Creator-led growth for B2C apps
Don’t just produce UGC. Build on what works.
We build and manage creator-led growth campaigns for B2C apps. From sourcing creators to testing content and improving performance, we handle the entire process through a structured 90-day programme.
Launch. Test. Improve. Scale.

The challenge
Building an app is getting easier. Getting people to care about it isn’t.
You can build an incredible app. But getting it in front of the right people, with a message that makes them care, is another challenge entirely.
And creator-led growth isn’t as simple as hiring a few creators and hoping something takes off.
Without the right strategy, you’re left managing creators, paying for content and trying to understand why some videos work while others don’t.
That’s where Hooksology comes in.
We manage the entire process, from developing creative hypotheses to improving creator performance, so every round of content helps inform what comes next.
Why Hooksology
Built by a creator. Focused on making every creative better.
Most apps don’t need another agency simply delivering videos.
They need someone who understands what makes content work, can identify why it isn’t performing and knows what to improve next.
Hooksology combines hands-on tech UGC experience with structured creative testing and creator coaching to make every round of content more informed than the last.
-
Creator-led expertise
Built on Bea’s hands-on tech UGC experience, including producing organic content that reached over 10 million views. We understand creative performance from the production side, not just the reporting side.
-
Diagnosis before more spend
When content underperforms, we investigate the hook, messaging, audience and creator execution before deciding whether to improve the brief, coach the creator or test something different.
-
Continuous creative improvement
We don’t treat each batch of content as a separate deliverable. Performance insights feed directly into the next creative brief, helping campaigns become more informed over time.
The Hooksology method
Stop guessing. Start testing what scales.
Every campaign runs as a loop. Each round of content teaches us something, and every lesson shapes the next brief.
-
01 / Develop
Build creative hypotheses
We identify your audience’s problems, motivations and behaviours, then develop creative concepts designed to test what makes them pay attention.
OutputHooks, angles, concepts and creator briefs
-
02 / Test
Find what resonates
We test hooks, messaging, formats and creative angles across creator-led content, using performance signals to identify promising approaches.
OutputPerformance insights and clear next tests
-
03 / Optimise
Make the next video better
We analyse why content succeeds or fails, identify whether the problem lies in the hook, messaging, format or creator execution, and coach creators to improve the next round.
OutputSharper briefs, coached creators and the next round of tests
In practice
A creator’s videos aren’t performing. What happens next?
We don’t automatically replace them or ask for more content. First, we examine:
If the problem is the brief
We improve the brief.
If it’s the delivery
We coach the creator.
If the concept consistently fails to resonate
We test a different approach.
The next video should be smarter than the last.
What we do
We build it. We run it. We make it better.
From finding the right creators to figuring out which videos actually drive growth, Hooksology manages the entire operation.
-
Creative Strategy
We identify what to test before you spend money producing content.
-
Creator Management
We take creator sourcing, onboarding, briefing and coordination off your plate.
Dedicated creator accounts. We establish and manage dedicated creator accounts for your app, creating consistent, platform-native distribution channels rather than relying exclusively on one-off influencer posts. Your business owns the accounts; we manage them.
-
Performance Analysis
Understand what’s working, what isn’t and where your next creative investment should go.
-
Creator Coaching & Optimisation
Improve creator performance through specific feedback rather than automatically replacing creators or increasing content volume.
The programme
Your first 90 days with Hooksology.
A structured programme designed to launch, test and improve your creator-led growth, whether you’re starting from scratch or building on existing campaigns.
Before anything launches: two calls
-
Call 1 · Discover
We learn about your product, audience, growth strategy and past marketing, and where creator-led growth could fit.
-
Call 2 · Strategise
We share initial creative concepts and agree objectives, creator strategy, approvals, budgets, pricing and expectations.
-
Phase 01
Build & launch
Understand your product and audience, establish campaign goals, develop creative hypotheses, source and onboard creators, and launch the initial content.
TimingBriefs and creator onboarding typically take 7–10 days, depending on scope
OutputApproved briefs, onboarded creators and live content
-
Phase 02
Learn & improve
Evaluate early results, identify promising creative patterns, diagnose underperformance, coach creators and refine the next testing cycles.
TimingAfter the first month
OutputPerformance insights, coached creators and sharper tests
-
Phase 03
Consolidate & prepare to scale
Develop stronger creative approaches, document campaign learnings and establish the processes needed for continued growth.
OutputStronger creative approaches and documented campaign learnings
Each phase is adapted to your app’s starting point, goals and campaign requirements.
What happens after 90 daysThe creative advantage
Your UGC should do more than get views.
One campaign. Two growth channels.
-
Organic distribution
Organic content
Creators publish authentic, platform-native videos that introduce your app to new audiences and test different messages.
-
The connection
Performance insights
Results show which hooks, formats and messages are worth backing further.
-
Paid acquisition
Paid-ready creative
Promising videos can be adapted for paid advertising. Organic results don’t guarantee paid performance, but your budget starts with creative that has already shown promise.
Every creator signs a written agreement designed to transfer ownership of the agreed campaign content to your business, including the rights needed for organic and paid use. Licensed music and platform-only sounds stay under their own licences.
After your first 90 days
Built to grow with you. Or without us.
We build your creator-led growth system with the long term in mind. When the initial programme ends, you choose what comes next.
A defined handover is part of the programme. Additional or more extensive training can be scoped separately.
The founder
Built by a creator. Engineered for growth.
Hey, I’m Bea!
Before founding Hooksology, I worked as a tech UGC creator, producing organic content that collectively reached over 10 million views.
What fascinated me most wasn’t the numbers. It was understanding why certain videos performed, how those patterns could be replicated and how that attention could translate into actual app growth.
I wanted to turn everything I’d learnt from creating content into something bigger. That’s why I founded Hooksology: to help B2C apps build creator-led growth through creative testing, performance analysis and continuous improvement.

We already work with UGC creators. Can you still help?
Yes. We start by reviewing the content you’ve already produced and how it has performed, to understand what’s working and what isn’t. From there, we plan the next round of briefs, testing and creator coaching.
Do creators post on their own accounts or on separate accounts?
Creators post from dedicated social media accounts set up specifically for your app, rather than their personal profiles. Your business owns these accounts and we manage them, which gives your campaign its own consistent publishing channels. Every paid post is clearly labelled as an ad, and accounts never pose as independent users.
How do you track creator activity and campaign performance?
We use an internal tracking site to monitor posting cadence, engagement, views, reach and individual video performance, and share regular campaign updates so you can see which content is gaining traction.
Who owns the videos, and can we use them in paid ads?
Your business does. Before producing anything, every creator signs a written agreement designed to assign the copyright in the agreed campaign content to you, with the permissions needed to use their image, voice and performance, including in paid ads. Licensed music and platform-only sounds stay under their own licences, so we plan ad-ready versions with cleared audio.
Can we bring creator operations in-house after working with Hooksology?
Absolutely. Our goal is to build a growth system that works for your business, not make you dependent on us.
After your initial programme, you can continue with Hooksology managing and scaling your campaigns, or transition operations internally. A defined handover is part of the programme, covering your creator accounts, campaign learnings, reporting processes and team training. More extensive training can be scoped separately.
How do you select creators for our app?
We select creators based on your app, target audience and campaign objectives, considering content style and their ability to communicate your product’s value. We handle sourcing, briefing and coordination, so you don’t have to.
What happens if a creator or video underperforms?
We diagnose before we spend more. We look at the creative angle, hook, audience relevance and execution, then improve the brief, coach the creator or test a different approach. If a creator consistently underperforms after feedback, we may replace them or request replacement content.
How much does a Hooksology campaign cost?
Our standard engagement is a fully managed 90-day programme, and fees depend on your campaign scope and content volume. Performance-based or hybrid structures may also be available. Most campaigns combine agency fees with a separate creator budget, and a one-off setup fee may apply. Everything is set out in writing before the campaign begins.
How much content can we expect, and how involved will our team need to be?
Content volume depends on the package agreed with you. We manage creator selection, briefing, coordination and performance tracking. Your team provides the product context, audience insights and approvals needed to guide the campaign.
How do you measure success?
We track relevant metrics, from views and engagement to clicks, installs and conversions where reliable tracking is available. Views alone don’t equal installs, so we use the full picture to decide which content to back.
Do you guarantee views or downloads?
No specific results are guaranteed. We use structured testing and performance data to identify promising approaches and improve future creative.
