My first venture was a company that taught parkour and integrated the concept into gyms and existing exercise programs. I found every person that I knew who could do a flip or vault a wall and gave them a shirt telling them when you wear the shirt do one AWESOME thing in a public space. Within a week I had to hire another person to manage our inbox.

EASIEST campaign I've ever run haha.

My later ones have been less linear unfortunately.
