- The $356,000 marketing angle we accidentally found
The $356,000 marketing angle we accidentally found
It started with a viral TikTok...
Hey, Michael from AdSumo Digital here.
Last year, a 6-million view TikTok changed everything for one of our clients.
Not because it went viral.
But because it uncovered a marketing angle so powerful, it took their revenue from $30,000 to $356,000 per month when it was scaled it across all channels.
Here's the crazy part...
Most brands are sitting on angles this powerful. They just don't know how to find them.
Instead, they're planning their email campaigns with surface-level "ideas" like:
"Product feature email"
"Why buy from us email"
"Benefits overview email"
Boring. Generic. And worst of all?Any competitor can copy them.
The brands who are crushing it? They think differently.
Let me explain...
When we saw that TikTok hit 6 million views, we knew we had more than just a viral moment. We had uncovered a marketing angle that clearly resonated with their audience.
So the team took that exact same angle and scaled it across EVERY marketing channel:
Email campaigns
Ad copy
Landing pages
Product pages
Social content
The result?
$356,000 in monthly revenue.
From ONE angle.
This is why developing strong angles is so crucial for your email calendar.
Let me show you another example...
One of our clients [[REDACTED]] sells blue-green algae supplements. Instead of just saying "take algae for better health," we developed angles around:
The only lake in the world where this specific algae can be harvested in bulk
Their unique flash-freezing process that preserves nutrient density
Why regular dried algae supplements can't match these results
See the difference?
Generic idea: "Try our algae supplement!"
Strategic angle: "Why this one lake produces the world's most powerful algae"
Strategic angle: "The 30-minute window that makes our algae different"
This isn't just theory. We're seeing this work across every vertical.
Here's how to apply this to your email calendar:
Map Your Month First
Before writing a single email, plan:
2-4 campaigns per week
Mix of brand building and sales
Authority and trust-building content
Product-focused emails
Develop Angles (Not Ideas)
For each product-focused email, ask:
What's our unique problem/solution?
What specific mechanism makes our product work?
What unexpected angle can we take?
Why does our approach work when others fail?
Test & Scale Winners
When an angle works:
Test it in flows
Use it in campaigns
Adapt it for other products
Scale it across channels
Here's a real example calendar:
Week 1:
Why most supplements lose potency before you take them
The 30-minute window that changes everything
Customer success story
Intro Offer Push to Non Buyers
Week 2:
Behind the scenes: Harvesting from nature's perfect source
The flash-freezing difference explained
Expert interview
Bundle Flash Sale
Week 3:
The problem with dried supplements
Why traditional processing destroys nutrients
Our unique preservation method
Special bundle offer
Week 4:

Notice how each week builds a complete story - not just random product emails?
Look, here's the truth:
Finding and scaling the right angles isn't just about better emails. It's about transforming your entire business.
That client who went from $30k to $356k? They didn't just change their emails. They found ONE powerful angle and scaled it everywhere.
The brands who think deeper about their angles are the ones who win.
