Incredible India
Conceptualised with the Ministry of Tourism, Govt. of India, and shaped through shared creative stewardship, this path-breaking property and its now-iconic ‘Incredible !ndia’ logo went beyond creating a fresh identity for the country to become one of the most enduring expressions of India’s soft power.
ITB Berlin
In March 2007, the global India brand campaign was extended to the Internationale Tourismus Bourse (ITB) Berlin – the world's largest travel and tourism show – where India was participating as the Partner Country. The campaign used the entire city as a canvas, covering it with large billboards, branding on taxis and buses, vibrant graphic art and 3D installations. Signalling a new level of sophistication in India's branding strategy, the ITB campaign was a huge hit with international media and trade. By this time, we had become adept at planning city-wide aesthetic and cultural experiences that immersed people in the brand far more effectively than conventional marketing campaigns.
India 60
The year 2007 not only marked the 60th year of independence for India but also celebrated the arrival of India on the global platform. The Incredible India@60 campaign was launched in New York from 23rd-26th September, 2007 to coincide with the UN General Assembly session. The combination of the 4-day event and the General Assembly created the perfect opportunity to showcase the best of India to world leaders, top international business moguls and the public. Incredible India@60 took India’s extraordinary energy and cultural diversity to the watching world. Billboards at Times Square, taxis, buses, bus shelters, TV and radio, announced the arrival of a brand new India. With 8 ministries, 8 overseas partners and 41 events – including 4 gala dinners, 13 conferences and panel discussions, 9 cultural shows, 7 receptions and 8 ongoing events – it was a grand show that maximised India’s presence and visibility to the world.
