Mumbai | 10th February 2020: upGrad today unveiled the first leg of their brand-new
campaign “#RahoAmbitious” with the launch of two TV commercials. The TVC revolves around upGrad’s aim to rekindle the spirit of ambition and passion for learning among today’s working professionals. This campaign will connect with customers across all touch points like television, print, digital and social media.
The 360-degree integrated brand campaign commences with the launch of two TVC’s that will be aired across 70 channels, including Hindi and other vernacular languages, across India.
Education in India is typically associated with discipline and seriousness and is yet to become a part of the popular culture. To break this taboo tied to education, upGrad has on boarded India’s most popular content creators The Viral Fever (TVF) and FilterCopy to shed light upon the campaign within the digital sphere. Such light-hearted, relatable, and humorous content will narrate the relevance of education in various walks of life and showcase how impactful online education has become in today’s day and age.
Nonetheless, the print-campaign will also be spread across India in English and regional languages tapping into a wider readership of Tier I and Tier II cities.
Talking about the campaign, Mayank Kumar, co-founder and MD of upGrad says, “With upGrad Raho Ambitious, we embark upon a new journey to provide 1 million working professionals with better learning sphere and equip them with a perfect blend of business
acumen and technical capabilities at the same time. The campaign reiterates upGrad’s core
belief of outcome-based learning through emotional messaging and real-life career transitioning journeys of learners. Such a twofold approach will not only break the stereotypical notions attached to education, but also reignite viewers hidden ambition.”
