The espresso machine video

7.2 million organic views and roughly $64,800 in earned media value, from a setup video that was funny and a little controversial rather than reverent.

The move

Every unboxing of a premium appliance is reverent. I made the opposite.

A humorous, deliberately controversial video of setting the machine up, which is what got people arguing in the comments. The argument was the distribution. Follow-on videos answering the loudest objections pulled the original back into circulation.

What transferred

Same instinct that built the Genusee creator programme: give people a real point of view and enough room to disagree with it, and the algorithm does the paid media for you.

Watch it

The video lives on TikTok @alirosevan. Ali, drop the direct link and I will embed the player here.
