Viral Seeding Package

Strategic viral seeding thatcreates cross-content virality

The heart of indent's marketing. We design content with viral potential, distribute it across multiple creators, and generate cross-content virality.

Why viral seeding is in the spotlight

Put it next to PPL, authentic content and affiliate marketing, and the difference is clear.

  1. Reason 1

    A strategy that gives brands control of the message

    PPL depends on how effectively a celebrity delivers the message. Authentic content depends on the creator's ability to develop the content. Affiliate marketing depends on the creator's ability to sell. Viral seeding is the only strategy where the marketer's planning and strategy directly drive the outcome.

  2. Reason 2

    Scalability without a ceiling

    PPL is inherently limited to a small number of celebrities. Authentic content and affiliate marketing eventually run into the limited supply of suitable creators. Viral seeding, however, can generate impact far beyond the number of content pieces initially deployed.

Brands start with different strategies, but as they scale, they tend to converge toward viral seeding

In indent's data, viral seeding averaged 3.91x the views of authentic content at 2.06x the cost per piece. It costs more, but the upside is open.

More than just seeding. We build strategy.

The 3C process that puts the intent of the brand and product into seeding content

  1. Scenario

    1. Content

    We develop multiple content hypotheses based on the product and brand USPs, then translate them into content concepts.

  2. Cast

    2. Creator

    We select creators based not simply on followers, but on their ability to communicate through content and their experience in the relevant category.

  3. Operations and direction

    3. Campaign

    Rather than simply letting creators sell on their own, we coordinate them around the right timing and strategy, which improves both virality and efficiency.

Guidelines for reduced content variance

We don't simply provide creators with product information. We guide them through the content itself.

We analyze results and feed the learnings back into the next campaign

The next campaign's guidelines are built from these comparisons

We compare high-performing content against the overall content set to identify where their structures differed, element by element. These are examples of patterns observed in actual campaign reports.

  • Texture close-up
  • Repeated extreme skin close-ups
  • Captions stressing clinical results
  • Creator background caption in the first 3 seconds
