How to make your business go viral 5 proven strategies for explosive growth

Let’s cut the fluff; you’re here because you want your business to blow up. You don’t want steady growth; you want explosive, eye-popping, trend-setting virality that puts you a step ahead and leaves them gasping for relevance.

Tired of safe, forgettable advice? This blog will break down the real, proven tactics to make your brand impossible to ignore and get people talking.

Ready to cause a stir? Let’s get started.

1. Nail your hook

Virality starts with a hook so sharp it makes people stop scrolling now. Forget safe, forget boring; your hook needs to hit like a punch. It’s the bold statement, the controversial take, the moment that sparks curiosity.

For example, remember when Balenciaga dropped a $1,800 handbag that looked like a bag of Lay’s? Ridiculous? Yes. Viral? Absolutely. They didn’t sell a product; they sold a whole buzz.

So, your move is to find what makes people feel, surprise them, shock them, and play to win.

2. Be loud, be real, be you

Virality isn’t for the beige brands. The world doesn’t need another “aspirational” lifestyle shot or a predictable carousel post. People crave authenticity, but make it loud, messy, and real. At Morph Collective, for example, we're not afraid to push boundaries. 

You should stop watering down your brand to appeal to everyone. Stand for something, be polarizing, because the more you lean into what makes you unique, the more people will rally for and against you, and that’s fine.

3. Jump on trends 

Viral brands own the trends. They take what’s hot and twist it into something that feels fresh, unexpected, and unmistakably theirs.

Think of the Barbie movie. Countless brands jumped on the pink wave, but the ones that went viral? They reimagined it in their voice. 

Whether it was disruptive fashion drops, bold packaging, or even entire store takeovers, they didn’t just join the trend; they bent it to fit their story.

Identifying a trend is what you should do. Now, ask yourself, “How can we twist this idea into something unexpected? How can we make it ours, louder, weirder, and bolder?" Then execute as fast as you can.

4. Create shareable moments

Content is like a chain reaction; you give people something so cool, funny, or shocking that they have to share it. It’s not about begging for likes; it’s about creating moments people want to pass along.

Here’s what to do:

  • Drop a limited product with an insane backstory.
  • Host a giveaway so crazy it makes people think, “Is this for real?”
  • Do something outrageous enough to make jaws drop and thumbs tap.

Whatever you do, make it shareable. Let people shine while sharing moments with you.

5. Build hype 

Ever seen a trailer that makes you think, I need to watch this movie right now? That’s the energy your campaigns need. It’s not just what you say; it’s how you build anticipation, tease your audience, and make them desperate to see what’s next.

This is how you make a buzz:

  • Tease your next product drop mysteriously.
  • Leak a controversial detail.
  • Use storytelling that hooks people into your world.
  • Make them feel like they’re in on a secret, one they need to share.

Your action plan

  • Be bold, not beige
  • Make people feel something
  • Own trends; don’t chase them
  • Create shareable, brag-worthy moments
  • Tease, hype, build anticipation

Your brand has the potential to go viral. However, it won’t happen by playing it safe. It’s going to happen by being unapologetically disruptive.

You want explosive growth? Time to shake things up.
