Challenge
Zach Hudson, Co-Founder and CEO of Onton, had recently fundraised and was prepping the company for scale. He knew their product sat at the intersection of multiple competitive consumer markets — interior design, search, and AI — and that reaching the next level of hypergrowth required separating their product from the noise. His strategy was to establish market authority by leveraging impactful, user-first content. For that, they needed a powerful content strategy with end-to-end execution.
