Captions and hashtags
Write captions in Assamese script or Roman Assamese depending on your audience, and add a short English line where helpful. Use local hashtags with city and language names to reach the right people.
Working with local creators
Local creators bring authentic voice and existing audiences. Brief them on key messages but let them speak naturally. Mixed-language content often reaches both local and wider audiences.
For national brands
National brands entering Assam can build trust quickly by adapting campaigns into Assamese, rather than only translating. A local team can adjust jokes, references and visuals so the campaign feels made for the region.
