The brief

A new restaurant, and a city that hadn't heard of it yet.

The Wild Fork was opening in Jayanagar, Bengaluru. The goal was discovery and buzz: get the restaurant in front of local food lovers with strong reach, high watch time and real social proof, in the launch weeks.

What we did

We hosted a launch night and let the creators tell it.

We invited 13 food and lifestyle creators to an influencer launch experience at the restaurant: the food, the room, the music and the crowd. We mixed tiers on purpose, with 2 nano, 8 micro and 3 macro creators, so we'd get both scale and a low cost per view.

Instead of one big drop, the reels went live one or two a day from 12 to 19 December, so the restaurant stayed in local feeds for over a week.

  • 13 collab reels from the event visit
  • Restaurant reviews from every creator
  • 13 influencer ad creatives the brand can run as ads
  • 30+ organic stories, beyond the planned deliverables

What we learned

Experience beats the menu card.

  1. Show the night, not the offer

    Reels that showed the ambience, the crowd, the music and the neighbourhood got more reach, watch time and retention than anything that sounded promotional.

  2. Mix your tiers

    A few big creators bring scale; a wide micro base keeps the cost per view low. That mix is how we got to ₹0.15.

  3. Watch for unpaid signals

    Creators posted 30+ organic stories beyond what was planned. That told us they genuinely liked the place, which is the kind of signal you can't buy.

  4. What's next: phase two

    Bring the best creators back for a second visit, add creator-linked New Year dining offers, and add lifestyle and travel creators, to turn launch buzz into visits.
