The Digital Dept. Brand Strategy Services
Campaign Creative Strategy
We develop concepts that fit seamlessly into internet culture, shaped by how people scroll, save, share, and buy. Our Brand Team develops and executes the full ecosystem: concept, creative brief, creator cast, and rollout strategy, with platform behavior and social culture thoughtfully integrated from the beginning. From trend forecasting and cultural timing to execution and performance reporting, we design campaigns that don’t just look good in a deck, they work in-feed. Think of us as your external creative and strategy engine, built specifically for creator-led campaigns.
Best For: Brands who want bold ideas, clean execution, and a partner who can run point from start to finish.
Creator Strategy & Sourcing
Finding the right creators isn’t about follower count; it’s about fit, trust, and timing. We source, vet, and manage creators based on audience alignment, content quality, brand safety, budget efficiency, and projected performance. Because we’re deeply ingrained in the world of socials, we know who converts, who’s oversaturated, and who’s about to pop. TDD creates partnerships that feel natural to audiences without your team carrying the operational load.
Best For: Brands with an internal campaign strategy ready, looking to source the right creators.
High-Performance User-Generated Content
User-generated content is where authenticity meets performance. We cast creators specifically to deliver high-performing photo and video content optimized for your brand’s social feeds, paid media pipeline, and e-commerce site. Whether you need content that stops the scroll or converts at the bottom of the funnel, we know how to brief for both.
Best For: Brands that aren’t prioritizing distribution on creator channels, but want to leverage the social-first approach influencers take to their content—built for their brand’s needs.
Affiliate For Brands
Affiliate is no longer a “nice to have.” It’s now seen as a core part of a modern brand’s growth. We help brands build and scale affiliate programs that attract high-intent creators, motivate consistent posting, and drive measurable sales. From outreach and onboarding to content strategy and optimization, we design programs that creators want to participate in and that brands can learn from. The goal: an always-on engine that rewards creators for performance and delivers efficient growth for your brand.
Best For: Brands that need to focus on ROI and bottom funnel initiatives.
Product Gifting & Seeding
Product gifting only works when the right product lands with the right creator at the right moment. We manage the entire seeding process: sourcing the right talent, managing outreach, coordinating logistics, content tracking, and in-depth reporting. Our approach has always been quality over quantity, with a focus on relationship-building, brand education, and organic storytelling. What we’re left with is higher average placements, better quality content, stronger relationships, and real brand affinity. Whether it’s a timely launch or an ongoing, scaled gifting moment, our approach turns send-outs into genuine brand love.
Best For: Brands that want to get their product into the right hands, the right way.
Micro Trends
Wish your brand had an in-house social team ready to jump on trends before they’re over? That’s exactly what Micro Trends is built for. We monitor emerging trends, rapidly activate creators, and help brands participate in culture in real time. We do it in ways that feel natural, not forced. It’s fast, flexible, and designed to build visibility and community without long lead times.
Best For: Brands that don’t want to miss the moment on social, and need a nimble team that can respond quickly, without the cringe.
Paid Media Amplification
When something works organically, we know how to scale it smartly. Our team identifies top-performing assets and amplifies them through paid social with precision, dialing in targeting, placements, and optimization to maximize ROI. It’s not about boosting everything. It’s about backing the content the internet already told us it likes.
Best For: Brands that want to get maximum mileage out of their creator campaign content.
