What we did

The program

A language-learning app was spending heavily on studio-produced ads that looked like ads. It wanted real people showing real progress.

We recruited 150 creators who were genuinely starting the language, asked them to film on day 1 and day 7, and paid a flat fee plus a bonus for clips selected for ads.

Usage rights were negotiated before filming. The paid team tested creator clips against studio ads in the same campaigns.
