Galvor · AI Influencer Intelligence
Six case studies showing how AI-powered discovery, vetting, onboarding, and analytics drive real outcomes for brands across the GCC and India.
Context
TVA Group, now part of Dentsu, was tasked with launching a heartwarming influencer campaign around motherhood and family bonding for two clients simultaneously—StyleUp (Aditya Birla Group) and Flipkart Fashion. The goal went beyond finding popular creators.
The campaign required influencers whose connection with their mothers came through naturally and frequently—something no basic search method could surface.
Challenges
Solution
Topic Detection Through NLP-Powered Caption & Transcript Analysis. Galvor's AI-powered influencer intelligence platform leverages advanced Natural Language Processing to semantically analyse influencer content across platforms.
Impact
Why it matters
The right influencer isn't just someone with reach—it's someone with a real story to tell. AI-based topic modelling lets you discover influencers who align with the emotional depth of your campaign, scale storytelling-specific discovery without compromising nuance, and deliver campaigns that feel genuine and audience-aligned. Emotion + intelligence = resonance.
Context
V Perfumes, a premium UAE fragrance house known for its modern take on traditional scents— oudh, bakhoor, and musk—was planning a storytelling-first influencer campaign across major GCC cities. In a country where immigrant communities form the cultural majority, the brief wasn't about showcasing luxury. It was about speaking in their languages.
The brand needed influencers using the hyper-local voices heard in homes, souks, salons, and taxis—ensuring products felt culturally familiar, not aspirationally distant.
Challenges
Standard influencer tools could filter by country, follower count, and general category. But they couldn't answer:
Manually checking every post and video would be slow, subjective, and impossible to scale under a tight timeline.
Solution
Impact
Days of manual vetting eliminated
Language-verified creators shortlisted
Organic engagement via native-language content
The campaign didn't just showcase fragrance—it evoked memory, belonging, and personal identity. Content in native tongues felt like a conversation, not a promotion.
Why it matters
In diverse markets like the UAE, hyper-local relevance beats broad appeal. For brands serving immigrant or multicultural audiences, heritage products, or community-first campaigns— language is the bridge to trust.
Context
Amazon India runs high-impact creator-led campaigns on its live commerce platform—where brands showcase products and engage buyers in real-time. Every product demands a very specific kind of influencer. Shaving kits need bearded, fashion-forward creators. Baby care products need parenting influencers—but not just any parent; ones with kids under 3.
Challenges
The manual process before Galvor:
Time-intensive, inefficient, and subjective—especially for fast-turnaround live commerce events.
Solution
For the Baby Care Products Campaign, the brand needed parenting influencers with kids under 3.
Impact
Man-days saved in influencer discovery
Highly relevant shortlist delivered instantly
More time for scripting, pre-production, and creative
Why it matters
AI can drastically reduce time-to-launch, even when nuanced criteria like "parent with a toddler" are involved. You don't need to compromise between speed and specificity. If your team is scaling live commerce or category-specific influencer pushes, visual attribute discovery gives you an unfair advantage.
Context
For the MacBook Air M4 launch in 2025, Sharaf DG—the UAE's leading electronics retailer—had two goals: build a brand-safe creator roster that authentically represented the Apple ecosystem, and convert online buzz into real footfall across its flagship stores in Dubai.
In a market saturated with creator-led tech content, one misaligned post from an influencer who'd previously endorsed Windows laptops could undermine the entire campaign. Getting the creator selection right wasn't just a brand safety exercise—it was the foundation for driving people into stores on launch day.
Solution
Impact
Content views across the campaign
In-store visits tracked via UTM links
View-to-visit conversion rate
Brand safety — zero competitor conflicts found
Why it matters
Brand safety and commerce aren't separate goals—they're two sides of the same coin. Getting the right creator locked in is what makes a launch campaign credible online and effective on the ground. Precision in selection = performance at every touchpoint.
Context
Halo Care, a fast-growing men's personal care brand offering face washes, shaving kits, and beard oils, came to Galvor with a two-part brief: get a nationwide creator campaign live fast, then figure out what was actually working—fast. They didn't just want reach; they wanted a system for continuously optimising which creators, regions, and content tones drove the best results with urban millennial and Gen Z audiences across India.
Challenges
Traditional outreach looked like this:
Time-consuming, repetitive, prone to drop-offs, and difficult to manage for 50+ influencers simultaneously.
Solution
The brand partnered with Galvor's Influencer Onboarding Team—a dedicated service arm that handled end-to-end coordination with shortlisted creators.
Rather than committing the full budget to a single creator archetype, Halo Care and Galvor ran simultaneous tests across distinct cohorts—enabling sprint-by-sprint learning.
Testing whether a men's grooming brand resonated more authentically with creators who were visibly invested in their own appearance and grooming journey
Exploring how regional dialect, cultural nuance, and audience affinity shaped trust and purchase intent across different Indian demographics
Identifying which format drove stronger engagement and conversion intent for personal care
Galvor's tagging and performance analytics layer enabled sprint-by-sprint insights—the brand didn't wait weeks for a post-campaign debrief. Each iteration fed directly into the next: sharper creator shortlisting, tighter content direction, and faster time-to-launch every cycle.
Impact
Days to onboard creators — cut in half
Creators reached with personalised outreach
Cohorts tested simultaneously for faster creative learnings
Why it matters
Launching fast is table stakes. The real edge comes from building a system that tells you what's working fast enough to act on it. Structured creator experimentation—with the right analytics layer—turns every campaign into a learning loop. Launch fast. Learn faster. Scale what works.
Context
Flipkart Fashion, one of India's largest fashion e-commerce platforms, engaged TVA Group for a full social audit spanning 6 months of content, ad spend, and influencer activity. The ask: go beyond vanity metrics and surface the specific content formats, tones, and creator archetypes that actually drive followers, engagement, and cost efficiency.
Galvor's AI-powered analytics engine processed 242 posts, ₹30L+ in video ad spend, and a sample set of creator profiles — delivering an intelligence framework that feeds directly into future briefs.

Content Type Analysis
85% of all content is Video, with 100% of ad spend directed at Video. Carousel posts — despite being less than 2% of content — delivered the lowest Cost Per Follower (CPF) and highest engagement depth, making them a significantly underutilised format.
| Post Type | # Posts | Followers Gained | CPF (INR) | Audience ER | Engagement Depth |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carousel | 4 | 1 | — | 0.10% | 6.17% |
| Image | 36 | 17,650 | — | 0.06% | 2.98% |
| Video | 237 | 250,172 | ₹18 | 0.09% | 3.85% |
Image & Carousel — Visual Analytics
Contest and giveaway posts — and content tied to Big Billion Day — drove significantly higher engagement. Posts around generic Independence Day themes or plain product displays consistently underperformed.
Galvor's visual AI analysed pixel coverage of text across all image and carousel posts. Both likes and comments peak when text occupies 20–30% of the post frame — and decline sharply beyond 30%.
Reels — Best Performing Formats
| Metric | Best Formats | Approx. CPF |
|---|---|---|
| Lowest CPF | Interactive Stories · Brand Values | ₹5 – ₹10 |
| Highest Engagement Rate | Limited-Time Offers · Brand Values | ₹20 |
| Highest Engagement Depth | Contests & Giveaways · User Generated Contests | ₹20 |
| Metric | Best Tonalities |
|---|---|
| Lowest CPF | Optimistic · Friendly |
| Highest Engagement Rate | Informative · Optimistic |
| Highest Engagement Depth | Encouraging · Positive |
The Hook Advantage
One of the most actionable findings from the audit was the correlation between creative hooks and Reel performance.
Of top-performing Reels had a funny/narrative hook (e.g. New Year Resolution, Judgemental Neighbour, Murder Scene)
Of bottom-performing Reels had a hook — plain styling videos without setup consistently underdelivered
"Bindoor Chachi" concept · 46,991 followers gained · CPF ₹11.38 · ER 0.08% · Depth 4.41%
"Majnu's love for Laila" styling reel · 33,796 followers gained · CPF ₹6.84 · ER 0.06% · Depth 5.41%
"Airport Pap" look styling reel — no hook · 3 followers gained · CPF ₹304.84 · ER 0.02%
Creator Performance — Sample Set
| Creator | Median Reach | Median Likes | Median Comments | Audience ER | Engagement Depth |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flipkart Fashion (brand) | 154,195 | 1,912 | 40 | 0.58% | 2.09% |
| Abhinav Mahajan | — | 103,107 | 65 | 31.06% | 0.06% |
| Aditya Vashisht | — | 56,418 | 40 | 16.99% | 0.07% |
| Abhishek Kumaarr | 12,225 | 5,641 | 169 | 1.70% | 3.00% |
| Binita Budathoki | 34,515 | 1,490 | 29 | 0.45% | 1.95% |
| Moonchild | 37,457 | 1,331 | 31 | 0.40% | 2.33% |
Note: Creator data based on sample set of 1 post each. Abhinav Mahajan and Aditya Vashisht lead on raw likes & audience ER; Abhishek Kumaarr leads on comments and engagement depth.
Why it matters
This audit turned 6 months of content into a playbook. Funny hooks beat plain styling. Contests beat product shots. Text coverage of 20–30% beats both zero and too much. And the cheapest follower acquisition (CPF ₹6–₹18 via Video) coexists with the deepest engagement (Carousel at 6.17% depth). You don't have to guess at what works— Galvor makes the brief write itself.
