Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas wedding has been a series of marketing deals as the couple smartly monetized their wedding with well-integrated sponcons.
2018 was truly the 'wedding da season' where we were 'virtually' witnessed to some of the most-awaited jodis tying the sacred knot, that includes the likes of Deepika-Ranveer, Priyanka- Nick and how can someone miss the big fat Indian wedding of Mukesh Ambani's daughter Isha Ambani to Anand Piramal. While each nuptial had it's own charm and aura, we got our eyes more glued to the Nickyanka's social media posts which gave their fans updates and proceedings about their marriage while also integrating some smart marketing.
It all began when Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas sent their fans in a frenzy when they announced their love through an Instagram post on 18th August 2018. Since then everyone has been anticipating their wedding location, outfits, and ceremony. Fans have been at their fingertips for any information that came forward about their wedding. What people have missed is how they leveraged such an engaged audience by tying up with brands for a form of sophisticated brand endorsements, truly blended in their wedding madness.
From marketing designers such as Sabyasachi and Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla to having sponsored parties by JBL and Elit Vodka, there was a plethora of sponsored content that almost went unnoticed.
