Adworth Media conducted city-specific research to discover:

  • Trending local hashtags and engagement patterns
  • Emerging and established creators with student-aligned audiences
  • Audience credibility and relevance to Aakash’s messaging

In-Depth Regional Research
We began by conducting targeted research in each required city. Our team analyzed:

  • Instagram’s local engagement trends
  • Geo-tagged and hashtag-based discovery (e.g., #JaipurBuzz, #LucknowLife)
  • Community interest pages and local influencer networks.

Audience demographics and credibility (real followers, local relevance)

  • We started by exploring local Instagram trends, hashtags, and city-specific community pages.
  • We checked each creator’s content style, engagement, and whether their audience aligned with Aakash’s student-first message.
  • Then, we shortlisted a select few influencers and pages per city who stood out — people who weren’t just popular but relevant and credible.

This process helped us uncover both emerging creators and established community pages that had gained trust and a strong presence..

The shortlisted influencers were reviewed with the Aakash team. Once approved:

  • Influencers created personalized content
  • Celebrated real student achievements
  • Created localized stories that built genuine connections

The Result:
A campaign that felt rooted in local voices and student communities—authentic, engaging, and credible.

“The campaign generated over 500K+ impressions and extensive shares across reels and stories, strengthening Aakash’s visibility in key regions.”

Following this success, Adworth Media plans to:

  • Expand influencer outreach to YouTube and student platforms
  • Introduce student-centric challenges and UGC campaigns
