Purpose

Example

TikTok

Discovery

Hook: 3-sec curiosity clips & product reactions

YouTube

Depth

Teach the “why” behind your brand

Email / SMS

Retention

Personal stories, early drops, loyalty loops

💡 When combined, these channels turn impressions into trust — and trust into purchases.

🧭 The 80/20 Rule of Attention

  • 80% of your results come from 20% of your stories.

  • Find the topics your audience can’t stop commenting on — double down there.

  • Use analytics tools like Metricool, Notion Content Tracker, or Hypefury to identify repeat winners.

📌 Stop chasing trends. Start owning themes.

💡 Value Recap

✅ Reduce CAC — by replacing constant paid traffic with evergreen organic trust.
✅ Build Brand Equity — so customers return without retargeting.
✅ Create Omnipresence — one message, infinite reach, platform-native formats.

When attention becomes your flywheel, your brand stops being a store —
it becomes a media company that sells.
