01The Client

A challenger in a saturated category.

Perilicious is a modern fast-casual burger and grill concept built for Gen Z and young millennials across Delhi / NCR.

In a crowded F&B category, it needed a bold identity, an always-on content engine and performance marketing that turns awareness into orders and footfalls.

02The Challenge

Grab Gen Z fast, or get scrolled past.

A brand from scratch in a saturated Delhi / NCR burger market - and it had to lift digital orders and dine-in footfalls at the same time, on an always-on content supply.

In QSR, the brand and the ad are the same thing. If the content isn't good enough to share, it isn't good enough to run.

03Our Approach

Identity, community and conversion as one engine.

A single, integrated engine - distinctive branding, an always-on social and UGC machine, and data-driven performance marketing working together.

1

Branding & website development

  • A distinctive visual identity - custom font, bold colours and a playful tone for the fast-food space.
  • Packaging, collateral, standees and in-store branding for a consistent offline-online experience.
  • A simplified website with easy online ordering, menu display and loyalty-programme info.
2

Social media & UGC

  • Instagram and Facebook as the community engines - hero food photography, behind-the-scenes and dine-in shots.
  • #EatPerilicious UGC campaign - guests share burger shots and cheese-pulls, with top posts featured weekly.
  • Ongoing shoots and short-form video - chef in action, burger assembly and close-ups.
3

Performance marketing

  • Full-funnel Meta (IG/FB) and Google across awareness, consideration and conversion.
  • Geo-targeting around outlets and late-night diners; remarketing of visitors, engagers and past customers.
  • KPI tracking on CTR, CPC, CPA, footfall uplift and repeat order rate.

Black Truffle Smash, the hero shot

Appetite photography in the house style - big type, the flag on top and a burger styled to stop the scroll. The menu-drop format that did the selling before a rupee of spend did.

05The Outcome

From challenger to a must-visit destination.

Over a focused six-month period, Perilicious shifted from a challenger brand to a visible, engaging and conversion-oriented burger destination for young urban consumers.

UGC-driven posts and geo-targeted late-night ads were the strongest drivers of engagement and footfall - proof that in QSR, the community is the media plan.

By combining strong branding, social storytelling, UGC participation and data-driven performance marketing, the brand delivered significant uplifts across awareness, online orders and footfalls - establishing a robust foundation for scale.

Net effect

A brand-new burger label became a must-visit destination for young Delhi - 4.3X ROAS, ₹51 lacs of online revenue and a +22% footfall lift in six months.
