When we acquired Neat™ at the end of 2023, we had no idea how much we’d learn. In 12 months, we’ve grown it from $9K/ mo to $114K/ mo - all while building in public and sharing the highs, lows, and lessons with you in real time.
This week at Neat ....
It's live!
6 hooks. 1 video. Our biggest creative bet of the year.
It goes live today.
At Neat™, creative is our biggest leverage point.
So we went all in on one video:
- Full narrative storyline
- Professional actors
- A villain called "The Sweat Monster" (British accent, obviously)
The concept: A grotesque creature who shows up at the worst moments—dates, interviews, presentations and makes you sweat through your shirt.
The solve: Neat shirts make him powerless.
We're testing 6 different hooks:
🧪 Extreme close-up sweat pour
🧪 Monster villain monologue
🧪 "Uninvited guest" line
🧪 Date night scene opener
Each targets a different emotional trigger. Data decides the winner.
I'll report back in 30 days with:
- Which hook won
- CPM, CTR, and conversion metrics
- Whether this was smart or expensive tuition
Also, we're pairing this with our most aggressive BOGO offer!
So, how do I judge if this is a success?
Simple: Is our CAC under $25.
