When Total K9 Connection came to Kickin’ Rose Media, they had the kind of problem that’s easy to overlook from the outside: solid products, loyal customers, and zero social media momentum. The brand exists in a specific niche — dog show and grooming supplies — and that specificity made content feel harder, not easier.
No endless stream of cute dog photos. No viral moments handed to them. Just a quality product, a passionate customer base, and the challenge of building an online presence from the ground up.
Here’s what happened over 90 days.
The Starting Point
Before Kickin’ Rose Media stepped in, Total K9 Connection’s social channels were inconsistent and underleveraged. There was an existing Facebook community but engagement was inconsistent. TikTok and Instagram were barely active. Google Business was an afterthought.
The niche presented a real challenge: dog show and grooming content doesn’t have obvious viral appeal to general audiences, and the client had limited photo and video assets to pull from. Building content that felt authentic to the brand while also reaching new audiences required a clear strategy, not just a posting schedule.
What We Did
Kickin’ Rose Media implemented a multi-platform content strategy with a focus on three priorities:
- Consistency across Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, and Google Business
- Platform-native content that matched each channel’s format and audience behavior
- Educational and product-forward content that served both existing customers and cold audiences
Over the three-month period, we published 166 total posts across platforms — 82 on Instagram, 56 on Facebook, and 28 on TikTok. TikTok became a growth engine. With 28 posts published, we focused on value-driven, discoverable content that could reach audiences beyond existing followers. The results validated the approach.
The Numbers
| Platform / Metric | Total (90 Days) | Change vs. Prior Period |
|---|---|---|
| TikTok Followers | 539 | +194 followers (+56.23%) |
| TikTok Post Views | 11,060 | +8,189 views (+285.43%) |
| TikTok Likes | 430 | +376 likes (+696.30%) |
| TikTok Comments | 37 | +34 comments (+1,133.33%) |
| TikTok Shares | 25 | +24 shares (+2,400.00%) |
| TikTok Profile Views | 288 | +265 views (+1,152.17%) |
| Facebook Impressions | 69,690 | +26,580 (+61.66%) |
| Facebook Interactions | 3,229 | +1,599 (+98.10%) |
| Instagram Impressions | 11,050 | +4,929 (+80.49%) |

| Google Business Impressions | 674 | +524 (+349.33%) |
| Google Business Interactions | 254 | +178 (+234.21%) |
Total combined impressions across all platforms: over 92,000 in 90 days.
What the Data Actually Tells Us
The TikTok numbers are the headline, but they’re also the most instructive. A 56% follower growth rate isn’t a fluke — it’s the result of content that was actually reaching new people. With 68.1% of TikTok impressions coming from the For You page, the content was being surfaced to cold audiences, not just existing fans. That’s discovery. That’s how you build.
The shares metric is worth pausing on. 25 shares doesn’t sound huge, but a 2,400% increase from a near-zero baseline means people were actively passing content to others in their network. In a niche like dog show grooming, peer recommendations carry significant weight.
On Facebook, nearly doubling interactions while also growing impressions by 61% tells a clear story: more people were seeing the content, and more of them were doing something about it. Passive reach is one thing. Engagement at that scale in a 90-day window means the content was connecting.
Google Business is often the forgotten platform in social media strategies. A 349% increase in impressions and 234% increase in interactions in one quarter is significant. That’s the channel where purchase-ready customers are searching — and they’re finding it.
The Honest Part
This wasn’t magic. It was a content strategy executed consistently over 90 days in a niche that doesn’t make content easy. The challenge with Total K9 Connection was never the quality of the product — it was creating content volume and variety when the visual assets are limited and the audience is specific.
What worked: platform-specific thinking, educational content that served the customer first, and a consistent publishing cadence that built algorithm trust over time.
The growth isn’t just in the numbers. It’s in the infrastructure now in place — active accounts, growing audiences, and content that’s doing discovery work across every channel simultaneously.
What This Looks Like for Your Business
If you’re a niche product brand, a service business, or any company that’s been sitting on untapped social channels — this is what a real 90-day strategy looks like. Not viral moments and lucky breaks. Consistent, intentional content that compounds over time.
Kickin’ Rose Media specializes in strategy-backed content for brands that want real traction, not vanity metrics. If you want to talk through what this could look like for your business, let’s grab coffee.
