Minor Figures Hyper Oat launch
Influencer MarketingThe Goat Agency launched Minor Figures' Hyper Oat RTD range in the UK with 24 multi-vertical creators, reporting 17M impressions, clicks 346% above KPI, and an extra £14,000 in earned media value.
About the campaign
Minor Figures was launching Hyper Oat, a ready-to-drink oat milk in four flavours, into a category new to the brand, and needed to reframe oat milk as a standalone drink rather than a milk alternative while still working out who the real target audience was. Oat milk is read as an ingredient, not something people reach for on its own, so the launch had to shift how the category itself was understood. Because the buyer was unknown, The Goat Agency built audience discovery into the launch, treating creator selection as paid audience research rather than a bet on the existing plant-based niche.
The idea briefed a deliberately broad roster of 24 micro to mid-tier creators from fashion, fitness, food, art and outdoor verticals around three pillars, Educate, Create and Connect, with latitude to show how Hyper Oat could fuel your mood in their own idiom. Content ran across Facebook, Instagram and TikTok, amplified through influencer-led and brand-led paid media that tested which verticals responded best to the new product.
The broad roster plus paid testing worked as an audience-mapping tool as much as a media plan, while the shared three-pillar brief kept messaging coherent without flattening individual voices. The Goat Agency reports 17M impressions, 6M engagements and 170K clicks, 346% above the pre-set clicks KPI, with sentiment relevancy 22% above benchmark. All figures are self-reported, with no independent source found. The clicks KPI baseline and sentiment benchmark are not disclosed, so the over-delivery claims cannot be sized, and the campaign's launch date, market and any sales impact are not stated.

Because the buyer was unknown, audience discovery had to be built into the launch itself, so creator selection could double as paid audience research instead of betting on the existing plant-based niche.

Why The Goat Agency's strategy worked
- 1
A deliberately broad creator roster can serve as paid audience research when a brand enters a new category without knowing its buyer.
- 2
A shared three-pillar brief, Educate, Create, Connect, kept messaging coherent across 24 creators without flattening their individual voice.
- 3
Running influencer-led and brand-led paid media against the same creative let the launch compare audience segments under controlled conditions.
- 4
Avoiding the obvious vegan and plant-based niche widened the addressable audience for a product that needed to be read as a drink, not a milk alternative.
