MUMBAI: HMD has turned up the volume on self-expression with its new ‘Issa vibe’ campaign, starring actor and brand ambassador Sanya Malhotra. The spotlight? The stylish new HMD Vibe 5G: a smartphone designed less for numbers on a sheet and more for personality on the street.
Launched in Mumbai, the campaign marks a bold brand refresh for HMD in India. With the rallying cry “Claim your vibe,” the company is shifting gears from the usual spec-heavy smartphone chatter to something gen z craves more: authenticity, individuality and a touch of flair.
“HMD is moving the conversation from megapixels to meaningful moments,” said HMD, ceo & vice president, India & APAC, Ravi Kunwar. “It’s about how the device enhances life, not just its features. With Sanya and the Vibe 5G, we’re celebrating young India’s energy, confidence and creativity.”
The campaign film brings this ethos to life through Sanya’s dynamic presence, blending everyday moments with expressive style. “Claiming your vibe is about owning who you are with comfort and confidence,” said Malhotra. “For me, the Vibe 5g isn’t just a phone, it’s a creative partner.”
Crafted by And And Brand Partners, the film pulses with youthful energy. Creative director, Rajesh Minocha explained, “We wanted every frame to feel like a heartbeat of self-assurance. Sanya carried that effortlessly, inspiring audiences to own their identity.”
Beyond the screen, the campaign takes a 360-degree route: splashing across TV, print, digital, social, and even retail spaces. From bold digital storytelling to vibrant point-of-sale displays, HMD is ensuring the vibe is everywhere, right where young Indians are.
For a brand known globally as Human Mobile Devices, the message is clear: HMD isn’t just selling phones, it’s selling a feeling. And with the Vibe 5G, it’s loud, proud, and unapologetically stylish.
