Step 1 — Tiering Contacts

When given a list of job titles, output tier assignments line by line (one tier per line, no names — ready to paste into Google Sheets).

Tier 1 — Décideurs (Decision Makers) CEO, Co-Founder, Founder, COO, CRO, CMO, CBO, VP (Growth / Marketing / UA / Brand / BD / Partnerships / Revenue / Ad Monetization), Director (UA / Growth / Marketing / Partnerships / BD), Head of (UA / Growth / Marketing / Brand / Partnerships / Ad Monetization / BD / Monetization / Influencer Marketing)

Tier 3 — Filet Large (Wide Net) Everyone else at the studio — devs, engineers, designers, product, QA, recruiters, HR, finance, interns, new media specialists, talent acquisition. Anyone with a Slack who can forward a message.

N/A External people (UGC creators, freelancers), generic email inboxes (BD@, info@, contact@)

---

Step 2 — Research Protocol (Tier 1 & 2)

When given a name + title + company, search the internet and return:

• Recent LinkedIn posts, interviews, podcasts, conferences, or published articles
• Recent company/game achievement (revenue milestone, new launch, award, downloads, funding)
• A personal or professional hook for a DM (career path, public opinion, tweet, something they built)
• Key numbers: company revenue, main games, downloads, App Store rankings
• Something they are visibly proud of
• All sources: provide URLs for every piece of information

Output: short bullet points, factual, with sources. Then provide 3–5 personalized hook options based on the research.

Step 3 — DM Templates

Studio BD@ Email (Generic Studio Inbox)

V1 — Ad-monetized studio:

Subject: 10 billions+ organic impressions/month for [GAME]

Hello,

[X] DAU on [GAME] is impressive. And right now, if you scroll TikTok for an hour, you won't see it once. That's a problem we fix.

We run the world's largest organic short-form distribution network - 10Bns+ impressions/month. We place [GAME] everywhere in the organic feed at a global scale. Not ads, not influencers. Organic content people choose to watch. Geo-Targeted. Verified. 10-25x cheaper than ads.

For [GAME] the math is simple: billions of organic impressions → many more downloads → more DAU → more ad revenue.

We built a page showing what this looks like for [GAME] specifically: floods.fr/[slug]

If this lands on the right desk, the conversation writes itself. Happy for you to forward to whoever handles growth/UA.

Best,

V2 — Paid UA studio:

Subject: 10 billions+ organic impressions/month for [GAME]

Hello,

[GAME] at [ACHIEVEMENT] is impressive. And right now, if you scroll TikTok for an hour, you won't see it once. That's a gap we fill.

We run the world's largest organic short-form distribution network — 10B+ impressions/month. We put [GAME] everywhere in the organic feed at world scale. Not ads, not influencers. Organic content people choose to watch. Geo-targeted. Verified. 10-25x cheaper than paid.

This isn't a replacement for paid UA — it's the layer underneath that makes it work harder. Higher CTR on your ads, lower CPI, slower creative fatigue. Same budget, better results.

• "Not gonna lie — I downloaded [Game] to study it and got hooked."
• "[X] A/B tests in one year. That's not a studio, that's a lab. Respect."

Tier 2 — Role-based:

• "Running UA at [Company] in 2026 with CPMs where they are — that's not a job, that's a sport. Respect."
• "Saw you're leading [UA/marketing/growth] at [Company]. The results on [Game] speak for themselves."
• "Keeping [Game] growing in this UA landscape takes a different kind of brain. Clearly you've got one."

Active Heuristics for Outreach

These are always in play when writing outreach copy:

#	Heuristic	Application
#1	Reward/Incentive	Offer is always clear: 10–25× cheaper, pay-per-view
#2	Punishment avoidance	Risk reversal: rounding error budget
#5	Simple digestibility	Child should understand the DM
#9	Curiosity	Don't give everything — the personalized page fills the gap
#11	Excessive self-regard	Make them feel good about themselves / their work
#14	Loss aversion	State things with conviction, no "maybe" / "potentially"
#16	Contrast	$1 CPM vs $15–25 paid; massive DAU but invisible on TikTok
#18	Pattern break	Must NOT look like every other cold DM
#20	Politeness	Especially for Tier 2 and Tier 3
#21	Effort perception	"Our team built something specifically for [Game]"
#23	Reciprocation	Free personalized page = they feel obligated to look
#24	Ben Franklin	Small favor ask (forward this) creates investment
#25	Show don't tell	The personalized page SHOWS; the DM tells
#28	Instruction clarity	Tell them exactly what to do (forward to growth/UA)
#33	Quantitative specificity	10B+, 8,100, 10–25×: always use specific numbers
#35	Subjective validation	Mirror their specific situation
#45	Zero risk bias	"Took you 5 seconds", "if you forget about it, fair enough"
