105 product exchange influencers.
Cane Brew wanted more than pretty content.
They needed steady brand visibility, real creator activity, and sales impact.
As part of Cane Brew’s social media management package, Cool Nerds Marketing also handled influencer management.
The goal was simple.
Get Cane Brew into more hands, more feeds, and more buying moments.
In four months, Cool Nerds Marketing hand-sourced and managed 105 product exchange influencers.
These creators helped generate more than 1 million views across social content.
The program also helped drive stronger website activity, retail interest, and TikTok Shop traction.
This was not a random gifting campaign.
It was a hands-on creator program built to keep content moving every month.
The team sourced influencers, managed outreach, handled coordination, and kept product flowing to creators who fit the brand.
When Cool Nerds Marketing began directing influencers to TikTok Shop, the impact started quickly.

@mamawgailcooks @Cane Brew Sweet Tea ❤️ Ingredients: • Cold water • 1 Cane Brew tea bag Instructions: • Drop tea bag into a half gallon pitcher • Fill with cold water • Let steep 8–20 minutes (the longer it steeps, the sweeter it gets!) • Give it a good stir That’s it, y’all! Now y’all know I always keep sweet tea in the refrigerator. The grandkids come in wantin’ a glass every time, and usually my husband’s gotta boil water, squeeze the bags, add sugar, stir it all up, and then we’re waitin’ on it to cool down. But with this… in about 14 minutes I had the perfect sweetness for me. It don’t get much easier than that. I tried several flavors – strawberry, peach, decaf, sweet tea, and unsweet – and they’ve got even more to choose from. I’m such a big fan, and so far everybody in the family that’s tried it has absolutely loved it! I believe after all these years of usin’ the same tea brand… I might just be switchin’ to Cane Brew. This one’s got Mamaw Gail’s stamp of approval ❤️ Y’all go try you some Cane Brew! #canebrew #canebrewpartner #sweettea #ad #MamawGailCooks

First-week TikTok Shop results included:
These results came in the first week of pushing influencer traffic toward TikTok Shop.
That matters because it showed early proof that creator-led traffic could turn into direct shopping activity.
The bigger win was not just one week of sales.
It was building a repeatable system.
A system that gave Cane Brew fresh content, constant creator mentions, social proof, and new paths to purchase.
Why this mattered for Cane Brew
Cane Brew did not just get influencer posts.
They got consistent creator output tied to a real social strategy.
That helped the brand show up across organic social, creator pages, and shopping channels.
It also gave Cane Brew more chances to win in three places at once:
- On social feeds
- On TikTok Shop
- At retail and online purchase points
