Nov 11, 2025
Overview
Brand - Maverick and Farmer
Market - Premium Coffee in Bangalore
Campaign Length - 20 days
Goal - Turn short form attention into real footfall during a seasonal slowdown
The Problem
Diwali is usually bad news for cafés in Bangalore. A large part of the city leaves town. Walk ins drop. Organic discovery slows down. Intent goes quiet. Most brands either pause spends or wait it out. Maverick and Farmer chose a different route.
They decided to push harder when everyone else pulled back.
🧠 The Real Strategy Behind the Campaign
What most people miss is this The campaign did not start on day one. Weeks before Diwali, we were already building Maverick’s organic engine. Their Instagram page was doing the heavy lifting.
Over 500,000 organic views every month from just 8 reels
Content designed to hook fast and keep people watching
Strong engagement and retention signals
Enough social proof to make paid ads instantly credible
So when we launched paid ads, we were not starting cold. The audience already knew the brand. The content already worked. Paid just amplified what was proven organically.
💡 What We Actually Did in 20 Days
We kept execution tight and focused.
Ran hyper local ads only in Bangalore and around café locations
Used organic style creatives instead of influencer ads
Tested hooks and thumbnails every few days
No discounts. No Diwali offers. No gimmicks
Clear CTAs like View Menu and Find Us to drive intent
The goal was simple
Make people stop scrolling and give them a reason to visit.
