The challenge

Epepea is a Kenyan online supermarket with an AI shopping assistant. It needed people to understand a new kind of grocery app and see Epepea AI as their personal shopper, without leaning on paid media.

Organic growth

Every headline metric grew, without a shilling of ad spend

Over 28 days we published 145 Facebook posts plus Instagram content built around three pillars: business spotlight stories, Epepea AI education and everyday shopping moments. Instagram became the fastest-growing channel, with reach more than doubling and interactions nearly tripling.

What the data told us

Video earned 3x the reach of photos

Video made up 42% of posts but beat photos on every metric that matters. We used this to shift the content mix toward short video, with sub-10-second cuts for reach and 20 to 30-second cuts for engagement.

Content people pass on

Epepea AI launch posts were shared up to 6x more than average

The Epepea AI launch posts drew modest views but the highest share rate of the month: up to one share for every four viewers, against about one in 25 across the account. That is the signature of content people want to recommend, so it became a standing content pillar.
