Jack Say and Isaac Gibbons turned COVID boredom into TikTok gold, then built SmartAss toilet paper from their viral comedy empire.

Jack and Isaac reveal how they went from filming empty supermarket shelves during Melbourne's lockdown to creating a data-driven content machine with 15 success pillars.

The 15-pillar algorithm they use to predict viral content
How they turned their first TikTok video into a sustainable business
Why 85% of Australian toilet paper cuts down virgin trees (and how they're disrupting this) • The "orb" concept that protects their 20-year friendship in business
Their data-driven approach to brand building and audience analysis • How they got into Coles just 6 weeks after launching
Why they choose recycled, Australian-made over quick cash partnerships
