Mumbai: Collective Creative Lab’s latest campaign for Liberty Shoes “Mera Joota Hindustani” captures the essence of Indian pride and ownership for Liberty’s latest launch of graphic sneakers. Rooted in the Swadeshi concept, this campaign resonates with an audience that has a strong preference for homegrown brands over international ones, a sentiment we’ve leveraged to great effect.

Set against the backdrop of Independence Day, the film showcases Liberty’s new range of shoes in a vibrant, celebratory environment. Collective Creative Labs has brought together people from various age groups, with a focus on the youth of India, to celebrate the rich diversity of cultures that make up our nation and the shared pride in being Hindustani.

Five artists MC Square, Riar Saab, Shilpa Rao, Karan Kanchan, and Killa K were brought onboard. The music, produced and composed by Karan Kanchan, is an infectious, groovy track that unites these talented musicians in creating a phenomenal song. Collective Creative Labs took the reins of this campaign’s creative production, crafting a visually striking world that embodies the India of today, leaving the audience with a powerful message: being desi is undeniably cool. Collective Creative Labs is the production arm of Collective Artists Network, India’s pop culture marketplace.

Collective Artists Network co-founder and chief revenue officer Sudeep Subash commented, “At Collective Artists Network, our mission is to be at the forefront of pop culture, and  ‘Mera Joota Hindustani’ campaign is a perfect example of that. We ensure we’re not just creating impactful campaigns, but also utilising an entire flywheel of Collective offerings that will create a lasting impact for our brand partners.”

Liberty Shoes head of marketing Barun Prabhakar said, “Mera Joota Hindustani is more than just a campaign—it’s a celebration of our roots, our individuality, and the vibrant spirit of Indian youth. By blending new age instances with a strong Swadeshi narrative, we’ve crafted a campaign that resonates with a new generation, empowering them to wear their identity with pride. Working with Collective Artists Network has been a pleasure where we could package the entire project right from music, talents and creative production, all under one roof and create an impactful campaign.”

Collective Creative Labs business head Sanjana Jain explained, “Pop culture drives today’s marketing, and our recent Liberty Shoes campaign proves how creativity and cultural relevance can hit the mark.
