Boat Lifestyle

boAt began by partnering with micro-influencers (10K–100K followers) in niche verticals like fitness, gaming, music, and lifestyle. These influencers showcased boAt products through authentic, situational content—gym sessions with earbuds, casual unboxing reels, personal playlists—which felt more genuine than traditional ads. Result: Achieved 3× higher engagement than standard campaigns and a 25% increase in conversion during influencer-driven promotions.
