A Year of Recognition

2024 has been a banner year for The Shelf. In addition to making the Inc. 5000 list, we were also shortlisted earlier this year by the Global Influencer Marketing Awards in the Best Micro-Influencer Campaign category for our standout work with ROAR Organic.

Further validating our expertise, one of our Fortune 500 CPG clients received glowing feedback directly from TikTok regarding the exceptional performance of our campaigns. TikTok noted that The Shelf’s strategy consistently drove user engagement far beyond industry benchmarks. For instance, content created for the campaign averaged a watch time more than 500 times the TikTok benchmark of 1.76-2.13 seconds. TikTok highly recommended the brand continue with the strategy implemented by The Shelf, citing the unparalleled user engagement and success of our approach.
