Industry: D2C Skincare | Company Size: 5-10 employees | Timeline: 6 weeks

The Challenge

Scaling personalized skincare meant scaling content creation

Rudiment was struggling to maintain consistent content across TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn, and their newsletter while launching their revolutionary DNA-based skincare line. Their team was spending 25+ hours weekly just researching and brainstorming content ideas, leaving little time for actual creation and community engagement. They needed a solution that could generate relevant, science-backed content ideas at scale.

Key Pain Points:

  • 🔴 2 marketers spending 50% of time on content ideation

  • 🔴 Inconsistent posting schedule hurting algorithm performance

  • 🔴 Missing trending topics in the fast-moving skincare space

  • 🔴 $10K+ monthly cost for content team with limited output
