What they did
Skit format on TikTok and Instagram: a college student sits asleep in a lecture hall with a laptop on their lap running the app, which is recording the lecture. Filmed over the shoulder by a student behind. Caption: "WTF, college isn't even real anymore." Relatable, funny and a bit controversial while showing the product and its value.
What happened
Guest says this format hits really good engagement while selling the product effectively.
