Scope of work

Paid social media buying and performance UGC for Unroll.me on TikTok. inBeat produced a high volume of creator videos, tested them systematically and bought the media against a cost per acquisition (CPA) target.

Strategy

Show the mess, then the fix. Hooks opened on inbox frustration, overflowing subscriptions and endless newsletters, before revealing the one-tap unsubscribe. Creator-led videos of real people with real inboxes carried more credibility than produced ads for a relaunched app. inBeat tested shock, tutorial and social proof hooks, plus urgency, benefit and ease calls to action, to find what drove installs.

Execution

A continuous testing loop ran on TikTok. inBeat sourced creators, wrote scripts, shot new variations and moved budget toward the winners, while the paid media team managed a 6-figure monthly spend against the CPA target. Every round of results shaped the next batch of creative.

Results

Cost per acquisition fell 75%, and Unroll.me reached 100k+ downloads a month on a 6-figure monthly ad spend managed by inBeat.
