Every comment starts a conversation.

Comment “SCROLL” and we’ll send you our guide to ads people stop for.

On Hors Cuvée, every clip ended with “Comment SHORT and I’ll send you the episode”. Each comment got a direct message.

For Short, that message carries the guide and a link to book a creative call.

How the episode sells Short.

Mathis runs Short, a production agency for paid social ads. If this were Short’s own show, here is how the same episode would bring in clients.

The download

Stop the scroll: a one-page guide to ads

What Mathis explains in the episode, on one page: win the first image, aim at one precise target, pick an angle that breaks the feed. Offered at the end of every clip. Each download is a brand that buys ads, with a name and an email.

The sales kit

Three clips for three objections

“AI can do it cheaper”: the AI clip. “Nobody stops scrolling”: the zombie-mode clip. “How fast does it work?”: the TikTok story, 10,000 followers in the first month.

Outbound

A reason to write, not a pitch

“Hi Claire, our founder explains why most ads never leave ‘zombie mode’. You spend on Meta every month, so 60 seconds might help: [link]. Happy to send three ad concepts for your brand.”

Retargeting

Viewers see the offer

Everyone who watches half a clip sees Short’s offer next: three free ad concepts for their brand. The episode warms them up, the ad asks.
