Success story

Rookie is a health and wellness supplement company founded in 2021. Its mission is to empower individuals on their wellness journey by providing health products and resources.

Cheyanne Pettyjohn is a one-person influencer marketing team. She runs a commission-based ambassador program with 30-50 active creators at a time. Her main goal is to build an engaged brand community to generate awareness and help Rookie solidify its place in a competitive market. 

The challenge

Build a world-class creator program with a small team.

Building a powerful brand community doesn’t come without challenges—especially with just one person managing about 50 active creator partnerships per month.

Cheyanne needs to find ways to

  • Discover and recruit creators who align with Rookie’s mission and values.
  • Follow up with new recruits and existing partnerships to make sure connections don’t die or get lost in the shuffle.  
  • Track success metrics for each partnership to identify top performers and work with others struggling to convert.  
  • Nurture long-term relationships with key players in Rookie’s brand community.

GRIN gives us a huge advantage in our space. It basically acts as an affiliate marketing assistant and helps me complete tasks that would otherwise be a full day’s worth of work.

I have used platforms that are the bare bones, and it makes doing the 12 separate jobs of an affiliate marketing team at once exhausting. But GRIN offers so many tools that I rarely feel overwhelmed with my daily tasks.
