Success Story of the Week: Noelle Ireland & Mini Katana

Find out how Noelle Ireland, former Director of Content at Mini Katana, aided the brand’s growth from 1,000 to over 15 million subscribers in under 2 years, hitting an annual revenue of over $10 million.

With limitations on paid advertising, their primary focus became organic short-form content, particularly YouTube Shorts. Establishing an in-house content team was another pivotal move; it grew to about 15 people, ensuring quality and story integration.

About 80% of their efforts were directed toward achieving virality through product education and content creation, which taught them the importance of average view duration and swipe-through rate for YouTube. This strategy was applied to multiple brands with success. Processes and iterative improvement, along with consistent quality posting, drove their success.
