About

Founded in 2011, leading bone conduction technology retailer Shokz has reached record growth – in 2019 alone, they saw 55% YoY sales growth. When they moved their headquarters to Austin, Texas in 2020, it was official – they needed a trustworthy agency partner to scale with them.

A tough pandemic year shook things further. With a growing demand, Shokz struggled to address a growing amount of negative customer sentiment online, and a lagging customer response time. Their internal teams weren’t built for customer service and insights at scale.

They partnered with ICUC, and within just one year, the two teams saw major changes in Shokz customer sentiment.

“With ICUC, we cut a 5 hour response time in half, and saw a 10K item jump in engagement. These shifts have been paramount to our brand community’s health and our ability to share our products with the world.”

About

“As the campaign launched, we watched all these brands come in and join the campaign, which as a social media professional, is huge. I mean, I can retire now (kidding). Kimpton and Massage Envy joked about wanting a massage bed -- not a bad idea now that I think about it!”

About

International restaurant brand Chili’s focuses on technological innovation by enhancing digital guest experiences and prioritizing infrastructure. In 2013, they revolutionized casual dining with Ziosk® tabletop tablets, now on over 70,000 tables nationwide. Technology has been crucial for Chili’s to manage brand engagement on social media—until TikTok and other platforms stretched resources thin.

Faced with TikTok's challenges and opportunities, especially during COVID-19, Chili’s needed a reliable partner to optimize its presence and improve its community and content strategy. They partnered with ICUC to enhance TikTok community management and elevate social media strategy. “When budget cuts were necessary during the pandemic, ICUC was the only agency we kept because we couldn't continue without their support,” stated Liz Bickert.
