Why Your Ads
Are Failing

Kerala loves strong tea. Most D2C teas are too 'light' for the local palate.

⚠️ The Consumer Mindset:
"Another polished ad? I don't trust it. Next."

The Trust Gap

  • ✕
    Studio Lighting = "Fake"
  • ✕
    Models = "Paid Actors"
  • ✕
    Scripted Copy = "Sales Pitch"

The Fix: Social Proof

How we solve the "Strong vs Watery" problem.

Winning Concept

The 'Thattukada' Comparison

"Compare this to the tea at this Thattukada. Which one is stronger?"

Authenticity Score: 10/10

Why It Works

The Mirror Neuron Effect

Benchmarking against the local gold standard (street tea).

When a viewer sees a real person react, they subconsciously mirror that emotion. They "feel" the product through the screen.

Common Questions about
Tea (Chai) UGC

Why does street UGC work better for tea (chai)?

Tea (Chai) is a high-trust category. Consumers are skeptical of polished studio ads because they know they are staged. Street interviews break that skepticism by showing real, unfiltered reactions from everyday people, which acts as powerful social proof.

How many videos do I get in a pilot?

In a standard pilot for Tea (Chai) brands, we deliver 5-10 fully edited ad creatives. This allows you to test different hooks (e.g., The 'Thattukada' Comparison, Price Guessing, Blind Tests) to see which narrative drives the lowest CAC.

Do you use paid actors?

Never. The entire point of our agency is authenticity. We approach real strangers on the streets of Bangalore and Kochi. If they don't like the product, we film that too. That honesty is why our ads convert.
