The Challenge

Brightika was pushing Under the Disco Lights — an 80's bar simulator with a stylized aesthetic — into a cozy-sim audience that overlaps with retro-theme fans and management-game players. The visual hook is strong on video, but the team had no proven short-form distribution channel and wanted to validate creator-driven marketing before scaling paid ads.

They needed a controlled test: real creators, real cost-per-wishlist data, across the three shorts platforms that drive the bulk of discovery today.

The Approach

Campaign opened at $5 CPM on TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels over twelve days. 22 creators self-enrolled from the cozy-sim, retro-game, and simulation niches. Many recorded once and cross-posted across all three platforms, producing 46 unique pieces of content in total.

No agency, no negotiation. Each creator received a Steam key and a one-paragraph brief, then posted on their own schedule. Brightika tracked wishlist velocity in real time and could pause or extend the campaign at any point based on the numbers.
