The Challenge
The client had a strong product — an interactive science playground for families — but faced three major constraints:
No influencer budget
Low initial awareness
Urgent need to increase ticket sales quickly
Paid ads alone were too expensive for discovery-stage growth, and traditional PR was slow. The goal was clear:
drive real ticket sales fast, without paying influencers.
Nexted designed a zero-cost influencer seeding strategy focused on relevance, volume, and speed.
Instead of chasing celebrity influencers, we focused on micro- and mid-tier family creators with high trust and real local audiences.
What We Did
Identified 100+ highly relevant influencers
Singapore-based family, parenting, lifestyle, and kids activity creators
Focused on engagement quality, not follower count
Built personalised outreach messages
No mass DM spam
Each message tailored to the creator’s content style and audience
Offered value, not cash
Free family tickets
Exclusive early access
Clear content ideas, but full creative freedom
Created a posting wave
Coordinated content over a short time window
Ensured constant visibility across Instagram feeds and Stories

The Results (30 Days)
📈 20× increase in ticket sales
100+ influencer collaborations — all unpaid
Dozens of authentic Reels, Stories, and posts
Massive spike in social reach and brand awareness
💰 $0 spent on influencer fees
The playground became a “must-visit” family activity on social media within weeks.
Why This Worked
Parents trust real parents, not ads
Volume + authenticity beat single big influencers
Local relevance drives action faster than global reach
Experience-based products convert extremely well through creators
This campaign proved that smart strategy can outperform paid media — even with zero budget.
