Überblick

The client: Alt Parts is a B2C automotive marketplace, an AI-powered search engine that lets car owners and enthusiasts find the right part across 10,000+ marketplaces in under a minute, comparing original parts with cheaper compatible alternatives. The problem: A strong product idea in a market dominated by pay-to-rank listings and fragmented resellers, but no brand, no audience, and no go-to-market strategy. The founding team relied on Stubb from day one to take the product from zero to launch.

Herausforderung

Speed was everything. The product had to go to market as fast as possible, and immediately reach an audience that is notoriously hard to reach. There was no runway for a slow brand build: launch, traction, and audience had to happen in one motion.

Zero audience at launch - a brand-new D2C product with no existing community, traffic, or brand recognition to build on.

A low-trust category - automotive parts buyers are burned by sponsored listings and biased search results, so trust had to be the product’s core promise.

Ansatz

1

Brand & positioning

Built the Alt Parts brand from scratch: identity, visual language, and a voice rooted in car culture — speaking to drivers as fellow enthusiasts, not customers.

Positioned the product around one sharp promise: unbiased parts search, the antidote to a pay-to-rank market.

Go-to-market strategy

Designed a zero-paid-media launch strategy built on organic reach: community-first content instead of ad budgets.

Defined the wedge audience: price-cautious, hands-on car owners and tuning enthusiasts, and the channels where they actually live.
