# The Viral App - UGC & Influencer Marketing Agency for Mobile Apps

> The Viral App is a full-cycle influencer marketing and UGC growth agency that scales B2C mobile apps. We build creator-powered growth engines that deliver 10M+ views in 30-90 days. Founded by Lucas Patiri and Tomas Boismene. Based in Buenos Aires, Argentina with operations in New York City.

## What We Do

The Viral App helps B2C mobile apps scale through creator-led organic and paid growth. We recruit, manage, and optimize networks of creators who produce authentic short-form video content across TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and X/Twitter. Our model is built on volume, speed, and data - we test hundreds of content angles simultaneously, find what converts, and scale the winners.

We are not a traditional marketing agency. We build fully operational growth systems in 3 months that clients can run independently after our engagement ends. Every process, tool, creator relationship, and playbook is handed over.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### How does UGC scale mobile apps?
UGC scales mobile apps by creating authentic, native-feeling videos that drive organic discovery and paid ad performance. We recruit 5 to 60 creators to post on fresh TikTok and Instagram accounts, generating 300 to 3,600 videos per month. This lets you test dozens of content angles quickly, find winners, and turn them into high-performing ad creatives.

### What is better for app growth: micro-influencers or macro-influencers?
For most B2C apps, starting with micro-influencers delivers better ROI. They have higher engagement rates, more authentic audiences, and lower costs per conversion. We recommend starting with UGC campaigns to validate content angles first, then layering in a mix of nano, micro, and macro influencers in months 2 to 3.

### How long until we see results from UGC campaigns?
Most clients see initial traction within the first 2 to 4 weeks. Significant results - including 10M+ views and measurable install growth - typically come within 30 to 90 days.

### How much does UGC cost for mobile app marketing?
Quality UGC for mobile apps typically costs $20 to $25 per video. Packages range from 300 to 3,600 videos per month. Management fees range from $3,000 to $8,000/month. AI UGC offers even more cost-effective scaling with unlimited video variations.

### What results has The Viral App achieved?
Cal AI: $30M+ ARR, 5M users, 500+ creators, 1.5B+ views. Invoice Fly: #1 invoice app in the US, 90+ creators in under 2 months. Hevy: 3X ROI, opened Brazil as 2nd largest revenue stream. Knowt: 7.8M views, $0.93 CPM, 864 videos. SpoilMe: 9M views, $1.3 CPM, 12K downloads. VibeCode: $0 to $1.3M ARR in 2.5 months, 36M views.

### Do we keep the growth system after the engagement ends?
Yes. Our 3-month model is designed so you own the entire growth engine. We hand over all processes, tools, creator relationships, and playbooks so your team can keep scaling independently.

### What is AI UGC and when should I use it?
AI UGC uses AI-generated avatars and voices to create unlimited UGC-style videos. It is ideal when you need volume fast, want to test 50+ content angles quickly, or need to supplement real creator UGC campaigns.

### How is The Viral App different from other UGC agencies?
We focus exclusively on B2C mobile apps and build complete growth systems, not one-off campaigns. Our approach starts with UGC to validate content angles before scaling with influencers. You get a fully operational growth engine in 3 months that you own and can run independently.

### What types of apps do you work with?
We specialize in B2C mobile apps across all verticals including health & fitness, productivity, education, finance, lifestyle, social, and e-commerce. Our system works best for apps with strong product-market fit that are ready to scale user acquisition.

### What platforms do you cover?
TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, X/Twitter, and YouTube long-form. We also produce UGC optimized for paid ad creative on Meta, TikTok Ads, and Google.
