Pre-launch creator buzz strategy for Indian brands: 6 weeks before launch: identify 15–20 micro creators in your niche. Send teaser product (even packaging only) with NDA — create exclusivity. 4 weeks before: send actual product to 8–10 top creators for 30-day trial. No posting yet — just genuine usage. 2 weeks before: coordinated "coming soon" Story content from 3–4 creators simultaneously. "I've been testing something..." format builds curiosity without revealing. Launch week: coordinated posts across all creator partners on launch day. Staggered posting through the day maintains trending momentum. Keys to success: (1) Genuine trial period before posting — content shows real usage. (2) Coordinated but not identical — each creator's own voice. (3) One launch event (even virtual) that creators can show as exclusive insiders.
