Strategy Overview 📚

Protector is an app that allows you to get professional bodyguards on demand anywhere, anytime; an Uber for bodyguards. It has both gimmicky as well as serious use cases as the bodyguards are very professional. This is what led to Nikita Bier backing them up in the early stages.

If their offering is any proof, their content strategy is nothing short of amazing. They operate through 2 accounts on TikTok: 1.@getprotectors and 2. @fuzzandfuzz which is their founders’ ‘Build in Public’ account, managed by Josie and Nicole.

As of today, they have garnered 6M views with 80.8K followers.

Here are some of their most successful videos and how they did it 👇:

🎬We just ordered bodyguards to pick us up from the airport
12M+ Views, 1.7M+ Likes, 110K+ Saves

Hook: “pov you just ordered bodyguards to pick us up from the airport”

Format: Text Overlay + Background story

Why this video worked:

• Banger hook, it is just one of those things that is simple yet profoundly sticky for the viewer.

• Lesson, if you have a bizzare product, use the offering as a hook, no matter how long it is, no need for emojis.

• People will watch a video if what you promise is extremely novel.

• The video, in 11 seconds, shows the exact claim made in the foreground text.

• The background score syncs perfectly with the cuts and rises from the drop at product demo stage

🎬 Our bodyguards got us matcha

Hook: "our bodyguards got us matcha”

Format: Text Overlay + Background video

Why this video worked:

• The simplicity strikes again, paired with a trendy topic matcha

• This interest is also piqued because the people who posted this tik-tok are not celebs who require bodyguard protection but it is highly unusual for 2 content creators to have bodyguards

• The upbeat music adds on to the thrill of the act

• Extremely short duration of: 6 seconds

Key takeaways from Protector’s Tik Tok Strategy: 💡

• Engaging and Unique Content: They produce distinctive videos that capture viewers’ attention. The promise is novel, brief and highly intriguing, resulting in high retention and sharing of their content.

• Timely and Relevant Themes: Their content often aligns with current events or trends. A recent video titled “it’s us, on ur local news” showcases their feature on local news, adding credibility and relevance to their brand. 

• Authentic Brand Voice: Their content reflects a genuine and fun-loving personality. A video captioned “most importantly still having fun” emphasizes their commitment to enjoyment, resonating with their audience. They have also started 10 things this week, which helps them foster a deeper connection with their audience making them feel like part of a pack of friends rather than content consumers.

Format Toolkit (Premium Content)🔐

Protector has amassed 22M+ views with a bold formula of developing relationship and trust with their audience rather than selling every time, rather, their protector promotion is less than 1 in 3 tik-toks. They don’t even put a link for protector in their bio (on fuzz and fuzz). A few other things that they are doing right are:

1. Raw ‘vloggy’ footage

2. Real emotional moments rather than scripted events

3. Demonstration of user-stories in the tik-toks themselves

4. Bodyguard stories on @getprotector which are very unique
