Building a $130K MRR Design Agency Through 'Public Roasts'

Case Study

Content Marketing

How Baked Design built a $130K MRR Design Agency with Nick's 'Public Roasts' on Twitter.

Case Study

Nick's design agency has skyrocketed to $130k in monthly recurring revenue (MRR) with a brilliant "public design roasting" tweet strategy, and your agency could implement a similar approach.

Roasting Pages Main

Here's how it works:

Nick targets Twitter users looking for feedback on their landing pages or those tagging him directly for input.


He then quote-tweets the founder's landing page with his design tweaks, sharing them publicly with his followers.

Here's how it creates a viral growth loop:

1/ Nick's tweets have longevity, because people enjoy revisiting different styles of landing page roasts.

They might be hunting for inspiration or be intrigued by designs for specific industries.


Each roast offers something new, keeping the strategy lively and engaging.

2/ This tweet variation where Nick roasts everyone who comments on his post essentially gives out free value to anyone who shares their landing page, leading to a massive spike in engagement.


This means more eyes on his work and boosting engagement on his content even further.

3/ People often ask Nick about his main growth driver, allowing him to reference one of his roast examples.

This highlights his design quality and reignites engagement from older roasts.

4/ Folks often share their landing page designs on Twitter and tag Nick to roast them.

This makes him look like a big deal to their followers since they ask for his opinion.

That helps Nick reach more users through their followers for baked.design.

Design Roast Tweet Examples

5/ Then, some people on Twitter copy his roasting strategy and tag him for inspiration.

6/ Nick shares his MRR gains from the design roasts, creating viral "build in public" content.


This boosts both his MRR and also engagement on his posts even further.

7/ Then there are crazy people like me, creating case studies about Baked Design's roast strategy, and that drives even more traffic (I hope) :)
