Too Yumm, an Indian snacking brand, has collaborated with Kinnect to launch #karareBeatsChallenge campaign with Virat Kohli.
The brand wanted to create engagement by leveraging songs from the Saregama library, owned by RPSG Group. To leverage Saregama’s extensive library and create engagement for the brand, Too Yumm! kickstarted a dance challenge featuring Virat Kohli.
With the special Karare Beats Filter, the audience was given a choice between 4 peppy songs. They were asked to choose one song and create a video of themselves changing a mundane situation by simply biting into the taste of Too Yumm! Karare. The 4 songs were remixed with Too Yumm!’s popular track “Karara Hogaya” to further show the transformation from boring to fun. To give this super-fun challenge the right push, many popular faces from the world of the internet were roped in, like Rithvik Dhanjani, Punit Pathak and many more. People across the platforms sent in their entries to win signed bats by Virat Kohli.
