Festive season

Diwali, Pongal, Eid, Onam, Durga Puja — every festival is a different week in a different state.

Why creators, here

Festive demand is regional and time-boxed. A national festive film misses that Onam and Diwali are six weeks apart and two languages apart. Creator campaigns can be staggered by state and briefed around the actual rituals — the sweets, the gifting, the guests.

The play

  1. Map festivals to states and weeks; state one intent per festival.
  2. Brief around the ritual, not the product — the sweet box on the guest table, the Pongal pot, the iftar spread.
  3. Activate family and home creators who already post festive content every year.
  4. Front-load gifting packs; back-load pantry restock.
  5. Repeat the best creators next season — festive audiences remember faces.

Creators to activate

Family vloggers, home cooks, festival culture pages, regional lifestyle accounts.

Formats & platforms

Recipe Reels, gifting unboxings, festive-prep vlogs, live cooking sessions.

The intent, as you would state it

I want gifting-pack sales for Onam across Kerala, from family and home creators, on Reels and YouTube, in the two weeks before Thiruvonam, in Malayalam.

What to measure

  • Gift-pack orders by district
  • Views and saves in the festive window
  • Share of voice against category in the state

Watch-outs

  • Book creators early — the good ones are full a month before Diwali.
  • Respect the ritual; a wrong detail in a festive post is what trolls feast on.
