What they did

Script says 'First, you go to this app' or 'I just use this app' instead of 'First I go to the Payout app'. Naming the app triggers 'ad, ad, scroll'. Casper has never said Payout's name out loud in a video; learned from paid brand deals.

What happened

Claimed large effect on conversion; no numbers.

“Another interesting thing I learned is to never say the name of the app. I don't think in any of my videos I have said verbally the name of my app. I always say go to this app, so it sounds more like a friendly, helpful resource.”

“Instead of, first I go to the Payout app. That immediately triggers in people's minds: ad, ad, ad, ad, ad, scroll.”
