Case studies

What these brands actually brief their creators to film.

Every case study takes one brand, reads every public creator post around it, and comes back with the format that won, the numbers behind it, and a brief you can paste. No interviews, no leaks. Public posts and stored frames only.

Next out of the library
64 brands are audited. Five are written up.

Every brand in the library already has its creators traced, its posts transcribed and its plays named. The case studies are written from that queue.

110 brands trackedBrowse them all →

No case study matches that situation yet.

What a case study is, and what it cannot tell you

Each one starts from every public post we could find around a brand, reads the transcripts, opens the stored frames, and records the public evidence of each creator relationship. Numbers come out of the library, never out of a press release.

Public posts cannot show what any brand paid, or how many customers a video brought in. Where no receipt exists we write “unknown” and leave it there. Read the full methodology →

Every case study ends the same way
  • 01Three lines you can put straight into your next creator brief.
  • 02The relationship tiers that brand runs, in the order to build them, with what each one actually buys.
  • 03A paste-ready brief for the format that won, with the video it came from.
