Caveo | Social Media Execution System
Industry: Insurance
Client location: Melbourne, Australia
Platforms: LInkedIn, Facebook, Instagram
Timeframe: Since 2024 (ongoing)
Service: Social Media Strategy + Execution
Objective/Commercial Outcome: Brand awareness (visibility + trust)
Understanding the Challenge
Caveo wanted to launch as a standalone insurance brand in 2025, backed by the established Velocity Financial network. While Caveo had appeared in pockets of Velocity Financial’s existing content, it had no independent social presence, no defined brand voice, and no system for building visibility in a crowded and trust-sensitive market.
The commercial objective was clear: establish Caveo as a credible, recognisable brand in the New Zealand business insurance sector. In an industry where trust is built long before a conversation happens, getting the brand seen, understood, and respected by the right audience was the commercial foundation everything else would be built on.
Building the Approach
Blackjet designed and executed a social media launch strategy focused on building a distinct brand presence for Caveo while reinforcing its connection to Velocity Financial as a point of credibility.
- Developed Caveo’s social media strategy from the ground up, including content pillars, message architecture, and platform positioning across LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram
- Built content around the commercial and business insurance sector, with an education-led approach designed to build trust and demonstrate expertise with SME decision-makers
- Introduced human-led video content production, using guided prompts and a comfortable recording setup to help contributors feel confident on camera and deliver credible short-form video at scale
- Established a consistent brand design system that gave Caveo a distinct visual identity, separate from Velocity Financial but clearly connected to it
- Embedded end-to-end execution into a managed system, handling planning, production, scheduling, and reporting
Impact + Outcome
Launching a brand from near-zero means every gain is earned. The growth Caveo has achieved since launch reflects structured execution against a clear strategy, not volume for its own sake.
- A distinct, credible brand presence established across LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram from a standing start
- Educational content positioning Caveo as a trusted voice in the NZ business insurance sector
- Human-led video content creating genuine connection with the target audience of SME owners and decision-makers
- Clear brand separation from Velocity Financial, while maintaining the credibility of the wider network
Measurable outcomes (since launch)
Caveo launched with no standalone social presence. These results reflect growth from a near-zero baseline, so the percentages are large by nature. What they confirm is that the content is landing with the right audience and the brand is building real momentum from a standing start.
- Impressions grew +14,879%
- Engagements increased +274,400%
- Engagement rate of 9.9% per impression sits well above the 1-3% industry benchmark across major platforms.
- Net audience growth of +612.5% reflects genuine new interest from an audience that did not previously exist for this brand.
Client Feedback
“It’s been fantastic to see Caveo properly come to life in the social media space. For a long time, it didn’t have a standalone presence, so having a clear voice, visual identity, and personality has made a huge difference. It finally feels like something real and tangible that we can point to and be proud of.
From a brand perspective, it’s given us something much clearer and more consistent to work with and direct people to. It certainly adds a level of reputability that we didn’t have prior, and there is a noticeable uptick in engagement the longer it’s been going.
Having a defined and visual brand for Caveo alongside Velocity has made it much easier for us to talk about it, both internally and externally. Before that, it was quite abstract. Now we’ve got something we can point to that feels considered and intentional, and it’s had a really positive impact on team morale.Blackjet are professional, easy to work with, and very reliable. The quality of their work is consistently high, and their communication is clear and proactive. It’s been really valuable to be able to trust that things will just get done, and done well, without needing to be closely managed.”
