WHY IT TRAVELS

01

Identity over data

82% of shares happen in the first 4 hours — people post who they are, not what they streamed.

02

Scarcity creates urgency

One week. One story. No archive. The window forces a split-second decision — share now or lose it.

03

Every card earns the crop

Built for 9:16 from day one. Gradient blocks, sticker borders, zero text below the fold.

04

Users outperform paid

Organic shares generate 4× the impressions of paid campaigns at a fraction of the cost.
