What is the Social Proof Mashup ad format?

This is when you splice together snippets from five, ten, or twenty different people all saying variations of the same thing — "I love this," "game changer," "totally works." The hook is sheer volume: instead of trusting one stranger, the viewer sees a parade of real faces reinforcing the same message, which creates a bandwagon effect. It works best when you're retargeting people who've already shown interest but need that final nudge to feel like they're joining a crowd, not taking a risk.
