Performance Overview

2.15 Million People reached across Tier-3 & Tier-4 markets

Higher than the typical industry average of ~1%

619% higher reach growth than projected

The Challenge

Biryani By Kilo is a popular brand in the Indian food industry, delivering fresh Dum-Cooked Handi Biryanis. They are widely recognized in 29+ top-tier cities across the country, and are now looking to strengthen their presence in Tier-3 and Tier-4 cities. However, expanding into towns, smaller cities, and emerging markets requires a different marketing strategy.

For this project, the challenges are:

• Build trust and familiarity with local audiences
• Promote Biryani by Kilo’s new menu of both veg and non-veg offerings
• Showcase the authentic cooking style and taste experience
• Increase digital visibility in smaller but highly engaged markets

Here, traditional advertising alone wouldn’t create the same impact. Therefore, Biryani by Kilo thought of strategic influencer marketing campaigns to deliver the brand’s authentic dum-cooked biryani experience.

The Goal

The campaign goal was to promote Biryani By Kilo as a go-to food brand for authentic Biryani, melt-in-your-mouth Kababs, Phirni & much more in emerging tier-3 and tier-4 markets.

Key menu items highlighted included:

• Drive reach of 300000 visits through influencer campaigns
• Generate relatable content that resonates with local audiences and inspires them to explore the brand’s menu
• Inspire audiences to try Biryani By Kilo’s food

The Strategy

Instead of relying only on large food creators, we adopted a multi-layer influencer strategy designed to maximize reach, visibility, and engagement. The strategy focused on:

1. Hyper-Local Creator Partnerships

We strategically selected creators from different regional markets to ensure the content felt authentic and relatable, and also resonated with local food lovers and families.

These influencers already had strong connections with their audience, making their recommendations more trustworthy.

2. Food-Focused Storytelling

Influencers shared their authentic experience of enjoying Biryani By Kilo, highlighting the taste, packaging, and freshly prepared biryani. The major points include:

• The aroma of freshly prepared dum biryani
• Traditional handi packaging
• Flavorful kebabs and sides
• The indulgent phirni dessert

Instead of promotional messaging, the content focused on genuine reactions and authentic food experiences.

3. Influencer Pyramid Approach

To ensure the campaign delivered both strong reach and meaningful engagement, we selected a diverse mix of creators across the full influencer pyramid. This balanced approach allowed us to combine authentic recommendations with large-scale visibility, helping the brand connect with diverse audience segments across emerging markets.

Nano Creators

Highly trusted voices with niche local audiences played a crucial role in building trust. Their highly relatable content helped introduce Biryani By Kilo to regional audiences in an authentic and credible way.

Premium Nano Creators

Small but highly active audiences that helped us generate high engagement rates while maintaining authenticity.

Micro Creators

Micro influencers helped scale the campaign by consistently generating engagement and sparking discussions around the food experience and menu offerings.

Macro Creators

With their larger audiences, macro creators amplified the campaign’s visibility and significantly expanded the overall reach.

Additionally, mom influencers and food creators were strategically included to make the content more relatable for families and everyday food lovers, further strengthening the campaign’s appeal across regional audiences.
