Partnership with Modash
Stop treating Influencers like walking Promo Codes
You’ve seen it: brands slashing margins to buy influence that never converts. The smartest operators are quietly breaking that cycle. Instead of handing out 20% codes like candy, they’re building creator ecosystems that actually move the needle.
Join Rugile Paleviciute, Director of Global Partnerships at BURGA, for a free Modash webinar revealing the 4 system-level changes her 26-person in-house team made this year.
Here’s what you’ll walk away with:
- Track real influence instead of vanity clicks.
- Reduce discount reliance while boosting conversion rates.
- Build creators who sell because they believe, not because they’re paid.
- Reach audiences that buy again and again.
This isn’t theory, it’s what’s driving BURGA’s growth. Watch live or if you're unable to attend, no worries, you'll receive the replay!

🎬 Run fewer angles, flip more formats
Black Friday isn’t the time to go quiet or go stale. Yet most brands run their top ads straight into the ground, mistaking fatigue for failure. The creative didn’t stop working. The format did.
When BFCM performance dips, killing your best angles is a panic move. Instead, flip the format.
You’re not changing the message, you’re changing the medium. Turn a UGC into a mini-doc. Spin a talking head into a silent demo. Let the same core idea wear a new outfit, and suddenly, it lands again.
The Silent Scale Move Nobody Talks About
This isn’t just a creative hack. It’s a retention loop.
By rotating formats weekly during BFCM, you extend the shelf life of your best hooks without scrambling to write new ones. A single winning angle can deliver 3–5 extra weeks of performance when executed across different formats.
Here’s the breakdown:
- Original format: Talking-head UGC with “Before/After” claim
- Flip 1: Founder-led voiceover with B-roll
- Flip 2: Screenshot carousel with review overlays
- Flip 3: 6-second motion title card for Stories
- Flip 4: Native TikTok stitch or reply-to-comment ad
Each variation resets fatigue while keeping the winning angle in play. Your cost per result drops, volume scales, and the audience sees “new,” not “recycled.”
Why It’s a BFCM Superpower
During peak season, everyone’s shouting louder. But your goal isn’t just new, it’s new enough. The right format swap triggers curiosity and gets a second glance from shoppers who already ignored you once.
You can scale spend without burning your ad account. Instead of running 20 angles at once, run 5 great ones in 4 formats each. Simpler, cleaner, and battle-tested under pressure.
Run This Like a System
- Start with the top performers from October
- Pre-plan 3–4 variant formats per winner
- Launch new formats every 4–5 days
- Monitor fatigue, not just CTR: if thumb-stops flatten, flip the format
Why This Wins
BFCM is a pressure cooker. You don’t need new ideas every 72 hours; you need new ways to present them. Format roulette isn’t a gamble; it’s a compounding system.
And for brands stuck at spend ceilings, it’s often the most immediate unlock. Get more out of what already works. Flip the format, don’t kill the ad.
