The job list

    Brands operating at the benchmark angle count reach audiences that the discount message alone does not convert.

  • All eight identified winners are the same "First Book $5" video, each 28 days active, so performance depends on one concept.

    Brands that iterate proven winners keep fresh variants in rotation before the original concept fatigues.
