No Budget, No Problem: How Precision Gifting Turned Unpaid Outreach Into Exceptional Results

Approach

OBJECTIVE

When COTY approached Disrupt to amplify the launch of ‘BOSS Bottled Beyond’, the challenge was clear: drive authentic content creation and meaningful awareness without a paid creator budget to lean on. The send itself was considered, pairing the new men's fragrance with an exclusive branded mocktail kit designed to give lifestyle creators something genuinely worth posting about. Success would come down to who was asked, not how much was spent.

SOLUTION

The right creator, approached in the right way, doesn't need paying to post. Disrupt used existing campaign data to build a shortlist of creators already proven to engage with the BOSS brand, identifying profiles whose audiences, aesthetic, and content habits made them a natural fit for the campaign. Where client expectations needed to be managed, Disrupt provided the evidence to back up every recommendation. The campaign launched across Black Friday and the pre-Christmas window before being extended into January, where the branded mocktail kit gave creators a timely and authentic Dry January hook. No budget. No guesswork.

RESULTS

An 83% post rate across 75 gifted creators is exceptional by any measure. For an unpaid campaign, where no contractual obligation to post exists, it is remarkable. Sixty-three pieces of content were generated organically across Instagram and TikTok, driving over 1 million total impressions and engagement rates that left industry benchmarks behind. Instagram in-feed averaged 4.15% against a sector benchmark of 1-2%. TikTok averaged 5.27% against a benchmark of 3-5%. In-feed impression rates told the same story: 53.3% on Instagram versus a benchmark of 15-20%, and 29.3% on TikTok against a benchmark of 5-10%.

COTY recognised the difficulty of the landscape and the quality of the thinking that went into navigating it. Off the back of this work, Disrupt has been invited to pitch for a longer-term ambassadorship with the brand. That is what getting it right looks like.
