Description

TubeScience President and Co-Founder Philip Buerger shares how his team built a creative-first system that turns strategy into scalable results on TikTok. By tightly aligning creative testing with media buying and measurement, TubeScience has taken brands from zero to over $1M per month in TikTok spend while maintaining control of efficiency.

Philip explains why TikTok is a powerful discovery channel for filling the top and middle funnels, how messaging can be transferred across platforms while keeping concepts native, and why weekly, hypothesis-driven sprints are important. He details their Smart Plus scaling setup, view-through aware measurement, and the discipline required to let algorithms optimize without daily “day trading.”


What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • How TubeScience takes brands from zero to over $1M per month in TikTok spend by aligning creative, media, and measurement.
  • How to maximize results by isolating concepts in their own ad groups, learning variations, and migrating winners to Smart Plus.
  • How to use proven messaging from other channels while building concepts natively for TikTok to win at upper and mid funnel.
  • Why TikTok’s view-through conversions change budgeting and attribution, and how conversion studies reveal true lift.
  • Tactics to protect efficiency, including limiting budget changes to 20%, giving learning time, and operating in weekly hypothesis-driven sprints.
