Liver King

Social media sensation from scratch.

Mission

After receiving thousands of personal anecdotes via his own glandular supplements brand, Liver King was hungry to bring the Ancestral message and mission to the rest of the world.

Cant let a bloodthirsty viking warrior go hungry.

LIVER 
KING

This mission would be complete when a Real Badass Barbarian of virtually no social presence could be recognized as the CEO of Ancestral Living beyond a single social platform. At this point, the journey to transform millions of lives would be far from over. The World Domination would simply begin.

Liver King would emerge online as a savage beast with deep-rooted purpose and intent. An emotionally-driven “why” video was the prelude to every action and piece of advice that followed… including eating Liver,

Because Liver is king!

Leading with context was crucial to positioning Liver King’s role on greater purpose in life.

Building
Liver King...

the makings of a viral sensation

FROM sapien FORGED A ROBUST
PERSONAL BRAND.

Liver King is, by nature, a man you don’t forget. Together, we would identify and double down on his most distinct behaviors and communication style, to build memory structures and optimize the Ancestral message for social circulation.

A logo of

Liver King
proportions was created…

inspired by his unmistakable bearded visage and stripped-back lifestyle. An imposing Celtic symbol was selected to represent each of Liver King’s 9 Ancestral Tenets – to simplify communication, trigger emotion and encourage early adoption. A desaturated color palette was derived from natural, ancient pigments, and was honored fairly by an eroded, ultimately grungy font.

A fandom was named, all before their icon had set foot on the earth.

Liver King needed to be able to personally address his audience – in order to deepen The bond,
inspire collective action, and establish himself as a respected authority. The term “Primal” was coined, in reference to every individual who has the capacity (and the willingness) to restore their primal state of being.

liver King adopted a website fit for a King.

Primals would defer to this location (over 1M times) for essential LK resources. An incredibly interactive design tells the story of the King himself, whilst housing meal plans and favorite recipes, tenet explainers, and opportunities for further learning.

We unleashed the beast
– on Instagram and TikTok.

To follow a compelling launch video (above), Liver King’s social strategy was defined by the 9 Ancestral Tenets and the thousands of highly-engaging ways we could convey them. We chose dominant standards only, optimizing creative concepts entirely for their intended platform. Top-performing content was analyzed and templatized. Concepts were tweaked, elevated, and served with even MOOOAAAR preparation, energy, and innovation than last time.

Weekly YouTube uploads were added to the menu.

After gaining early traction on short-form platforms, it was time for Liver King to execute another insane effort.

If you’re not growing, you’re dying.

Long-form YouTube videos, accompanied by YouTube Shorts, would grant Primals yet another window into the world of Liver King.

Liver King launched
an e-book for the modern-day primal,

aptly named The 9 Ancestral Tenets. This downloadable guide would bestow thousands of captivated Primals (10,000 on launch day) with the tools required to kickstart and sustain their own Ancestral journey. Sustain they would too – Primals have revisited the indispensable resource over 220k times.
