Most DTC brands launch with a product and hope people care. Club Neuro did the opposite.

Before even selling a single item, they built:
✅ 25M views
✅ 250,000+ social followers
✅ A waitlist of thousands
✅ A thriving private community

In this solo episode of D2C Diaries, Loukas breaks down exactly how he built a creator-led brand from scratch, leveraging organic content, community-first strategies, and the power of the right creator to drive explosive engagement.

Tune in to learn:

1. Why he started with faceless content before introducing a creator
2. How he scouted, vetted, and partnered with the right creator
3. The strategy behind building demand before launching a product
4. What most brands get wrong about creator-led growth

If you’re thinking about launching a brand in 2025, this episode is a must-listen. Loukas breaks down how his SHAEC framework helped him to select the perfect creator to lead the brand.
