Nickelodeon begins 2023 with a new anthem and a campaign “#DoTheNickNick” featuring Nicktoons to celebrate kids and encourage a positive outlook for the year.
Written by Gulzar and sung by Armaan Malik, the anthem opens with the brand’s promise of ‘Nick for Kids, Kids for Nick’, reiterating that as a franchise Nickelodeon has kids at the heart of all that it does and is by their side through happy and tough times.
