When Halley Studios launched on Vyete in early 2025, founder Remi Clarke had one goal: reach 100,000 engaged followers by year end. What actually happened was far more dramatic.
Starting From Scratch (Almost)
Halley Studios entered Vyete with a polished brand identity and a modest 10,000-strong following migrated from their existing channels. The product — handcrafted homeware with West African design influences — was strong. Distribution was the challenge.
The Turning Point: Vyete Campaign Builder
Six weeks in, the team activated their first Vyete campaign: a brand awareness push targeting home décor enthusiasts aged 25–40 in London, Manchester, and Lagos. The results landed in 48 hours.
"We saw 4,000 new profile visits in the first weekend. Nothing we'd done before came close." — Remi Clarke, Founder, Halley Studios
The secret wasn't magic — it was precision. Vyete's audience segmentation surfaced their products to people who'd already engaged with similar brands, dramatically reducing wasted spend.
What Changed in 12 Months
By Q1 2026, Halley Studios had:
- 32,000 community members on Vyete
- 300% year-on-year revenue growth
- 4 campaign series run through Vyete Brand Hub
- A spot in Vyete's inaugural Brand Spotlight editorial feature
The brand also credits Vyete's analytics dashboard for helping them identify that Sunday evenings drove 40% of their weekly engagement — a data point that now shapes their entire content calendar.
The Bigger Picture
Halley Studios is one of dozens of independent brands that have found outsized growth on Vyete in 2025–2026. The platform's blend of community commerce, brand tools, and editorial visibility is creating a new path for brands that don't have the budget of legacy players.
"Vyete levels the field," Clarke says. "We compete with brands 10x our size because the platform rewards authenticity and community, not just ad spend."
