Target Audience: Social media users concerned about transparency, responsible influencers, brands committed to ethical marketing, and advocacy groups promoting advertising honesty.
Monetization: Subscription plans for power users; premium features for brands and influencers; affiliate partnerships with transparency tools; licensing data insights to brands and agencies.
Unique Selling Proposition (USP): First-to-market tool prioritizing user awareness by actively detecting hidden sponsored content, fostering trust and accountability in social media marketing.
Launch Strategy: Develop a minimum viable product (MVP) beta that scans a few major social media platforms; gather user feedback; partner with transparency advocates; run targeted awareness campaigns to build initial user base.
