50+ Campaigns: How VYRL South Breaks Non-Film Releases in Kerala with Zapplr

Universal Music India's VYRL South has run 50+ influencer campaigns with Zapplr - a creator wave plus a meme-page wave for every drop, from Ore Poli to Noolamala.

The challenge

What we were up against

A non-film single has no movie trailer, no star cast and no built-in audience waiting for it. VYRL South needed release-week discovery for its Malayalam-market drops - creator waves that make a song feel like it is everywhere at once, at independent-music budgets.

The approach

How we attacked the problem

  • 1

    Dual-format launches: a content-creator wave plus a meme-page wave for each release, timed together

  • 2

    Malayalam-native creators matched to the mood of each track - dance, lifestyle or comedy

  • 3

    Format splits per song: separate dance and meme legs so each audience gets a native treatment

  • 4

    Release-week timing held tight, with the same playbook repeated for every new drop

The execution

How it played out

50+ campaigns and counting. Release after release, the same rhythm: a creator wave and a meme-page wave timed to the drop. Zapplr is now the on-the-ground creator engine for VYRL South's Malayalam releases.
