Brand identity development & sub-account distribution

Year

2023

Our founder worked as part of Iman Gadzhi's 10-person content team, where they built his branded content engine from scratch and pioneered the sub-account distribution strategy now becoming industry standard.

Over 19 months, they transformed his digital presence from a single YouTube channel with no visual identity into a multi-platform ecosystem spanning 30+ branded accounts, generating 5B+ views and scaling from 1.98M to 5.21M subscribers.

The Challenge

  1. No visual brand identity — Generic "colorful caption" style with zero differentiation.

  2. Single-channel distribution — Content limited to one YouTube channel with no short-form strategy

  3. No scaling framework — No existing system for multi-platform branded content distribution

  4. Growth plateau risk — Needed to scale past 1.98M subscribers while building recognizable brand presence

Objectives

  • Build instant brand recognition — Create a distinctive visual identity that audiences recognize immediately across any platform

  • Pioneer multi-platform distribution — Launch and grow branded sub-accounts across all major short-form platforms

  • Scale without sacrificing quality — Produce thousands of videos while maintaining brand consistency on every piece

  • Drive measurable growth — Funnel traffic from sub-accounts to main channel for subscriber growth

Our Strategy

  1. Brand Identity System — Designed custom visual identity from scratch that replaced generic colorful Alex Hormozi styled captions with instantly recognizable branded style

  2. Sub-Account Distribution Network — Launched 30+ branded accounts (ImanGadzhiReels, ImanGadzhiWisdom, etc.) across Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and Snapchat

  3. Branded Content at Scale — Produced 7,000+ branded short-form videos a month where every piece reinforced brand while maximizing platform reach

  4. Strategic Traffic Funneling — Used data-driven posting schedules and platform optimization to drive sub-account audiences to main channel as well as launch events
