Mindvalley, a leading educational technology company, had a respectable social media presence with around 300,000 followers on Instagram and Facebook, but their content wasn't yielding exceptional results. The company was stuck in the traditional marketing strategy, unaware that this approach would not work in today’s social landscape. They partnered with Hook Point to engineer a new social media strategy.

After Brendan Kane, founder of Hook Point, spoke at one of Mindvalley’s global retreats, Vishen and his team knew they wanted to partner with Hook Point. Hook Point interfaced with Mindvalley’s team to create formats and scripts that pushed the company’s message–not brand–on social media. The iterative, systematic process also showed the team how to use specific metrics to define virality and research content formats.

The partnership was a masterclass in virality. Hook Point helped train Mindvalley's social media team on Hook Points and storytelling, engineered social media campaigns on Facebook and Instagram, realigned their internal communication strategy, brainstormed content formats and scripts, and leveraged influencer strategy.
