Havas Media, Innocean Worldwide collaborate for Hyundai's Grand i10 NIOS brand integration in TVF's web series

Havas Media India in collaboration with Innocean Worldwide and The Viral Fever (TVF) has rolled out a digital-first smart campaign for Hyundai’s Grand i10 NIOS.

Keeping up with the brand’s communication strategy, Hyundai drives the comeback of India’s popular family web series ‘The Aam Aadmi Family Vacation Special’, a TVF Originals by The Timeliners. Being the first family web show, it breaks away from the dramatic and clichéd TV daily soaps and lends a fresh take into the modern Indian family, its aspirations and hardships, which is well-portrayed by the characters in a simple yet realistic manner, giving it a new-age perspective.

The three-part series unfolds the story of a middle-class Indian family, the everyday conflicts they face and their journey into buying the family’s first car. The show not only seamlessly integrates the brand’s messaging and its features but also highlights the comfort, convenience and flexibility of owning a four-wheeler for a commoner and urges the audience to take progressive steps by making smart choices in today’s dynamic new-age world.

The campaign will be amplified through various in-show integrations, social media engagements, contests and more.
