    Mumbai: Embracing the true spirit of World Brandy Day, Mansion House Flandy launches its brand proposition, titled ‘Welcome The Now’ on Digital today through an exciting music video campaign that is a celebration of the distinctive and disruptive flavors of its latest offering.

    Launched in collaboration with Big Bang Music and Collective Creative Labs, the music video is a testament to the power of intergenerational friendships. The music anthem sparks conversations, openness and celebrates the richness of connections made when people from different age-groups become friends.

    Spread across key South Indian target markets, the campaign celebrates World Brandy Day in an interesting way by converging generations through a vibrant musical anthem.

This visual feast skillfully captures the campaign’s essence—spontaneity and simplicity that foster cross-generational friendships. Chatterjee’s lens brings to life a rich tapestry of visual storytelling with Flandy’s exuberance.

    Apart from a robust performance marketing campaign as part of the campaign marketing efforts, the brand has collaborated with top Telugu influencers, including actor cum professional basketball player Arvind Krishna, accomplished actress-model Tejaswi Madivada, and charismatic comedian Gully Boy Riyaz who feature in the video & add a dynamic touch to the campaign’s narrative.

    Through the brand proposition, the brand manages to redefine the norms of spirits marketing by using the power of music to drive home key messages of  shared wisdom, breaking societal stereotypes, bridging generational divides, and celebrating key moments of life to the fullest

    StoryBoats CEO Antony Rajkumar who leads the brand strategy and creative mandate for the Mansion House portfolio, explained, “Flandy isn’t just a drink; it’s a disruptive flavor innovation in the Brandy category. We envisioned more than a conventional campaign; we conceived a movement that celebrates life, friendships, and the vibrant spirit of now. Beyond a beverage, Flandy is a catalyst for a cultural shift.

    Conceptualised by the higher education company upGrad to drive the productive habit of learning from home during quarantine and produced by Big Bang Music and KWAN, the partners have joined forces to bring together this eclectic mix of pop culture icons across film, music, corporate, TV and comedy for the upskill anthem. The three video renditions for the same song have been conceptualised, written, shot and edited in all of 72 hours, being directed remotely on video calls.

    Big Bang Music CEO and co-founder Gaurav Wadhwa said: “These are unprecedented times and while it’s important to keep the spirit alive, it’s more important to gear up for the world to come because we all know there is light at the end of this tunnel. World over, life will now be viewed as before and after the virus – BC and AC will have a new meaning in ‘Before COVID’ and ‘After COVID’ and we need to prepare for that! At Big Bang, we truly believe that music unites like no other and no better time than now to encourage people to use this ‘forced’ time at hand meaningfully."

    “Influencers are an integral part of any campaign, and more so today as they become custodians for keeping the morale high and mindset positive during the pandemic. We have carefully put together renowned and diverse names to be able to reach out to a large cross-section of people and encourage them to be productive while locked down in their homes. It’s been an amazing collaboration where an edtech major has chosen music as their preferred route of disruptive communication,” added Kwan founding partner and COO Dhruv Chitgopekar.

     “While everyone is adapting to the new normal, it’s time we to be cautiously optimistic and look at the silver lining of the pandemic. With this upskill anthem, we want to encourage people to stay home and use the time meaningfully to enhance their skillset which otherwise would have parked in their to-do list. Preparedness for the coming economical storm is essential so that the youth and the working professionals can smoothly bounce back to their careers or make a new transition once we resume to our regular lives,” concluded co-founder and MD upGrad Mayank Kumar.

    As a part of the campaign #AageKiSoch, influencers in the music video will tag their friends and urge them to "Bahar Nahi, Ab Tu #AageKiSoch" epitomising the future-forward thinking that, we need to do during the lockdown. The idea is to create a chain of audience propagating the message of strictly staying at home and using this time to upskill oneself with upGrad's educational programs in the areas of Data, Technology and Management.
