We wanted to find a simple human insight that could give us a strong creative platform and make the product naturally part of the story,\u201d said <strong>Raghav Bagai, Co-founder at SW Network<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat led us to the idea of looking at the everyday frustrations people have learned to live with and turning them into something entertaining,\u201d Bagai added.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs Lava enters the UK market, we wanted to introduce the brand with transparency and relatability. The campaign reflects the true essence of our brand persona, consumer-first, confident and setting out to change the experience quotient in the mid-tier segment,\u201d said <strong>Puravansh Maitreya, Head of Marketing at LAVA International Limited<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe AGNI 4N is designed to give consumers an experience free of compromise, and this campaign brings that thought alive in a way that is easy to comprehend, with a little fun,\u201d Maitreya concluded.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, <strong>Shubham Chawla, Business Head at Youthbeat<\/strong>, said, \u201cOver the last two years, we\u2019ve seen a significant shift in the global creator ecosystem, with YouTube emerging as a major platform of choice for creators worldwide. For this campaign, we wanted to go a step further and bring together some of the UK\u2019s biggest and most distinctive creative voices.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTheir understanding of humour, character and storytelling helped us translate the idea into a world that feels recognisably British while remaining universal. The scale of the talent also reflects the ambition behind taking an Indian brand to a global audience,\u201d added Chawla.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe idea gave us a lot of room to play with character and performance,\u201d shared <strong>Jaunty, Producer and Director at Banana in a Suit (BIAS Studios)<\/strong>. \u201cShooting in London with a UK cast helped us ground the support group in a world that felt authentic and instantly recognisable. At the same time, working on the ground in London gave us the opportunity to bring together local talent and a global production,\u201d Jaunty continued.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The campaign will run across the UK through influencer-led videos, OOH placements and social media, extending the campaign film and AGNI 4N product story across multiple consumer touchpoints.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New Delhi, India \u2014 LAVA has partnered with SW Network to support the Indian smartphone brand\u2019s expansion into&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":669811,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[74],"tags":[282800,282801,282802,221550,44889,54357,18,19,387,2925,17,282803,63490,1590,282804,282805,282806,12275,282807,82],"class_list":["post-669810","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-agni-4n","tag-banana-in-a-suit","tag-bias-studios","tag-brand-partnerships","tag-campaign-launch","tag-creator-marketing","tag-eire","tag-ie","tag-india","tag-influencer-marketing","tag-ireland","tag-jaunty","tag-lava","tag-marketing","tag-puravansh-maitreya","tag-raghav-bagai","tag-shubham-chawla","tag-smartphone","tag-sw-network","tag-technology"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/117204949922453566","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/669810","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=669810"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/669810\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/669811"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=669810"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=669810"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=669810"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
