Scaling brand reach and GMV with a CPM contest that activated 676 creators

MaryRuth's TikTok Shop creator campaign
Overview

MaryRuth's is a widely loved wellness brand with a strong ecommerce presence. The team wanted to significantly increase visibility on TikTok Shop and convert that reach into revenue.

They needed a way to mobilize a large creator network, amplify brand messaging, and drive measurable GMV growth through authentic content at scale. Euka Contests let the team leverage their existing creator community, expand it with new creators, and run multiple contests through a single platform.

The challenge

Visibility meant mobilizing creators at scale.

MaryRuth's needed exponential reach. Visibility on TikTok Shop required hundreds of creators posting across every niche of the platform. The brand needed a strategy that encouraged mass participation, rewarded reach, and reactivated dormant creators who had previously stopped posting.

Why Euka

A platform built to launch contests fast.

MaryRuth's selected Euka because the platform gave them the flexibility and speed needed to scale their TikTok Shop creator engine. Euka made it easy to launch CPM-based contests in minutes and reward creators for every 1,000 views, creating instant posting momentum. Automated outreach and onboarding removed hours of manual coordination, while incentive management tools kept their programs structured and performance-driven. The CRM helped re-engage inactive creators and maintain consistent posting activity across the roster, and comprehensive analytics provided clear visibility into video output, GMV lift, and creator-level impact.

Strategy

A CPM contest built on clear incentives.

MaryRuth's built its creator engine around a CPM-style contest launched directly through Euka. Creators earned $4 for every 1,000 video views, creating a clear and immediate performance incentive. Participants were given up to 35% off campaign products to encourage sampling and authentic content creation, and traffic boosts were layered in to reward consistent posting. Euka's platform handled the entire operational workflow — onboarding, tracking, payouts, and reminder sequences — letting the team focus on scale rather than manual coordination.

Execution

Participation surged as incentives compounded.

Creator participation surged as MaryRuth's combined automated outreach with strong incentive rewards. 676 creators joined the campaign, producing more than 7,500 videos across a wide range of niches, with several top creators individually surpassing 1.8 million views and $60K+ in GMV. The brand also revived its dormant creator community — 136 previously inactive creators returned, driving a 77.8% increase in posting activity and a 657% rise in total video views.

Results

A CPM contest that mobilized 676 creators.
