Catrice (Cosnova) Content Marketing — +20% Reach Through UGC Strategy
Strategy and account expansion for Catrice & Essence — 24 content pieces in 6 weeks, +20% reach, and 1M+ Reels views with organic UGC.
Catrice needed to scale reach and engagement on Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts, where beauty content competition is fierce.
The brand had solid products but lacked the organic creator-driven content that drives discovery among 18-30 year old beauty enthusiasts.
We developed a UGC-first strategy:
24 content pieces in just 6 weeks, all featuring real creators showing application processes — tutorials, before/after transformations, and get-ready-with-me formats. Beauty UGC that shows the process, not just the result, performs 2x better. The organic approach grew reach by +20% and generated 1M+ Reels views without paid amplification.

- 04Organic Reach Growth
+20% reach and 1M+ Reels views achieved purely through organic UGC without paid amplification.
Beauty UGC performs 2x better when creators show the application process, not just the result.
Before/after is still king.
