Mumbai: The Recording Academy and TBWA\Chiat\Day unveiled the campaign to promote the 51st Annual Grammy Awards, which are slated to be held on 8 February.
The Los Angeles-based agency created the campaign, titled "Celebrate The Music That Makes Us." The creative draws from the insight that music influences and inspires everyone.
"As a cultural event that inspires music fans everywhere, the Grammy Awards telecast is an opportunity to ‘celebrate the music that makes us,’ the way it makes us feel and the impact it has on our lives. This year’s ad campaign brings this idea to life by highlighting the songs that influence and inspire several artists whose music has made a lasting impact on music lovers worldwide — creating even greater anticipation for Music’s Biggest Night," said Evan Greene, Chief Marketing Officer of The Recording Academy.

This campaign celebrates the influence that music has on every one of us and asks the question: Do we make great music or does great music make us?" said TBWA\Chiat\Day executive creative director Rob Schwartz.
