Short recap of the project:
In an age of AI overload, Hypefury is taking a thoughtful, stand-out approach. We tapped into their powerful community, featuring OGs who built using the product.
It’s not about the machine; it’s about the stories behind real people.

This is our first famous client, and it’s completely different from what we’re used to.
No meetings, no Slack, no client portal—just DMs.
Decisions and feedback are short and to the point.
They value and protect their time, while expecting and valuing our expertise.

My friends enjoyed it, so I tagged Yannick the co-founder for the love of design.
And he replied!

Back in May, we did a design roast of the Hypefury website. It totally flopped—no reach, likes, or shares.
