Doubling Social Engagement for an
Industrial Manufacturing Brand
- Evology Manufacturing
What’s the story?
Evology Manufacturing has been with us since day one.
Sean and his team signed on when MetaMartini launched in 2022,
and they’ve been one of our strongest referral partners ever since.
This case study focuses on how we helped a decidedly
non-glamorous industry; production additive manufacturing,
achieve breakout social growth in 2025.
The Challenge
Additive manufacturing is brilliant, technical, and wildly important…but it’s not exactly the type of content most people double-tap between comedic reels and sports highlights.
The challenge was twofold:
Make prototyping and 3D production feel human, accessible, and interesting.
Grow Evology’s audience while educating them, not overwhelming them with engineering-heavy concepts.
Most manufacturers struggle to build social engagement above
“courtesy likes.”
We wanted to build something that actually resonated.
Strategy
We started by shifting the conversation.
Instead of speaking like engineers to engineers, we reframed Evology’s social presence as a resource for anyone curious about how things get made.
The goal wasn’t to sell a single service. The goal was to help people understand the magic behind additive manufacturing.
Once engagement started climbing, we leaned into what the audience
kept coming back for: Automotive, Aerospace, and Generative Design.
Not as gimmicks, but as real-world applications that showed
additive tech in the wild.
By focusing on education, relevance, and genuine curiosity, we built a brand voice that felt more like a knowledgeable guide, rather than a manufacturing shop.
Execution
We tested everything; formats, hooks, scripts, topics, pacing.
Then we doubled down on
what worked.
Short-form videos breaking down processes without too much engineering jargon.
Paired text-based insights with high-quality prototyping
visuals from the Evology team.Showcased parts used in automotive builds, aerospace components,
space exploration use cases, and everyday products people
didn’t realize relied on additive tech.Alternated video styles (talking-head, hands-on demos, macro shots, carousel breakdowns) to keep the feed fresh.
Engaged directly with commenters, engineers, hobbyists, and curious bystanders, helping Evology become a brand people could talk to,
not just observe.
Little by little, a highly technical manufacturing company became an approachable, educational, and surprisingly
entertaining social presence.
Why it worked
People don’t connect with machines, they connect with meaning.
By shifting Evology’s content from features to understanding, we made additive manufacturing feel relevant to the everyday world.
We showed how 3D-printed components end up in rockets, cars, drones, and household products. We taught without lecturing, entertained without dumbing down, and built trust by giving value long before ever asking for anything in return.
Evology became more than a manufacturer. It became a brand people learned from, and rooted for.
