Street interview plan · Beastlife

Let the gym decide what's hype

Beastlife already says it: we don't sell hype, we deliver performance. This plan hands that line to strangers outside the gym, lets them test it for themselves, and films what they say. It works for whey, yeast protein, gainer or creatine in the same day, because it sells the thing all of them share.

01 · What every tub shares

Every tub on the shelf says 100% real. Beastlife can let people check.

Lab tested, high protein, no fillers: gym-goers have read every one of these lines on a tub that didn't live up to it. So the lines stopped working. What still works is something a person can see, taste or feel for themselves. Beastlife has three of those.

Proof one

The label holds up

Every batch NABL lab tested, labels that show everything, and your ₹10 lakh Label Guarantee behind them.

Proof two

It tastes like a treat

Malai Kulfi, Cold Coffee, Shikanji, Litchi. Flavours people grew up on, in a shaker. Taste is the proof people believe fastest.

Proof three

The whole stack

Protein, gainer, creatine, pre-workout and more from one brand. Most people buy each from someone different.

Why we start here

An ad where a stranger tests your own line, "we don't sell hype", sells Beastlife rather than one tub, so every product on the site gets the benefit, sale or no sale.

02 · One idea, every tub

The idea stays fixed. The tub in their hand changes.

Each street test has one fixed spine and one open slot. The host runs the same conversation all day and swaps the product every few people. By evening the footage holds the same reaction across your whole range.

Why this way

Shooting one product per day would mean six shoots to cover the range. Rotating the product inside one conversation gets the same coverage in one day, and the mashup that comes out of it shows the promise holding across the whole shelf.

Test one · the label

Hype or real? You call it.

What they believe now

"Every brand says lab tested. They all say that."

What they believe after

"This one puts money behind its label."

Stop

Host: "Which protein are you on? Do you trust what's on the label?" Their honest answer.

Game

Host: "I'll read you lines from tubs. You say hype or real." Their fast calls, in their own words. This beat is opening B.

Turn

Host: "This one says every batch is NABL lab tested, and backs its label with a ₹10 lakh guarantee." They turn the tub around and read it themselves.

Rotate

Same beats with every tub in the range. Every few people, a new one.

Verdict

Host: "Hype or real?" Their call, uncut.

Close

Card: We don't sell hype. Read the label.

Opening A · the question

"Do you trust what's on your protein label?"

Opening B · the reaction

Their fastest "hype" calls, then the turn.

Edit style

Fast. A HYPE or REAL stamp hits the screen on every call. The brand cut stacks six people and six tubs in the first ten seconds, all landing on the same word.

Why it leads

It turns your own line into a game strangers play on camera. The verdict comes from them, which is the only version of "we don't sell hype" a sceptical gym-goer will believe.

Test two · the taste

Blind sip. Name the flavour.

What they believe now

"Protein tastes like chalk. You just drink it fast."

What they believe after

"Wait, that's Malai Kulfi? In protein?"

Stop

Host: "How does your protein taste?" Whatever face they make. That face is opening B.

Blind

Host: "Close your eyes. One sip. Guess the flavour." A plain shaker, no label.

Guess

Their guess, out loud. Malai Kulfi, Cold Coffee, or Shikanji creatine for the one who swore creatine has no taste.

Reveal

The host shows the tub. Host: "Protein. Same tub, every day."

Close

Card: Protein you'll look forward to.

Opening A · the question

"Close your eyes. Guess the flavour."

Opening B · the reaction

The chalk face, then the first blind sip.

Edit style

Close on the face for the sip, a beat of silence, then the guess. Flavour name hits the screen with the reveal. 20 to 30 seconds, one person per ad, and a "how many got it right" cut with six people.

Why it's in

Taste is why people stick with a protein or quit it. Flavours like Malai Kulfi and Shikanji are rare on a protein shelf, and a stranger's surprise sells them faster than any flavour list.

Test three · the check

How do you know yours is real?

What they believe now

"I bought it from a good store. It must be real."

What they believe after

"I've never checked. This one I can."

Stop

Host: "Quick one. How do you know your protein is real?" A pause, a shrug. The pause is opening B.

Explain

Host: Two lines only, word for word from the claim list you approve.

Check

Host: "Here's how you check this one." They check it themselves on camera, using whatever you give buyers today: the batch lab report, or a code on the tub.

Verdict

Host: "Will you check yours tonight?" Their answer.

Why it waits

It's the strongest test and the one that needs the most care. Every fact comes from the host, only from wording your team signs off, and strangers only react. We run it once the claim list and the check itself are approved.

Test four · the range

Thirty seconds. Build your stack.

What they believe now

"Beastlife? That's a protein brand."

What they believe after

"My creatine and pre-workout too?"

Stop

Host: "Thirty seconds. Build your stack from this table." Six plain tubs: protein, gainer, creatine, pre-workout, BCAA, omegas.

Pick

They pick three or four and say why, in their own words. Every reason is a product ad.

Reveal

The host turns every tub around. All Beastlife. Their reaction, uncut.

Verdict

Host: "Which one would you try first?" Their pick tells us which product to put in front of new customers.

Close

Card: Your whole stack. One brand you can trust.

Opening A · the question

"Thirty seconds. Build your stack."

Opening B · the reaction

The reveal reaction first, then the table.

Edit style

Game clock counting down from thirty, a tick on every tub they grab, then the reveal with every tub turned at once. 20 to 30 seconds. The brand cut is six people's reveals back to back.

Why it's in

This is the test built for a wide range. The stranger finds out how much you make, on camera, which is the cross-sell a single product ad can't do. Their "try first" answers are free research on which product to lead with.

Test five · the country

Same question. Five cities. Five languages.

What they believe now

"I've seen the brand online. Never thought about it."

What they believe after

"Everyone, everywhere, landed on the same answer."

Ask

Host: The pilot's winning question, asked outside gyms in Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore and Kolkata, each in the city's own language.

Cut

Five cities, five languages, the same verdict, back to back.

Close

Card: India decided. We don't sell hype.

Edit style

City name and language on screen with each answer, English subtitles throughout. A 30-second national cut, plus one ad per city in its own language for regional targeting.

Why round two

It is the biggest brand ad in the plan, and it should carry a question we already know works. The pilot finds that question in one city; round two takes it to five.

04 · The pilot

One day, three tests, one answer

The pilot goal

Find which reason sells without a sale: the label, the taste or the stack. Then lead every ad with it.

Where

One city you pick. Outside two busy gyms.

What we shoot

Tests 1, 2 and 4, with the product rotating across your range.

What you get

Product ads and brand mashups, two openings each, ready for Meta.

Does the opening work?Who is still watching at three seconds.Tells us the hook
Does the conversation hold?Watch time against your best ads.Tells us the story
Does it sell?Cost per first order, per test.Tells us the spine
Does it sell the range?Orders with two or more products.Tells us the cross-sell
Why a pilot first

One city and three tests keep the read clean. The winning reason becomes the brief for every shoot after it, across India.

The questions that usually come up

Before you ask

Where can we see your work?

The street format is at pplrated.com. The plan we built for Loam Science, a US supplement brand shooting in New York, is at loam.shaanks.com. On the call we walk you through ads we make for the brands we work with.

Do you handle everything?

Yes, end to end: flows, host, location, shoot, edit and captions. You approve the tests and send product.

Which cities and languages?

Most major cities in India, in whatever the gym crowd speaks there: Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Kannada, Bengali or English, with a host who speaks it. Every ad has English subtitles.

Who is the host?

A host we cast for the city, briefed on Beastlife before the day. Hosts aren't credited in the ads; the people on the street are the faces.

What can strangers say?

Whatever they taste and feel. Every fact about a product comes from the host, from the claim list you approve. No health or results claims from strangers.

Does Gaurav need to appear?

No. The tests work without him. If he wants to react to the street cuts, we write that in as its own ad.

What if the day falls short?

We aim for ten clean interviews per test. If the day falls short, we add a half day at our cost.

Who owns the ads?

You do. Paid and organic, Meta, YouTube, marketplaces and quick commerce, no time limit. Consent from each person is on film and comes with the files.

How do we start?

A short call to pick the tests and the city, then the claim list and the flows within the week.

From yes to a read

Four to five weeks

Week 1

You approve the three tests and the claim list. Product ships to the shoot city.

Week 2

Shoot day outside two gyms, the best interviews kept.

Week 3

First cuts, one round of changes, then the finished files.

Weeks 4 to 5

The ads run in your account. We read the four numbers together and name the winning reason.
