Interactive and activations are my interest anyway - anything with real world impact that would interest people outside of our ad-land bubble and the interactive category delivered best this week.

Cricket as a sport is a religion in India. And cricketers are worshipped by nearly 1.5 billion people. However, till date the Indian cricket team didn’t have a player from the North-Eastern part of India, till Riyan Parag came along. This is because the North-East is tormented by various natural calamities — torrential rain, hailstorms, snow, floods, landslides, earthquakes, and cyclones. It is subjected to extremes of temperature and humidity. However, these challenging conditions have only served to fortify the resolve of the region's inhabitants, who consistently demonstrate an ability to triumph against adversity. This includes not only everyday individuals but also emerging sports talent — weightlifters, cricketers, boxers, and footballers — whose passion propels them to international recognition including medals at the Olympics.

Our challenge was to sell a ‘good time’ to Gen Z, in a time where many Gen Z feel like they aren’t having a ‘good time’ thanks to the choices made by previous generations. There were two key truths that led the work: 1. Gen Z gets especially frustrated when people — and brands — pretend everything is all roses. They reject ‘business as usual’ in unusual times. 2. Despite the short straws they’ve been dealt, they remain defiant and optimistic.So we threw them a house party at a mansion that embodied intergenerational wealth - a cathartic dance party shot in a social media first style, held on the hallowed ground of wealthy boomers.
