Quantity is the primary growth driver
You need to be in the game of volume. If you aren't producing a high number of video clips every single week, the network won't be effective. You need to test different hooks, different shots, and different angles constantly. The more you feed the network, the more data you get back on what works. As a growth lead, you want to maximize your testing surface area, and this is the best way to do it. You need to build a system that supports this level of volume.
Focusing on raw, authentic footage
Polished ads do not work as well in these networks. You need to provide content that feels native to the platform. This means raw, handheld footage of your footwear in various street settings. The more it looks like a real person shot it on their phone, the more engagement you will get. This is not the time for fancy production. It is the time for volume and authenticity. Keep it simple, keep it fast, and keep it focused on the product.
Optimizing for click-through and traffic
Every video should be designed to drive traffic. You don't need a heavy CTA, but you need a reason for people to check out your site. Make sure your footwear looks incredible in every clip. Use your drops to create a sense of urgency. The goal of the network is to get people to your site, and your content should be the primary vehicle for that. If the video doesn't make people want to see more, it's not doing its job.
Testing for the win
You are running a massive A/B test. You need to be tracking everything. Which clips are driving the most clicks? Which angles are getting the most views? Use this information to inform your creative strategy. You want to learn as much as possible from every video you post. The more you know, the better your results will be. A growth lead who is obsessed with this testing cycle will find this tool to be one of their most valuable assets.
Adopt a system for high-volume, raw, and product-focused video content to maximize your testing speed and overall traffic numbers.

Follow-up questions
How do I maintain quality with such high volume?
Don't aim for perfection. Aim for the hook. A simple, punchy video is often better than a complex, beautiful one.
Should I focus on drops or evergreen content?
Both. Drops create urgency, and evergreen content keeps your baseline traffic high. Use both to keep your funnel full.
What is the key metric I should track?
The number of clicks to your site per video. That is the only metric that matters at the end of the day.
