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.

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?

Scope depends on production volume, creator partnerships and paid amplification. We tailor every program to your category and goals. and we'll recommend an approach that fits your stage.
