Media buying so simple your grandma could run a global campaign—no spreadsheets, no jargon, just pure vibe.
1. From Mad-Men Spreadsheets to One-Line Prompts
Remember when buying digital ads meant bidding calculators, placement spreadsheets, and a PhD in acronyms? That’s over. Just as “vibe coding” turned software into drag-and-drop blocks, vibe marketing turns media buying into a single conversational prompt:
“Promote my sustainable sneaker line to eco-conscious Gen Z in London for under $2 CPM.”
Hit enter. Thrads handles the rest—audience building, creative variations, budget pacing, even real-time optimization. If Grandma can text, Grandma can launch your next campaign.

Instead of “CTR Δ = +0.37 pp,” you get “Your ad resonated best with students on Friday nights—budget has been shifted there automatically.”
If a workflow can’t pass the Grandma Test, it doesn’t belong in the Vibe Marketing Era.
