Dolby India

Dolby India took lead in their co-marketing campaign – ‘Dolby Main Suna Aur Dekha Kya?’, to address a common goal with its partner brands - LG, Sony, Samsung, Realme, & Xiaomi, highlighting unforgettable experiences delivered on devices with Dolby technology. 

The campaign has been designed to demarcate the difference between the Dolby Experience and a generic one, where the partner brands lend a hand to the potential of sight and sound that, together, makes for the perfect, immersive entertainment. The campaign showcases partner brands’ devices, and its functionality powered by Dolby tech of providing an immersive experience.

The D2C campaign leads with this " target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="">Master Film supported by 5 partner brand specific cut-downs films, that highlight a different content passion – TV Shows, Movies, Music, Gaming & Live Sports

About The Campaign

The core creative idea behind this campaign is inspired by a very common & colloquial reference made in India to a big revelation – You ought to Hear & See this. The film tracks a day in the life of an Indian family, and how Dolby brings alive experiences they love – TV Shows on the go, mobile gaming, streaming music, or their favourite movie in the living room.

The creative direction ushers in a sense of FOMO in our audience to pique their interest, making them realize that their experience is incomplete without Dolby. With the realization that you don’t just hear & see, you experience & feel entertainment come alive in Dolby, the campaign hopes to induce purchase of a Dolby-enabled device - #BuyInDolby.

The campaign features content passions that consumers connect with - a favourite TV Show, a Movie, a song, a mobile game or sports, encouraging participation from the brand's online communities, followed up with a hashtag reveal. What followed was unprecedented on social media --- the hashtag trended, not just for minutes but for hours.

In an interaction with Social Samosa, Sameer Seth, Director Marketing, Dolby India added on the co-marketing approach, “The campaign leverages co-marketing which is a concept that truly co-creates value among like-minded partner brands who are collaborating around a common goal that they have identified. This I believe is a very effective tool for building brand salience and equity. Co-marketing enables brands to broaden their audience and helps increase awareness and engagement. I call it a marketer’s delight as it truly allows partners to capitalize on the strength of each other.

In collaborative marketing or a co-marketing campaign, you can channelize the collective mind of each partner brand to amplify a common message. This will enable you as a brand to get additional additive reach and engagement. You could also reach out to unique audiences which your brand was perhaps not reaching all this while, so just imagine the collective mind of all partner brands coming together and that you would see with this campaign.”
