the challenge
Caktus AI had a product students wanted; the bottleneck was distribution. Reaching millions of students means meeting them where they already are, in the feed, with content that looks like a peer made it, not an ad.
the approach
Volume as the strategy
We sourced and ran creators at scale, producing native UGC in the student vernacular so the campaign read as recommendation, not advertising.
Feed the algorithm
Constant content velocity across accounts kept the product in front of the audience, letting the platforms compound the reach.
Volume is the strategy: hundreds of pieces of native creator content, aimed at one audience.
