HOOK&FRAME

We out‑ test everyone.

Hook & Frame is a performance studio for Indian D2C brands doing ₹5L–₹1Cr a month. We put 40+ ad variants into market every month — strategy, creative and media buying in one room — kill the losers in 72 hours, and scale what survives.

THE LOOP: 40 IN → 72H KILLS → WINNERS DECOMPOSED

SC.02 THE PROBLEM

Your media buyer blames the creative. Your designer blames the targeting. And your account tests four ads a month while the market moves daily.

The fragmented setup

A freelance buyer here, a designer there, a founder in the middle forwarding screenshots between them. Every new test takes two weeks of hand-offs. By the time a learning lands, the auction has moved. That's not a people problem — it's a structure problem.

The one-room answer

Strategist, writer, editor and buyer share one desk and one dashboard. An insight seen at 10am is a new variant live by Thursday. Iteration speed is the only durable edge left in paid social — so we built the whole agency around it.

THE METHOD — THE TESTING LOOP

40 go in. 3 come out. Every month.

This is the machine. Watch it run.

01 / BRIEF

40 variants briefed

Persona × angle × format matrix — hooks, statics, UGC, motion. One concept per ad set, no lazy resizes counted as “variants.”

02 / LAUNCH

Live within days

Writer, editor and buyer sit in one room, so a brief becomes a live ad in days — not a fortnight of hand-offs.

03 / KILL

Losers die in 72h

Hard metric gates, no sentiment. Spend concentrates on survivors instead of leaking across the graveyard.

04 / SCALE

Winners fed back

Every winner's hook, angle and format is decomposed and fed into next month's 40. The loop compounds.

Statics took every lead

Cold traffic to a high-ticket offer produced nothing. We moved the premium offer to retargeting, put entry offers in front of cold traffic, and wired lead quality into Meta via CAPI. 7 video concepts produced zero leads. Statics took everything.

SC.10 QUESTIONS, ANSWERED STRAIGHT
Q.01

Who is this for?

+

Indian D2C brands doing ₹5L–₹1Cr a month in revenue with at least ₹50K/month of ad spend, and coaches/course businesses at similar scale. If you're earlier than that, take the free teardown — it'll still sharpen your next launch.

Q.02

How is this different from other marketing agencies?

+

Most agencies are either creative shops or media buyers — they're not the same team. That gap is why creative gets approved on aesthetics and media starves on volume. We do both. The strategist who writes the creative brief sits next to the buyer who tests it. Variants ship in 48 hours. Andromeda needs that speed; few agencies can deliver it.

Q.03

Why 40 variants? Isn't that overkill?

+

Because hit rates in paid social run 10–15% even for good teams. At 4 ads a month you get zero or one winner and no statistical read. At 40, you get 3–5 winners and a map of why they won. Volume isn't the strategy — it's what makes the learning loop possible.

Q.04

What kind of results can I expect?

+

First reads inside the first 72-hour kill cycle; meaningful account movement in 30–60 days. We don't quote past-client multiples here — every account walkthrough happens live, with real dashboards, on the call. Anyone promising a specific ROAS by a specific date is guessing on your budget.

Q.05

What does it cost?

+

The 30-day Testing Sprint is ₹45,000 fixed — and the full fee credits into your first retainer month if we continue. Retainers: ₹1.5L/month core (Meta + in-house creative, the full Loop) or ₹2.5L/month full-stack (adds Google/YouTube + landing pages). Month-to-month, no lock-ins, you own everything from day one. Above ₹5L/month managed spend we add a 2–5% performance component — we get paid more only when you scale.

Q.06

Do you lock clients into contracts?

+

No. Month-to-month, cancel with 30 days' notice, and every asset we produce is yours. Agencies that need lock-ins are pricing in their own churn.
