📌 Overview
College students aren’t hiring rentals for comfort — they’re hiring them for social moments and shareable memories. Using Jobs-to-be-Done, Atypica.AI tested two hashtags and found the winning narrative wasn’t about “home” features but about facilitating friend-driven experiences that translate into TikTok-ready content. We unpack how persona-driven interviews revealed the deeper motivations, how creative briefs were shaped to inspire the right UGC, and how small strategic choices prevent wasted ad spend. This episode blends marketing, behavioral science, and platform strategy to show why understanding the job beats guessing a catchy line.

- 🧠 Jobs-to-be-Done framework explained

- 📱 Why friend-focused content wins on TikTok
- 🎬 Creative concepts to kick off a challenge
