The Challenge
How do you make a sale event feel like a cultural moment?
Every brand does sale campaigns. Push notifications, email blasts, the usual. But we wanted something different. Something that would make the brand feel like it was everywhere — without the budget to actually be everywhere.
The Strategy: Meme Amplification at Scale
Instead of spending lakhs on traditional influencers, we went to where the conversations actually happen: meme pages.
The approach:
- Brief 126 meme pages simultaneously
- Give them creative freedom (we provided the hook, they provided the execution)
- Launch all posts within a 48-hour window
The Execution
Pages activated: 126 Total budget: ₹7 lakhs (including all handles and platform fees) Target reach: 7 million Actual reach: 9.74 million (39% above target) Total engagements: 498,000
Top Performers

Why It Worked
1. Cultural Speed
Meme pages operate at the speed of culture. They know what's funny right now, what references land, what their audience cares about. We trusted them with creative execution — and they delivered better than any agency brief could.
2. Coordinated Impact
126 pages posting in a 48-hour window created the feeling of ubiquity. "Wait, I just saw this brand everywhere" — but it wasn't because we outspent competitors. It was because we orchestrated a coordinated cultural moment.
3. Peer Voice Over Brand Voice
Nobody shares brand content because they love the brand. They share content because it makes them look good to their friends. Meme pages create content that people actually want to share.
The Result
The brand became India's #1 most engaged brand on both Instagram and Facebook — beating Swiggy and Zomato, both of which have significantly larger social teams.
The lesson: You don't need the biggest budget. You need the best strategy for making people actually care.
