In this episode, Arthur Querou, founder of Vibe.co, and Adam Terry, CEO and co-founder of Cantrip Seltzer, unpack how Cantrip (a hemp/THC beverage brand) uses Vibe.co to turn streaming TV into a performance acquisition channel — not just branding. They dig into targeting, creative strategy, measurement, and scaling in a regulated vertical.

What you’ll hear:

Why CTV is more than just prestige — how hyper‑targeted performance TV delivers ROAS
How Vibe.co’s identity-first model differs from inventory-first CTV platforms
Creative strategies that work (and decay) in this new channel
Lessons in scaling — starting with retargeting, measuring incrementality, managing creative fatigue
The future: AI + hyper-personalization in TV ads

Key moments to listen for:

Adam’s early success in 3–4× ROAS within weeks of testing CTV
Arthur’s view that “Vibe buys identity first” as a core differentiator
Their predictions on AI-generated individualized ads
If you're a performance marketer or DTC founder curious about how streaming TV can actually move the needle — especially in restricted verticals — this is a must-listen.
