Why teams choose The Viral App
A defined production range across three short-form channels
TVA offers 5 to 60 creators producing 300 to 3,600 videos per month across TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts. That range makes creator count and channel coverage part of the campaign brief from the start. Cal AI's TVA case reached $30M+ ARR and 5M+ users, with 250M+ views per month at peak and 500+ creators in the campaign. Choose TVA when your growth plan needs coordinated creator production across multiple channels. TVA manages the sourcing, vetting and operating work behind the output, drawing on a network of 10,000+ creators while your program is scoped to its goals.
Transfer the people and playbooks your team needs
The handover includes creator relationships, processes, tracking tools and playbooks. TVA builds toward that choice through its 90-day growth system: foundation and launch, scaling and optimization, then a running program. Invoice Fly's TVA case reached #1 among invoice apps in the US with 90+ creators and 30M+ views. For a team planning internal creator operations, TVA puts the transfer inventory directly into the offer. Your business can choose continued agency management instead, keeping TVA responsible for execution and scaling. The same program supports founders preparing an in-house team and founders who want the agency to remain involved.
Managed briefs and testing support sustained content output
TVA handles briefs, scripts, approvals, posting schedules, payments and reporting alongside creator sourcing. We test 4 to 5 new content angles weekly and cut underperforming formats within 5 to 10 days. Stimuler's TVA campaign generated 100M+ views, including a top video with 14.8M views. Choose TVA for a creator-management service that includes both production and repeated content experiments. Your team receives weekly views, engagement, content-angle analysis and install data, while winning organic videos become paid ad creative. Those responsibilities remain within the managed program as the roster and monthly content scope are established.
Client feedback on the creator system
"In just 3 months, the team at The Viral App built a whole system driving crazy engagement with an army of creators."
