Michelle has since grown the bilingual French English Naked French Instagram channel from 0 → 87,000 followers in 18 months with $0 in paid marketing. Many of her reels have also gone viral with millions of views.

Michelle also created and produced The Naked French Podcast which debuted in the Top #10 Apple Podcast Charts in 12 different countries under the Language Learning category.

The Challenge

Michelle wanted to build a Podcast and Instagram community around learning the French language as an adult, as she was living in Paris and found it difficult to access easy resources which would help her acquire fluency faster. She particularly wanted to focus on high quality audio resources.

She wanted to spend $0 in paid marketing, and build the community organically.

The Process

Michelle developed a 'micro-dosing method', where you can learn audio via micro-doses (most people don't have hours free in their day to just learn languages!).


When it comes to growing a social media audience and building a community, Michelle believes in focusing on creating valuable content that always provides educational value to the user first.

From there, she leverages a data-driven creative approach and iterates on the content which performs best with the audience.


She's extremely serious about a data-driven approach - she takes a close look at the times posted, shares, likes, engagement, DM's, types of reactions... And it makes a difference - she's found that if a post goes out on Instagram that's +/-2 hours outside of the optimal time, engagement is 20% less!

Infinity Canopy

Infinity Canopy offers modular, slide-on-wire canopy shades designed to be beautiful and durable while also being easy to install and easy to modify. The shade systems can be used in residential or commercial spaces, though it is a much larger investment than a backyard sail shade or pop-up canopy. Targeting and educating the right consumers when search behavior tends towards broad queries had been a challenge for the brand. Covid presented a new round of challenges when every restaurant was looking to install or update shaded, outdoor seating.
