Shader, a new AI-enhanced social camera. It takes just 10-15 seconds to generate an AR experience, and all that is needed is a smartphone and the Shader app. It provinces a new way to make videos with its AR-first video creation tool that anyone can use.
Shader approached us with the objectives:
1. evaluate the idea with the audience
2. check the product market fit for the startup
3. attract investors and secure a loyal user base for their innovative mobile video creation tool.
With the app in its beta phase, our mission was to create a compelling video and develop a landing page. Subsequently, we expanded the site, incorporating additional pages featuring enlightening articles from the client. Additionally, we were entrusted with crafting a powerful presentation for participation in the AWE XR tech conference, targeting investors and young people aged 15 to 25.
Working in close collaboration with the client, the SLON team undertook a meticulous and strategic approach to help Shader achieve their goals. We leveraged our expertise in marketing and digital media to develop a comprehensive solution that would effectively communicate the value and potential of the app to investors and users alike.
The shooting video showcased the app’s unique capabilities and its seamless integration of AI technology. The client used the video in User Research, Users Tests and other evaluating methods. The video was also shown to the investors and served as a persuasive tool, showing the app’s potential.
The one-page landing page became a captivating gateway for users, offering a glimpse into the immersive world of Shader. Its design and content effectively communicated the app’s features and benefits, enticing users to explore and engage with the application.
The presentation crafted by SLON Media for the AWE XR conference was met with resounding success. Through compelling visuals and a well-crafted narrative, we captivated the attention of both investors and the potential users. The presentation showcased Shader as a revolutionary tool that empowers users to unleash their creativity and connect through AR experiences.
The presentation proved to be extremely successful at the conference and Shader has used it many times for their pitches.
Our strategic marketing approach, combined with our creative expertise, enabled Shader to achieve its goals of attracting investors, expanding its user base, and establishing itself as a leader in the AR-first mobile video creation landscape.

1. Community growth of first users who organically came to Discord: 350 users.
