Two Raw Sisters
Overview

A taste for something new

Margo Flanagan and Rosa Power of Two Raw Sisters had already proven their food philosophy and recipes resonated with thousands through bestselling books and a loyal social media following. And yet, like many successful content creators, they hit a familiar ceiling. They were limited by traditional publishing, platform dependency and scaling constraints. The idea for an app, and a new phase of their business, was born.

Background

Tapping into technical expertise

Two Raw Sisters had proven product-market fit, a valuable library of tried and tested recipes, and an entrepreneurial vision for a new phase of growth. What they needed was a partner who could deliver on technical expertise and a keen understanding of how to package content into a digital product seamlessly and intuitively. That's where Armada comes in.

Development

Features to drive engagement

Before writing a single line of code, we focused on understanding the business fundamentals. The monetisation strategy centred on a subscription model that would generate predictable monthly recurring revenue.

Automated Shopping Lists

The cornerstone feature designed to become indispensable to users' weekly routines.

Personalised Meal Planning

Subscribers feel like they have a nutritionist in their pocket.

650+ Recipes

Searchable and organised by dietary needs, making it easy for users to find exactly what they need.

Women's Health Content

Added layer of value that resonates with their core audience.

Technical

Technical support to keep creativity flowing

On the technical side, we built smart infrastructure that would allow Two Raw Sisters to run their business independently.

R

RevenueCat

Handled subscription management and provided clear analytics on recurring revenue.

D

DatoCMS

Implemented so Margo and Rosa could update content, add new recipes, and manage meal plans without needing developers.

RN

React Native

Built for both iOS and Android from a single codebase, reducing development time and future maintenance costs.

Results

Revenue, ownership and scalability

The app has given Two Raw Sisters a boost in their business in three significant ways.

Predictable Revenue

Monthly recurring income from subscribers provides financial stability that book sales never could. Annual subscription options generate immediate cash that can be reinvested.

Platform Ownership

No more algorithm anxiety. They have a direct relationship with customers, complete control over their content and pricing, and access to rich customer insights.

Scalability

They can serve 100 subscribers or 10,000 with the same infrastructure. Adding new recipes increases value without increasing costs.
