Digital marketing agency · New York

Loveborn Digital

Ongoing · September 2026

When the voice of the business couldn't speak

AI agents now talk for him

Loveborn's founder is a born salesman. Clients liked talking to him, and that was most of the business: he'd get on a call and the deal would close.

Read the full story ↓

Then a stroke affected his speech. The thing he was best at became the hardest thing to do.

We built AI agents that hold those conversations for him: answering new clients, following up, keeping work moving while he recovers. The business has kept improving since. We also built Loveborn's brand, and today we're the team behind much of the work his clients receive, under his name.

He treats us like family. We'd say the same about him.

OMP Tour and Transfer

2023 – today

The owner who never had to learn AI

3+ years and counting

On the ground, OMP ran well. Online was another story. The social media wasn't landing, and the owner had neither the time nor the patience for the technology that could fix it.

Read the full story ↓

It was 2023. ChatGPT was new, and most tour operators hadn't touched it. We set up AI agents that produce his images and posts, built so he never has to think about how any of it works. He runs tours; the content runs itself.

Then we rebuilt everything around it: a new brand and a full website. It still says “Built by Hypekind” at the bottom, and we're still working together today.

The project kept growing, and so did our part in it. Today Karan isn't just the agency on it: his role has grown into helping build the company itself.

It's the biggest thing we're working on. Launching soon.

Live since August 2026

They had the adventures. What they didn't have was a website that could take someone from an ad to a booking without losing them halfway.

Read the full story ↓

So we did it in that order: the website first, built to turn a curious visitor into a booked guest, then the ads, set up to send people straight to it.

It went live in August 2026, and it's early days: the results are coming in now.

The second start

40,000+ followers, then a fresh start

We first worked with Luis in 2023, on a single. Over time his Instagram grew past 40,000 followers.

Read the full story ↓

A few months later, someone took the account. Hacked, or a stolen phone; either way, the audience he'd built was gone overnight.

In 2026 he came back to us. He was deep in making music and careful with money, so a big campaign wasn't the answer. We gave him a lean, step-by-step plan he could run himself, built around what he could actually keep up.

He ran it. The new music has been performing well.

A portfolio nobody could see

Way past what she expected

Charu's work is beautiful. Her old website wasn't. It looked dated, and her portfolio, the one thing a new client actually wants to see, was hard to even find.

Read the full story ↓

We redesigned her brand and built a new website with her work front and center, made to carry her name further than her neighborhood.

When she saw it, she was genuinely shocked. It was a long way past what she'd expected.

A brand that matches the build

Ocean Drive's founder is a developer, and a good one. He built the app himself. What he wanted from us was for it to look as good as it works.

Read the full story ↓

We've known each other a long time, which made the brief short: he told us what the app is for and who it's for, and we gave it a brand that says so at a glance.

$0 a month to run

She came to us with a simple idea: a way to track hair care and hair growth. She expected something basic.

Read the full story ↓

We built her a real app instead: a PWA, which installs straight from the browser, works like a native app on a phone, and costs nothing to run. No App Store review, no monthly hosting bill.

It was the most ambitious UI/UX work we had taken on at that point, and we put everything into it. She was over the moon. Marketing is next. Meanwhile, try it yourself.

MS Excursion found us the best way there is: OMP Tour and Transfer told them about us.

Their problem was Google. Travelers were searching for excursions before and during their trip, and MS Excursion wasn't the name they found. We set up and ran their Google Ads so that, when someone searched, they showed up.

Posts weren't enough

From static posts to reels

They needed more clients, and they were relying on static posts. In mental health, that's a hard road. Google Ads has strict rules for the category, and a still image rarely makes someone feel safe enough to reach out.

Read the full story ↓

We built Google Ads campaigns that work inside those rules. Then we moved their content to reels: short videos, including AI-made videos, so they could show up often without a production team.

Nothing about anyone's care ever went into the marketing. That was the first rule.

A clear push in Spotify streams

Albeback thought marketing was a gimmick. He'd already tried running his own ads for his album, and not much had moved, which only proved his point.

Read the full story ↓

The ads weren't the problem. The lack of a plan behind them was. We rebuilt the campaign with a real strategy: who sees it, where, and in what order.

The album got a clear push in Spotify streams, and the numbers are public for anyone to check. These days he's one of the happiest clients we have.

The second draft

Nailed on draft two

He'd already been through a few freelancers and still didn't have a logo he'd put on his door. A friend of his was working with us, so he asked if we knew anyone good. We said we'd do it ourselves.

Read the full story ↓

The first direction missed. He was polite about it, but you could see it wasn't his. So we went back to how he talked about his shop, not to how barbershop logos usually look, and built the second one from that.

He saw it and stopped us: “Yes. This one. Done.” There was no round three.

That logo became the whole brand. We built the look around it and ran the studio's social media from there.

We started with the scripts: how each episode opens, how it flows, how it lands. We began on SEO as well, but he wanted his energy in content, not in search, so we changed course and built him a proper content marketing setup instead.

Every other door was a café

Regulars, from month four

On her block, every other door was a café, and a few of them belonged to her friends. People came in once and drifted to the next place. With no regulars, every week started from zero.

The catch: their area was crowded with barbers all advertising at once. So instead of shouting louder, we went smaller: a micro-worker strategy built for their few blocks. The details stay with them.

Bigger than where they started

Bigger than the company he left

The owner had just gone out on his own, in a trade where everyone knows everyone and work moves by word of mouth. Calls were getting missed, and a missed call in plumbing is a job that goes to someone else.

Read the full story ↓

Most plumbers we've worked with think marketing is a gimmick. This one listened. We set up automation so calls and messages turn into bookings through a bot, even when nobody can pick up.

A small change, and it did more than we expected. Today the business is bigger than the company he left. That's his and his team's hard work, not ours.

Then we looked properly and found far more wrong than we'd expected, on technology that was changing under our feet. We didn't want to let them down, so the team spent three long nights learning what we needed to, and we delivered it, with proper security added on top.

Then we taught her Google Ads, because the tools change constantly and an owner who understands them doesn't depend on anyone. Most owners take weeks to get it. She got it in one sitting. Her business more than doubled.

Meta Ads won where Google didn't

New in the business, in an area packed with other detailers who all knew each other. The plan was content plus Google Ads, the usual winner.

It didn't work. Google Ads was performing everywhere that season, just not for them, and that's rare. So we tested Meta Ads instead, and Meta did what Google couldn't.

Next door, across the street, and bigger

Marketing built on real numbers

People would join, come for a few days, then disappear. And there were gyms on every side of them: next door, across the street, bigger, and charging the same.

It was our first gym, so we started with numbers instead of guesses. For a few days, the owner reported every session: who came, who didn't, what they did. We built the marketing from that.

Google Ads brought people in. Content, with the owner in it, gave them a reason to stay. And add-on services, where each one unlocks the next, gave them a reason to stay longer.

So before changing anything, we studied why the first one worked, and then studied the new place as if we'd never heard of it. The answer was the people: every state, every market has its own rules, its own mindset, its own idea of who to trust with a home.

In real estate the whole sale is trust, so that's what we built: a brand that feels established and discreet, and ads set up to earn trust before anyone picks up the phone.

The salon was busy with basic cuts, but premium clients weren't coming. We built a content strategy and showed them the tools to produce it, before AI made that easy. We set up their bookings to work smarter, and taught them how to turn a regular booking into a personal one.
