About the campaign

Working professionals and young adults aged 25 to 34 filed Evernote under simple note-taking and did not associate it with broader productivity across finance, business, journalism and personal projects. HireInfluence's read was that a utility product's value is easier to demonstrate than to claim: audiences trust what they can see working inside someone's real routine more than what a brand says about itself, and the campaign still had to end in a paid upgrade rather than goodwill.

#DoMoreWithEvernote enlisted 10 creators on YouTube and Instagram, with audiences in business, finance, literature and lifestyle, to document how they actually use the app at work, at home and in their hobbies. Each produced screen-recorded walkthroughs, how-to videos and project-based demonstrations that closed on a recommendation to purchase Evernote Professional, letting viewers picture their own use case rather than watch scripted endorsement.

The logic was that matched creator audiences and consistent commercial asks would carry viewers from watching to buying, and a video-led format let a small roster deliver large reported numbers. Content ran on YouTube and Instagram, and HireInfluence reports 2.3M reach, 3.2M impressions, 3.2M video views and 339K engagements. No conversion, sales or subscription figures were disclosed, the creator tier mix is described inconsistently across the agency's own page, and no independent source describing the campaign was found.

Case in 60 seconds

Working professionals and young adults aged 25 to 34 saw Evernote as a basic note-taking app and did not associate it with broader productivity uses across finance, business, journalism and personal projects.

The product's value is easier to demonstrate than to claim, so creators showing the app doing real work in their own projects would be more persuasive than brand messaging.

Have creators document how they actually use Evernote at work, at home and in their hobbies, then point their audiences to Evernote Professional.

10 influencers on YouTube and Instagram, with audiences in business, finance, literature and lifestyle, produced screen-recorded walkthroughs, how-to videos and project-based demonstrations, each ending in a recommendation to purchase Evernote Professional.

The agency reports 2.3M reach, 3.2M impressions, 3.2M video views and 339K engagements across the two platforms. No conversion or sales figures were disclosed, and no independent verification was found.

  3. 3

    A consistent commercial ask, every piece pointed to Evernote Professional rather than a vague brand message.

    A small roster can deliver large reported numbers when the format is video-led and educational, 10 creators produced 3.2M reported video views.
