Talking about the partnership, Chief Marketing Officer at Fox Star Studios Shikha Kapur said, “We wanted to take a leap ahead with social marketing for Judwaa 2. Twitter, being an effective conversation platform, was crucial to our plan to drive engagement with Judwaa 2. Together, we launched a partnership to create a sustained engagement plan with the fans of Varun Dhawan and Bollywood Movie-watching audiences over a period of 4 months and created promotion pillars like the Judwaa 2 Emoji launch and the multi-city engagement platform connecting fans with the lead cast of the film through hyper- localised targeting. We are delighted that the movie has received such amazing love on Twitter and hope to recreate the same magic for future campaigns.”
