Viral Video Campaigns

The most powerful organic acquisition channel of the decade.

Organic short-form viral videos such as TikToks, Reels, and YouTube Shorts are fast becoming our go-to strategy for driving significant targeted installs and user engagement at scale.

Unlike paid media, viral video gives you compounding returns. A single video that resonates can drive tens or hundreds of thousands of installs at a fraction of paid CPI — and the engagement signal feeds platform algorithms, multiplying organic reach further.

What's included

Everything you get with our Viral Video Campaigns service

Creator strategy

We identify the right creators for your category, brief them effectively, and orchestrate cohesive multi-creator campaigns rather than one-off posts.

Concept & script development

Hook-driven video concepts and scripts informed by what's currently performing in your category — not generic ad templates that look like ads.

TikTok-native production

Production that feels like the platform, not like a TV ad bolted onto vertical video. Native-feeling creative consistently outperforms produced creative on TikTok and Reels.

Multi-platform distribution

Same hooks, platform-native edits across TikTok, Instagram Reels, Facebook Reels and YouTube Shorts to maximise the return on every concept that lands.

Paid amplification

When organic videos take off, we layer paid amplification (Spark Ads, boosted Reels, Shorts ads) on top to compound the reach while CPI is low.

Performance-led iteration

Weekly creative testing cycles. We double down on hooks and formats that drive installs; cut what doesn't. Campaigns get better every week.

Build a viral video engine that drives installs every week.

The biggest mistake we see app teams make with TikTok and Reels is treating it like Instagram or Facebook — posting beautiful brand content and wondering why nothing converts. Short-form viral video is its own discipline, with its own creative grammar.

If you want to build a viral video engine for your app — whether that means a single launch campaign or an ongoing always-on creator program — apply for a free 30-min strategy call.

Frequently asked questions

Is short-form viral video right for every app?

Most consumer-facing apps benefit significantly. Apps targeting Gen Z and younger millennials see the strongest results. B2B and niche enterprise apps are typically better served by other channels — we'll tell you upfront if your app isn't a fit.

How many videos do you produce per month?

It depends on the engagement and goals. A typical always-on viral video engagement produces 8–20 videos per month, mixed across creators and platforms, with weekly creative reviews to focus production on what's converting.

Do you handle creator outreach and contracts?

Yes. We identify creators, manage outreach, negotiate rates, contract them, brief them, and review every piece of content before it ships.

How do you measure viral video performance for app installs?

We use TikTok's app tracking, Meta's app SAN, AppsFlyer/Adjust attribution, App Store Connect referrer reports, and direct uplift modelling. We can attribute installs to specific creators, hooks and concepts so you know exactly what's working.

How much does a viral video campaign cost?

Production-only campaigns typically start around $5,000–$15,000 per month. Always-on creator programs with paid amplification typically range from $15,000–$50,000+ per month depending on scale. Apply for a strategy call for a tailored quote.
