Gorgie did not just market on TikTok. The brand was built on it, from product concept to flavor selection to the faces on their cans.

Digital Project Manager Enil Shale Moon explains how building a community-first strategy on TikTok, cultivating a wide network of affiliates, and running GMV Max campaigns helped Gorgie become the number one fastest growing energy drink in the natural channel. Moon walks through how Gorgie used TikTok to crowdsource product decisions in real time, how a test launch of a new powder format sold out within weeks driven entirely by affiliate videos, and how a both breadth and depth approach to creator partnerships has become one of their most powerful growth engines. For Gorgie, TikTok is not just a marketing channel. It is where the brand lives.
