Creative & creators

Creators find you customers. Nova turns the winners into ads.

Nova pitches creators on TikTok Shop, ships the samples, tracks what each video sells, and takes the winners to every other platform you run on. New ads every week, and the tired ones swapped out before they cost you.

Creator outreach on TikTok Shop

Hundreds of creators pitched a week. The ones who sell get more.

Nova runs creator outreach the way a good affiliate manager would, without the spreadsheet. Five steps, every week, and the results land in Slack.

  1. 1 / 5

    Find

    Creators who already sell in your category on TikTok Shop, ranked by what their videos have sold.

  2. 2 / 5

    Offer

    A personal note and a free sample offer, sent in batches you set. Replies tracked, accepted ones logged.

  3. 3 / 5

    Ship a sample

    Address collected, box shipped, tracking watched. Nova nudges when a sample lands but nothing posts.

  4. 4 / 5

    Track posts and sales

    Every video watched, every sale credited to the creator who made it, in one table in Slack each week.

  5. 5 / 5

    Re-up the winners

    Creators who sell get a second box and a bigger offer. Their videos become your next ads.

The creative bridge

One video that sells on TikTok Shop becomes an ad everywhere else.

Winners are rare and expensive. When a creator's video starts selling, Nova takes it to every other platform you run on, sized, tagged and budgeted, and waits for your OK.

New ads every week

A launch every Thursday. A verdict the Thursday after.

Creative is the one thing a media buyer can't optimize into existence. So Nova runs a weekly rhythm that keeps new ads flowing and tells you which ones earned their place.

  1. Monday

    The brief

    Nova tells your creators and designers what won last week: the hooks, the angles, the products. New cuts land in your Drive folder through the week.

  2. Thursday

    The launch

    Everything that arrived is named, tagged, given a small test budget and staged in Slack. One tap and it's live.

  3. Next Thursday

    The read

    A week of data on every new ad. Winners earn more budget, losers are paused, and Monday's brief writes itself.

Vita Hustle, 437 and CGK Linens are brands Growth Dept runs today. Some Vita Hustle ads run from partner pages, so the page name on the ad is not always the brand's. Results vary by brand; ads shown are examples, not a promise.

Fatigue spotted early

Winners wear out. Nova sees it coming and swaps in the next cut.

Every good ad tires. The trick is noticing before the return collapses. Nova watches the early signs on every ad, every day, and rotates a fresh cut in while the ad set is still healthy.

What Nova can make from what you already have.

Give her a product photo or a creator video and she makes the variants, the sizes and the end cards a full week of testing needs. Your designers stay on the big ideas.

Questions

The ones founders ask on the first call.

Do I need my own creators or designers?

No. Nova finds creators who already sell in your category on TikTok Shop and runs the outreach. If you have designers or an agency, they keep the big ideas and Nova handles the weekly variants, sizes and launches. Either way, new ads arrive every Thursday.

Who owns the videos and the ads?

You do. Creator content comes with the usage rights your offer sets out, and every ad Nova makes from it is yours. Everything lives on your machine, in your ad accounts.

How do you know which creator earned a sale?

Every video and every ad is tagged before it goes live, so each sale is credited to the creator and the ad that drove it, on the platform it sold on. The weekly table in Slack shows it per creator.

What if an ad is off-brand?

Nothing goes live without your approval. Every new ad is staged in Slack first, with the creative in front of you. Skip one, swap the landing page, or send it back for a new cut with a message.
