Format #1 — "POV: the streak broke" HIGH REUSE

4 creators, 2.8M median views. Hook: silent shock → text overlay. Adapt: Duolingo-style streak loss framing.

Format #2 — Before/after language confidence test MEDIUM

3 creators, 1.1M median. Split-screen self-interview, 7 days apart. Works when the "before" is vulnerable.

What's in each issue

Not a trend feed. Not a link dump. A briefing built for operators.

Trends

3–5 viral formats, fingerprinted

Hook, narrative, emotion — every trend broken down with real thumbnails and the structural pattern underneath.

ICP Match

Why your audience cares

Each format tagged with reusability (HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW) for your ICP, plus concrete adaptation notes for your app.

Experiments

3 tests ranked P1–P3

Priority-ordered experiments with expected signal, success metric, and decision gate. Pick one, ship this week.

How it works

No blast list. Human-reviewed every week.

Scan

We crawl short-form platforms for your app's category every week — TikTok, Reels, Reddit, YouTube Shorts.

Cluster

Formats that appear ≥3 times get clustered into trends. One-offs get flagged as references, not repeats.

Ship

We translate each trend into a test your team can run — hook, format, asset list, success metric.

Who it's for

The team that actually ships growth experiments — not the one that talks about them.

Growth Leads

Apps at 10–1000 installs/day

Past the dead-air stage, not yet at performance-marketing scale. The window where content is the lever.

Founders

Pre-seed to Series A

You don't have a creative team yet. You need someone telling you what to film this week, not "be authentic."

Creator Marketers

1–2 person content pods

You already ship 3–5 videos a week. Now cut research time from 4 hours to 0 by outsourcing the scan.

Start with one week, free

Tell us your app, your ICP, and one growth question. We'll ship the first report inside 7 days.
