Outpaced for travel appsLive for apps

Be the app they open the night before.

Outpaced finds the group-trip planners, carry-on packers and flight checkers your app is for, then writes the itineraries, packing lists and gate-change stories they send to the group chat.

  • The group-trip planner
  • The carry-on packer
  • The flight checker
  • The deal hunter

Who it’s for.

The people your travel posts are written for, one persona at a time.

  • The group-trip planner

    Always the one with the plan, chasing five friends for dates, deposits and a yes on day 3.

  • The carry-on packer

    Sixteen days, one bag, and a saved folder of every pack-with-me video she has ever watched.

  • The flight checker

    Checks the flight status from the night before, loves a year-in-review of miles flown.

  • The deal hunter

    Books flights at 2am 'just to look', saves every cheap-flight trick and error-fare post.

  • The saver of travel videos

    Has 200 saved TikToks of places and no idea how to turn them into an actual trip.

How it works here.

Strategy, content, distribution and routines, set up for travel.

  1. 01

    Strategy

    Finds who plans and who packs

    Audience research reads travel subreddits, app reviews and viral comments to find the group-trip planner or the carry-on packer, each backed by dated evidence and a verbatim quote it read.

  2. 02

    Content

    Trip moments first, app last

    One persona and one stage per carousel: a notes-app check list, a group-chat thread, a ranked list of travel pairs. Photos come from your library first, then stock: gates, plane windows, balconies.

  3. 03

    Distribution

    One account per kind of trip

    The agent suggests accounts to launch, each a persona and an angle, like a carry-on account and a group-trip one. Each posts at its next free slot, all on one calendar.

  4. 04

    Routines

    A routine before every long weekend

    Schedule runs per account from a prompt you write, like 'every thursday, two weekend-trip carousels for the planner', plus Run now. Nothing posts until you approve it.

What do carry-on travellers worry about before a long trip?

    the worst travel buddies, ranked by how they pack >>

    Pack-with-me is a top pillar. Affectionate ranking; the narrator ranks last, as the template asks.

  • Unfinished sentenceL1 · Top of funnel

    "i'm just looking at flights, i'm not booking anyth-"

    The 2am 'just to look' is a niche one-liner. The next slide is the confirmation email.

  • POV storytimeL2 · Top of funnel

    pov: it rained all four days, but the backup list in the shared plan saved every one of them

    Avoiding a trip-ruining mistake is a core motivation. The 'but' carries it, not the product.

Be the account people trust with the plan: checklists, stays, the group-chat logistics.

FAQ

No. Photos come from your own library first, then stock, and the travel moments that work here are easy to find: gates, plane windows, packed bags, balconies. You can swap any slide in the studio.

Carousels only state your product truths, and drafts are checked against your avoid list. Put exact fares on it if you'd rather keep them out, and you approve every post before it goes up.

Both. The brand is drafted from your website, so a flight tracker gets travel-day posts, a planner gets group-trip ones and a stays app gets 'check this before you book' lists.

Yes. The agent suggests accounts to launch, each one a persona and an angle with a sample hook, and every account keeps its own cadence on one shared calendar.
