Campaign Overview

AR Drawing approached ZQAO with an ambitious goal: to become the leading AR-powered drawing application in a crowded mobile app market. With limited brand awareness and stiff competition from established drawing apps, they needed a campaign that would generate massive organic reach while maintaining authenticity.

We developed a multi-phase influencer strategy targeting art students, hobbyist creators, and professional digital artists across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, focusing on educational content that showcased the app's unique AR capabilities.

The Challenge

Market Saturation

Over 200 drawing apps competing for the same audience with similar features and value propositions

Low Conversion

Traditional paid ads yielded only 0.8% install rate from impressions with high CPA

Budget Constraints

Limited marketing budget requiring maximum efficiency and measurable ROI

Our Strategy

Phase 1 Weeks 1-2

Creator Identification & Onboarding

Identified 150+ micro-influencers (10K-100K followers) in art and education niches. Focused on authentic creators with high engagement rates rather than vanity metrics. Developed comprehensive creator briefs and onboarding materials.

Phase 2 Weeks 3-6

Content Creation & Testing

Developed 7 content formats including tutorials, time-lapses, and before/after transformations. A/B tested approaches across different platforms to identify highest-performing content types and messaging angles.

Phase 3 Weeks 7-12

Scaled Distribution & Optimization

Launched coordinated posting schedule across all creators. Implemented real-time performance tracking and content optimization based on engagement data. Scaled to 300+ pieces of content per week.
