Case study
Allstate, the insurance powerhouse, approached Sundae with an exciting challenge: to ignite brand awareness among new motorcyclists. They wanted to make a strong statement in the motorcycle insurance market and catch the eye of this adventurous crowd.
Premium Content Creators
Sundae identified motorcycle enthusiasts with the ability to capture compelling stories around motorcycle culture and authentically connect with their followers. This crew of premium content creators was enlisted to serve not only as talent but also as producers and videographers for a broader pool of riders and influencers.
Strategic Content Platform
Sundae devised a social content platform that was as exhilarating as a wind-in-your-hair ride. Tapping into awe-inspiring scenes and unforgettable moments, creators shared their very first experiences on a motorcycle, effectively connecting Allstate with the emotions and aspirations of new motorcyclists.
Allowlisting and Paid Social
Optimizing the long-form videos for various ad placements, Sundae deployed the content in paid social to reach a vast national audience. Allowlisting (running the ads from the content creators’ own social media channels) was used to maximize viewership and engagement.
Results
Allstate’s collaboration with Sundae yielded impressive results, significantly improving brand recall and exceeding campaign goals.
Improved Brand Recall The initiative achieved a 5.6% improvement in brand recall, indicating successful brand engagement and retention among the new motorcyclist audience.

When Kabrita approached Sundae in the U.S. and Canada, they needed a way to drive higher engagement and performance from social content that resonated with their North American audience of parents and caregivers. Kabrita’s goat-milk-based infant formula offers a unique alternative to the more common cow-based options, but positioning this benefit effectively was a challenge in a highly competitive market. The goal was to establish Kabrita as a trusted, go-to brand for parents and caregivers who prioritize high-quality, digestible infant nutrition.
