MUMBAI: The launch of vivo T4x on Flipkart took an unexpected turn with the Suvidha Ke Liye Khed Hai campaign, conceptualised by creative and entertainment agency Only Much Louder (OML). The campaign quickly captured public attention, becoming a viral sensation and securing the top trending spot on X (formerly Twitter).
Rather than promoting convenience as a benefit, OML took a fresh approach highlighting the unintended ‘problem’ caused by a device that eliminates everyday struggles. The vivo T4x, powered by a Mediatek Dimensity 7300 Processor and a massive 6500mAh battery, removes common frustrations like lag, buffering, and battery drain, leaving users without an excuse for breaks or distractions. This clever spin resonated widely, sparking conversations across social media.
Executed through a trans-media strategy, the campaign seamlessly integrated high-impact OOH placements, digital activations, and website integrations to maximise engagement. A standout moment was Flipkart’s playful ‘formal apology’ for making life too easy, which became a major talking point online. Influencers such as Riyaz Ali and Byomkesh joined the conversation, while meme pages like Naughtyworld, Laughtercolours, and The Sarcastic Page amplified the campaign’s reach with viral content.
OML SVP revenue Pankaj Malani, commented, “We’ve all experienced the frustration of a phone running out of battery at the worst possible moment whether mid-game, during a binge-watch session, or on an important call. Working with Flipkart, we turned this universal experience into an engaging narrative, highlighting how the vivo T4x’s 6500mAh battery ensures uninterrupted usage, leaving no room for excuses.”
By turning convenience into an unexpected dilemma, the campaign struck a chord with audiences across demographics. The humorous messaging and innovative execution ensured that the vivo T4x launch was not just another product release but a widely shared cultural moment.
