Mumbai: Sony Entertainment Television is all set to unleash a marketing campaign for Indian Idol 4 that will highlight the fact that the show goes beyond mere singing and transforms an individual in to a wholly groomed personality.
Sony Entertainment Television assistant vice president marketing Danish Khan said, "The campaign is a targeted effort to reach out to today’s youth with themes which are integral to their life – friendship, desire to stand out, spontaneity, personal grooming, high level of self belief, pride in preparation, high dependence on technology, giving something back to society and most importantly ‘a need to belong’ – captured very well in the line ‘Yeh Style, Yeh Music, Yeh World Humara Hai’."
All creative executions, media vehicles and partnerships will be utilized to create this youthful environment, multiple touch-points will promote consumer interface, ground events will drive brand experience and technology platforms will be leveraged to bring out the unique personality of participants as well as give an outlet for viewers to express their opinion.
The campaign is conceptualized and executed by Leo Burnett. The ad-film is produced by ‘Rising Sun Films’ and directed by Aniket. Still photography is by Suresh Natrajan and Satish Kambli
