Project Brief:

In today’s cluttered digital environment, breaking through with authentic, peer-driven communication can be a game-changer—especially when the goal is to educate and activate users on a sensitive topic like mobile spam awareness.

A leading global media agency partnered with DiziDice to execute a high-impact awareness campaign for one of India’s top telecom brands. The objective was clear: build mass awareness across India about a new spam fighting initiative, using WhatsApp as the core channel for distribution.

Rather than relying on paid media or influencer-heavy campaigns, the strategy revolved around organic, peer-to-peer sharing across diverse WhatsApp groups. DiziDice was entrusted with end-to-end execution—from content creation to multilingual targeting to large-scale delivery.

Step 01

Challenges

1. Scaling Organic Reach Nationwide

The campaign needed to go beyond metro audiences and tap into Tier 2, Tier 3, and rural populations—across states, languages, and varying internet literacy levels.

2. Language and Cultural Diversity

India’s linguistic diversity required that the messages be customized in multiple regional languages while retaining a consistent tone, clarity, and brand neutrality.

3. Speed and Timing

The client expected delivery of 60,000+ group shares within a span of 7 days, with measurable traction. The campaign had a tight window and needed rapid execution.

4. Zero Paid Ads or Influencers

To maintain authenticity, no paid advertising, boosted posts, or celebrity endorsements were permitted. Every share had to come from a real group, by real people.

Solution - Strategy & Approach

Hyper-Targeted WhatsApp Group Mapping

DiziDice had built a proprietary database of active WhatsApp groups segmented by region, language, and category. For this campaign, we tapped into:

  • 60,000+ active WhatsApp groups with more than 250 to 1000 group members in each group.

  • Categories included: tech updates, job alerts, community forums, regional news, student hubs, family groups, and more.

  • Coverage spanned across 20+ Indian states and 12+ languages.

In-House Creative Production

DiziDice’s content team created a multilingual suite of educational creatives:

  • Short-form messages

  • Shareable infographics

  • Audio notes for low-literacy regions

  • Hyper-lightweight video clips under 1MB

These creatives were adapted into Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Punjabi, and Gujarati to maximize local relevance.

Peer-Based Distribution Tactics

We mobilized a team of micro-distribution coordinators who engaged directly with group admins and active community members to seed the campaign in trusted circles.

  • No bots or automation were used—each share was organic and human-driven.

  • Messaging was rolled out in phases to avoid spam detection or group resistance.

  • Timings were optimized based on region-specific WhatsApp activity peaks.

Real-Time Monitoring & Feedback Loop

We set up dashboards to track:

  • Number of shares per region

  • Forward rate estimates

  • Common user reactions

  • Drop-off or deletion patterns

Any non-performing formats or languages were quickly revised, ensuring message effectiveness throughout the 7-day window.

In an age where attention is short and distrust is high, this approach reinforced that the most effective communication isn’t loud—it’s localized, timely, and human.
