CASE STUDY – From Mortgage Broker to Influencer: How Aura Creations Catapulted Braiden Shaw to Social Media Stardom

Ever wondered how a mortgage broker transformed into a social media sensation with over a million followers in less than a year? Buckle up as we unveil the journey of Braiden Shaw, aka @braiden.fulcrum, and how Aura Creations Marketing orchestrated this meteoric rise.

The Starting Point: Niche Content with Limited Reach

Braiden Shaw, CEO of Fulcrum Home Loans, began his social media journey focusing solely on mortgage-related content. While informative, this niche approach attracted a limited audience. Recognizing the need for broader appeal, we analyzed his content pillars and identified personal finance as the overarching theme—a subject resonating with a vast audience seeking financial literacy.

Strategic Shift: Broadening Horizons

Understanding that approximately 90% of Americans desire better financial literacy, we expanded Braiden's content to encompass general personal finance topics. This strategic pivot allowed us to cast a wider net, engaging a broader audience eager for financial guidance.

Research-Driven Content Creation

We delved into the financial content landscape, scrutinizing top-performing videos, articles, and blogs. This research informed our scripting and filming of new content tailored to everyday Americans seeking financial knowledge. By aligning our messaging with slogans like "Where Research Meets Reward" and "Challenging the Broken Blueprint," we crafted a narrative that resonated deeply with viewers.

The Viral Surge: Metrics That Matter

Our approach paid off spectacularly. Braiden's platforms experienced an average growth of 100,000 followers per month, with each video garnering around 400,000 views. Cumulatively, his content amassed over 100 million views across all platforms in 2024.

Monetization Milestones: Beyond Followers

This explosive growth translated into tangible business success. Braiden diversified his revenue streams through new business ventures, digital product launches, and online communities. Notably, his mortgage business, Fulcrum Home Loans, witnessed significant gains, contributing to millions in revenue across his enterprises.

Key Takeaways: Crafting Content That Converts
