Track record

Former COO of Tabs. I built its creator program to 100M monthly social impressions, and the paid ad engine alongside it. The numbers below come from videos that program produced.

Same playbook as at Tabs: a small roster, clear pay bands, a hook library, losers killed early. Different category: Dryrobe sells changing robes, parkas, beanies and dog coats, and I have not run apparel before. The claims sheet and your team's answers on fit and fabric cover that gap.

Why now

  • 299

    Reviews behind the page rating

    The page shows an overall rating of 4.8729095 out of 5 from 299 reviews. Creators start with proof that buyers already like the product.

    Published
  • 295

    Reviews on the Pink Camo REWORK Tote Bag

    The tote carries 295 reviews at 4.9 in its structured data. It is an easy first product for a pack-out video.

    Published
  • 90-day

    Returns and delivery in the description

    The home description says free delivery and 90-day returns. That removes a common objection from a creator's closing line, once your team confirms the terms per market.

    Published
  • R$ 816.00

    A Resale price with a crossed-out price

    The Resale Black Pink Advance Changing Robe XL is listed at R$ 816.00 against a crossed-out R$ 1428.00. That gap is a ready-made hook for a Resale video.

Part 4 of 14

Principles

  1. One number to protect: R$ 1 per 1,000 views

    Every decision is tested against the R$ 1 target. The simulator starts at R$ 5.74, so most of the work is moving views, not cutting pay.

  2. One variable per test

    Same parka, same setting, one change: the opening line, the location or the cut. Seven videos per creator per week gives enough reps to see what moved views.

  3. Losers killed early

    A format that stalls after its first batch is dropped and its slots go to the hook library winners. The ramp adds two creators a week up to ten, so nobody is locked in.

  4. Ask before posting, not after

    Briefs, claim questions, drafts and reports live in one shared workspace. A creator who is unsure asks there, gets an answer the same day, and the answer goes on the claims sheet.

One channel for everything

#briefs

Briefs, drafts, reviews and the weekly numbers

Illustrative
  1. MartaMon 8:30 AM

    This week's brief: the Deep Sea Blue Waterproof Parka, everyday coat angle. Seven videos, one hook each, one variable changed per video. Use claims sheet lines only.

  2. TheoMon 10:15 AM

    Can I say the parka keeps me dry through a whole storm walk?

    Say what the sheet says: high-performance weatherproof protection. No promises about hours or conditions. I'll add your question to the sheet.

  3. MartaTue 9:00 AM

    Draft back to Ines: the Waffle Beanie hook lands, but the caption promises warmth in any water. Cut that line and use insulated headwear for cold-water warmth. Resend today.

  4. Report botAppFri 4:00 PM

    Weekly report posted: videos live, organic views, cost per 1,000 views against the R$ 1 target, top hook. Two formats flagged to cut next week.

  5. JonasSat 11:20 AM

    The tote bag pack-out just passed 100,000 views. Does the bonus apply?

    Yes: R$ 50 flat, one per creator per month, organic views only. I'm flagging the video for a paid test.

  6. Check botAppWed 2:00 PM

    Check: three videos this week mention water temperature, which is not on the claims sheet. Held for review before any bonus is counted.

The messages illustrate the working channel, with invented people: briefs go out on Monday, claims questions get an answer the same day, and nothing posts without the check.

Part 5 of 14

Formats

  1. Everyday coat walk

    Brief 01

    Everyday coat walk

    “Everything you love about Dryrobe®, shaped for your everyday life.”

    One handheld take on a coastal walk, parka on, zip and pockets in frame. End on the light grey fleece lining.

  2. Beach bag pack-out

    Brief 02

    Beach bag pack-out

    “…pack everything you need for a day at the beach.”

    Overhead on a towel: unzip the Pink Camo REWORK Tote Bag and fit a changing robe inside. One cut, no voiceover until the zip closes.

  3. Kids robe after the swim

    Brief 03

    Kids robe after the swim

    “The original fast-drying changing robe, built for every journey.”

    A parent films a child pulling on a Kids Advance robe after a beach session. Parent in frame, no names on screen.

  4. Dog coat on the shoreline

    Brief 04

    Dog coat on the shoreline

    “The ultimate adventure companion for your best friend”

    Owner puts the dog coat on at the car, then a short walk. Show the fit across the back and the listed size.

  5. Cold morning beanie

    Brief 05

    Cold morning beanie

    “Insulated headwear for cold-water warmth”

    Close-up on a cold shoreline: pull the Waffle Beanie on, turn to show the weave. Keep the wind noise in.

Every product line in a video comes off the claims sheet word for word, for example “Stay warm and dry with recycled fabrics.”, “Main fabrics are made with 100% GRS-certified recycled materials.”, “The original weatherproof changing robe for effortless outdoor changes”. Product names are said as printed.

Part 6 of 14

Recruiting

Four sources in

  • Cold-water swim groups

    Sea-swim and open-water regulars already change outdoors. The robe is part of their routine, so the first video needs no explaining.

  • Surf and coastal clubs

    Dryrobe's own beanie copy talks about checking the surf. Club members and coastal walkers show that setting without staging it.

  • Parents on cold sidelines

    The parka copy mentions cold sidelines, and there is a Kids range in sizes 5-9 and 10-13. Parents film real after-sport moments.

  • Affiliate or ambassador page

    I did not find an affiliate or ambassador page on the site. I would recruit by direct outreach and ask your team whether a program already exists.

Five filters, fewer each step

  1. 1Real weather

    Recent posts are filmed outdoors in actual cold, wind or rain, not in a studio.

  2. 2Claims discipline

    Has never promised health outcomes in a sponsored post.

  3. 3Audience fit

    Audience swims, surfs, walks dogs or stands on kids' sports sidelines.

  4. 4Production pace

    Can deliver 7 videos a week with a fresh hook in each one.

  5. 5Brand safety

    No alcohol-led or adult content. Films children only with a parent in frame.

Part 7 of 14

Who we want

  • Cold-water swimmer

    Changes on the shore after every swim, so the robe is the whole story of the video.

    Likely product: Resale - Black Pink Advance Changing Robe XL

  • On-foot commuter

    Walks to work or the coast in all weather and wants an everyday coat that looks sharp.

    Likely product: Deep Sea Blue Waterproof Parka

  • Surf-club regular

    Stands on a cold beach before and after sessions, wind in the face.

    Likely product: Waffle Beanie Black

  • Beach-day parent

    Packs for the whole family and shows the pack-out in one take.

    Likely product: Pink Camo REWORK Tote Bag

  • Dog owner

    Walks the same shoreline daily and films the coat going on in real conditions.

    Likely product: Resale - Camo Grey Dog Coat XS

  • Sideline parent

    Waits out junior sport in the cold and shows a child warming up after.

    Likely product: Resale - Blue Camo Orange Advance Kids 10-13

Left off, every time

Always left out: creators who make health or safety promises, anyone filming children without a parent in frame, staged cold-water stunts, rescue or safety-gear claims, and anyone who will not stay inside the claims sheet. Apparel rule: fabric, fit and weather only.

Claims sheet

Approved, word for word

Quoted exactly as the brand publishes it.

  • “Stay warm and dry with recycled fabrics.”

    Closing line of any robe or parka video

  • “Main fabrics are made with 100% GRS-certified recycled materials.”

    Parka videos, on-screen text or voiceover

  • “The original weatherproof changing robe for effortless outdoor changes”

    Adult robe videos, opening or closing

  • “Insulated headwear for cold-water warmth”

    Waffle Beanie videos

  • “The ultimate adventure companion for your best friend”

    Dog coat videos

  • “The original fast-drying changing robe, built for every journey.”

    Advance robe and kids robe videos

  • “A zipped, water-repellent tote bag that’s ready for adventures both big and small.”

    Tote bag pack-out videos

Never said

Each one with the reason it stays out.

  • Guaranteed to keep you dry in any storm

    No guarantees. Only the sheet's weatherproof protection wording is allowed.

  • Stops you getting cold after a swim

    A health outcome. Dryrobe's own wording speaks of warmth, not of outcomes.

  • Better than other changing robes

    A comparison nothing in the collected facts supports.

  • Safe gear for water rescue or open-water safety

    Not stated by Dryrobe. Creators make no safety or rescue claims.

  • Every purchase funds the RNLI

    The brand only says Support RNLI. Creators add no donation claims.

  • Resale pieces are as good as new

    Condition of Resale items is not stated in the facts. Say Resale only as the shop labels it.

To confirm with the brand

Held until someone on the brand side signs off.

  • Free delivery & 90-day returns

    Shipping terms differ by country in the facts. Confirm per market before any creator mentions them.

  • Any award or press badge visible in product photos

    A badge in a photo is not a claim on the sheet. Confirm with your team before a creator repeats it.

Pay

  • Starter

    R$ 300–600

    a month, by band

    Starter: a small but real outdoor audience, testing one robe, beanie or tote.

    Bonus at the cap: R$ 300

  • Standard

    R$ 500–1,000

    a month, by band

    Standard: steady weekly output with hooks that already hold attention.

    Bonus at the cap: R$ 500

  • Premium

    R$ 800–1,500

    a month, by band

    Premium: proven reach and clean claims, trusted with the parka and Resale drops.

    Bonus at the cap: R$ 700

  1. Under 100,000 views

    R$ 0

    The base pay covers the work.

  2. 100,000 views

    +R$ 50 flat

    Whatever the band.

  3. 1,000,000 views

    Top-up to your cap

    Bonus = band cap − base pay.

  • One cap bonus per creator per month, paid only when the band's monthly cap is reached.
  • Bonuses are judged per video: the R$ 50 flat bonus counts a single video past 100,000 views.
  • Organic views only. Boosted or paid views never count toward the 100,000 line.
  • No bonus on any video that broke the claims sheet or the apparel category rule, however far it travels.

Starter: R$ 600 cap − R$ 300 fee = R$ 300 bonus; Standard: R$ 1,000 cap − R$ 500 fee = R$ 500 bonus; Premium: R$ 1,500 cap − R$ 800 fee = R$ 700 bonus.

The bonus pays for reach after the work is done, never instead of it. One bonus per creator per calendar month keeps it an incentive and keeps the program cost predictable.

Simulator

Read it as a gap: R$ 5.74 per 1,000 views today against the R$ 1 target, on sliders you can move. To close it, 4.2% of videos go viral or the median video reaches 21,711 views.

Proposed, not measured. Views = videos × median, breakouts at 10× the median, viral at 750K. Bonus: +R$ 50 for a viral video, one per creator per month.

The math. Videos a month = 10 creators × 7 a week × 52 ÷ 12 = 303. Views per video = (1 − 4% − 0.5%) × 1,500 + 4% × 10 × 1,500 + 0.5% × 750,000 = 5,782.5; 303 videos × 5,782.5 = 1.8M views a month. Cost = 10 × R$ 1,000 = R$ 10,000 base + 1 bonus × R$ 50 = R$ 10,050. Cost per 1,000 views = R$ 10,050 ÷ 1.8M × 1,000 = R$ 5.74 against a R$ 1.00 target. To hit the target, either 4.2% of videos go viral or the median video reaches 21,711 views, other inputs held.

Move the sliders and the label recalculates. The result is only as good as the guesses behind it, so the median views, the share of breakouts and the share of viral videos are marked as Assumptions until the first month of posts replaces them.

    You sign off the sheet. The hook library is seeded from its three lines. Creators live by week: 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10.

  2. Month 1

    Ramp to ten

    Two creators join each week until ten are live after six weeks. Seven videos each per week, one variable per test, first losers killed.

  3. Month 2

  4. Month 3

    Best hooks to paid

    Videos past 100,000 views earn R$ 50 flat. The strongest are tested as paid ads against the parka and robe pages.

  5. Day 90

    Keep, cut or re-band

    Read the full ledger: 303 videos a month, cost against the R$ 10,050 modelled, views against 1.8M. Every creator is kept, cut or moved.

  6. Monthly ceiling

    R$ 15,000 at the top cap

    If all ten creators sit at the top cap with no bonuses, creator spend tops out at R$ 15,000. That is the number to hold.

R$ 15,000 Monthly ceiling, all 10 creators at the top cap, bonuses excluded Proposed

The roster grows by two creators a week, so hook performance can be read week over week instead of by anecdote.

Apparel rules

Apparel rules for Dryrobe creators

Seven videos per creator per week need guardrails. Apparel has no medical claims to make, so the risk is overreach on weather, fit, safety and kids.

  • Weather, not health

    Say what the page says: waterproof, fast-drying, insulated. Never present warmth or comfort as a medical outcome. A video that does loses its R$ 50 bonus.

  • Fabric lines stay on their product

    Quote the 100% GRS-certified recycled materials line only on products whose own description carries it, such as the Black Waterproof Parka.

  • Kids: parent in frame

    Children appear only with a parent in frame, no names on screen. Use the listed sizes, Kids 5-9 or 10-13, and nothing about growth or ability.

  • Dogs: listed size only

    Dog coats are shown in the sizes listed, such as XS or XS/S/M. No claims about a dog's health, behaviour or breed.

  • Resale means Resale

    Show the crossed-out price only when the listing shows it, such as R$ 816.00 against R$ 1428.00. Never describe the condition beyond the shop's own label.

  • No water-safety stunts

    No staged cold-water dares, rescue scenes or safety-gear claims. Support RNLI is the brand's own line. Creators add no figures to it.

The brand’s legal team sets the final rules. This is the operating floor I’d start from, not legal advice.
