Inflow:📈40M+ Views, 200+ videos, 90K MRR

Strategy breakdown 📚

An underrated marketing strategy for timelines is memes. When framed right, they can feel like they were made just for you. With a humorous touch, memes can break up your content and boost reach effortlessly. You’re not selling anything—no product placement, no BS, just pure comical fun. The beauty of memes is their shareability; if you nail a sharable piece of content, the person will likely know others who relate, leading to a domino effect.

Background 📓

Inflow is a mental health app aimed towards helping people diagnosed through cognitive behavioral therapy. They launched their app over 3 years ago but still stand at #361 in the Health and Fitness category and don’t seem to be slowing down. They have a Instagram community of over 200K followers and are averaging about 250K views per post. The strategy behind their marketing success? Creating relatable memes that hyper target their customer to draw them into their community.

Key takeaways from Inflow 💡

• Focus on growing a community first, then selling the product
  None of their videos mention the app name or the product. Connecting with your audience first can be an effective strategy for distribution.

• Use culturally relevant moments to connect with audience
  Whats trending among your target audience. What type of clips are going viral on socials? Use that.

• Memes are a great sharable piece of content
  Memes will be a great way to attract target customers. They can be masked in many different ways (ex: fade in meme) but always consist of a similar structure → Caption overlay containing relatable situation and a piece of imagery that adds to the story.
