Rodrigo Vazquez (rodvaN) spent 15 years growing Cerebro Digital to 8 million followers across six networks, with no ads. ViralHunt is the workflow he built to run it: a live radar on 12 networks, a review gate and one composer for 11 networks. His own pages run on it every day.
The journey
· LaunchedFor fifteen years I have run Cerebro Digital, a science, technology and culture network for Spanish speakers. It grew to more than 8 million followers on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Threads, YouTube and Bluesky without a single paid ad. The method was always the same: spot a story while it is starting to move, add your own take, publish everywhere, every day. It works, and it burns people out. I watched good content managers quit over exactly that routine: ten browser tabs every morning, links pasted into a group chat and forgotten by noon, two people writing the same post, the whole decision of what to make living outside the tool we paid for. I paid Hootsuite, then Buffer, then SocialBee, and none of them helped, because a scheduler starts after the post exists. The last mile was never the problem. So I built the tool for myself first. One radar across twelve networks that shows what is rising right now, a board where a trend becomes an assignment, templates that turn it into a post, a review step so nothing wrong goes out, and one composer that publishes to eleven networks with the right copy for each. My own brands have run on it since the first version. Then I opened it to other creators and agencies, and now an AI agent does most of my team's daily work through it. Cerebro Digital is still my life's project. ViralHunt came out of running it, and everything I build serves it.
Advice to founders
Build the tool for the job you are already doing every day, and keep using it yourself. If you stop being your own first user, you start shipping features instead of fixing the morning.
Dreams & what's next
I am building toward a content team where the people decide and the machines do the repetition: the radar finds, the templates make, the reviewer checks, the composer publishes, and a creator with one brand or an agency with twenty runs the whole loop before lunch. Next on the road: video from templates, text to speech and edit passes, all driven by agents, so the daily output of a page with millions of followers costs an hour of human attention instead of a day.
