The Challenge

Where They Started

A master craftsman with beautiful work but no way to reach customers beyond word of mouth. They needed a digital presence that matched the quality of their craftsmanship. Their existing social media was sporadic and didn't showcase the true artistry of their work.

Our Approach

What We Did

We created stunning visual content showcasing their craft and process, built a social media strategy around their story and heritage, and targeted homeowners and interior designers in their region who were looking for custom pieces.

Tactics Used

The Playbook

Process documentation videos (time-lapses, technique close-ups)

Targeted ads to homeowners and interior designers

Pinterest strategy for long-term organic discovery

Instagram Reels showcasing craftsmanship

Cross-promotion with local interior design firms

"I was skeptical about social media for a woodworking shop, but Sidechain showed me how to tell our story in a way that resonates with customers. Now I have a waitlist for the first time in 15 years of business."
