Case Study: Hooplaguru
Launching a US-Based App from India
How we took a Houston-based customer event app from concept to launch, acquiring over 5,000 users with a remote strategy.
The Challenge
Hooplaguru, a Houston-based startup, had an ambitious goal: to build a customer event creation app that would connect local communities. The challenge was twofold: they needed a complete brand and marketing strategy built from scratch, and they needed it executed by a creative partner in India who could deeply understand and connect with a US-based audience.
Our Solution
We operated as Hooplaguru's end-to-end creative and marketing arm. Our remote, integrated strategy was designed to bridge the geographical gap and deliver a powerful, authentic launch:
- International Brand Identity: We designed a vibrant, modern brand identity that felt native to the Houston market, focusing on universal themes of connection and community.
- High-Impact Video & App Content: We produced an energetic launch video and a full suite of in-app content, social media clips, and ad creative. All content was specifically tailored to resonate with the target demographic in Houston.
- Targeted Digital Launch Campaign: We ran a hyper-localized digital marketing campaign across Instagram and Facebook, geo-targeting the Houston area. This included running targeted ads and collaborating with local Houston-based influencers to build authentic buzz and drive app downloads.
The Results
Our remote strategy proved that great creative work knows no borders. The campaign was a resounding success, establishing a strong foothold for Hooplaguru in a competitive market.
"Aweslice was the perfect partner for our US launch. Their ability to understand our market from India and deliver a world-class creative strategy was instrumental in our success."
