Case 01 · Solo Creator · Personal Finance

0 → 47k followers in 90 days with one approver

Problem

A personal-finance educator was posting twice a week on TikTok and Instagram with stagnant 200-500 view averages. She had no workflow — she wrote drafts in Notes, then forgot to post for days at a time.

Case 02 · D2C Brand · Skincare

Launched 4 channels in week one, 1.2M impressions in month one

Problem

A founder-led skincare brand had a soft launch with no marketing hire. The founder was wearing every hat — product, fulfilment, ads, social — and the social channels were dark for the first two weeks.

Case 03 · Marketing Agency · 8 client portfolio

Cut agency content production time by 71% across 8 clients

Problem

A 3-person micro-agency was burning out trying to manage 8 client social calendars manually. Each client needed 3-5 posts/week across 2-3 platforms — and the team was working 60-hour weeks just to keep up.

Methodology

How we measure these results

Every case study pulls baseline metrics from the customer's own platform analytics (TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest etc.) before and after they connected CortexViral. Posts published, time saved, and revenue uplift are self-reported by the customer. Anonymised names are real customers; non-anonymised quotes are published with written consent.
