and growth had stalled for months at a time.
Audience feedback pointed to content that felt generic, a lack of behind-the-scenes storytelling, and almost no presence on short-form video.
"We knew our community loved us in person — we just weren't showing up that way online."
What we built instead
We built a content system rooted in authentic storytelling, then layered in a consistent short-form video strategy designed to travel beyond our existing audience.
- A documented content pillar system covering behind-the-scenes, product, and community stories.
- A short-form video strategy built specifically for Reels and TikTok discovery.
- A community engagement routine that turned comments and DMs into real relationships.
- A monthly content calendar so posting stayed consistent even during busy weeks.
