Stepathon is a gamified step-counting competition platform used by companies across 35+ countries to increase employee engagement and wellbeing. In 2025, they expanded into the US market and needed to build brand awareness among HR leaders.
The challenge
The founders had deep product knowledge, strong client results, and a compelling founder story. But like most founders, they had no time to figure out what kind of content to create or how to create it.
They knew they need a combination of high quality content and consistent outreach to start meaningful conversations with HR leaders at enterprise companies. They needed to build trust and visibility first, so that when they reached out, people already had a sense of who they were and what Stepathon stood for.
As Cristi explained: "Before working with Daniel, we didn't quite have the time or ideas to figure out what kind of content to produce."
What we did
We conducted structured interviews with both co-founders, Radu and Cristi. We used these recorded interviews to extract their product knowledge, founder journey, vision, and the core value Stepathon brings to HR teams.
Capturing Radu and Cristi’s authentic voice
The content wasn't generic wellness industry fluff. It came directly from the founders' own words, how they built the platform, why employee engagement matters, and the real results their clients were seeing across 35+ countries.
As Radu described it: "The content emphasized core features of our product as well as our vision, values and founder journey."
Content as the foundation for outreach
The content served as a trust-building foundation for Stepathon's outreach efforts. When the founders reached out to enterprise HR leaders, those people could visit their profiles and immediately see relevant, credible, founder-led content, not empty profiles with no activity.
The result
This combination of high-quality content and targeted outreach helped Stepathon book relevant meetings with enterprise HR leaders in the US market. The content built the trust. The outreach started the conversation. Together, they opened doors that cold outreach alone never would have.
Cristi put it simply: "The ROI has been fantastic and the entire process was super easy and smooth. From that one single session we got more than a month's worth of high quality content."
Radu added: "I highly recommend Daniel to any founder that wants to get his message across to his audience in a clear and simplified manner."
