In their words

“Completely exceeded my expectations - easily the most organized and communicative agency we’ve worked with out of the four we’ve tried.”

“I’ve already recommended Alex and the team to multiple founders.”

What Plutus did

  1. Creator system

    Recruited and managed creators for Instagram users.

  2. Testing system

    Tested hooks and formats.

  3. Optimization system

    Kept the formats that brought users.

The learning

The biggest lesson was that organization and communication are part of the result. This gave the founder a channel he could trust after three failed tries.
