The Brief
Kickstarter campaigns for collectible products live and die on launch momentum — the first 48–72 hours determine whether a campaign reaches trending status and benefits from Kickstarter’s own promotion algorithm. Gaiaton needed to drive significant backer volume immediately at launch rather than building gradually, requiring a Meta advertising strategy timed and structured around the campaign window.
