How Comfrt Became TikTok’s Fastest-Growing Apparel Brand

In just two years, Hudson Leogrande turned Comfrt from an idea into TikTok’s fastest-growing apparel brand, dominating the platform with viral weighted hoodies, sweatpants, and blankets.

But the secret to this $160M success story? Niche influencers.

🔹 It all started on Snapchat. Before launching Comfrt, Hudson struggled for years with a teeth-whitening business, wasting money on paid ads. But when he tapped into small, relatable influencers, everything changed.

🔹 He applied the same strategy to Comfrt. Instead of chasing celebrities, he built a network of 5,000+ micro-influencers who genuinely connected with their audiences. These creators earned commissions and helped skyrocket Comfrt’s visibility.

🔹 TikTok took it to the next level. By focusing on user-generated content (UGC) and raw, relatable marketing (just an iPhone and a ring light!), Comfrt exploded—ranking #1 in fashion on TikTok Shop and selling out drop after drop.

🚀 What made this strategy work?

✅ Leveraging niche influencers before they became expensive

✅ Prioritizing authenticity over traditional ads

✅ Creating an “always sold out” hype cycle to drive demand
