When it comes to digital and marketing innovations for films, Red Chillies Entertainments Pvt Ltd has been at the top of the game. They have proved it yet again with their trailer launch of Farah Khan directed film Happy New Year. Red Chillies not just involved fans in the launch of the trailer that took place in Mumbai on August 14, but also opened up many new platforms for the fans to view the trailer as the launch happened. This was the first time that newer platforms on digital medium were opened for the trailer keeping the user preference in mind. Red Chillies used all possible Digital Platforms- Social Media, Mobile (VAS), DTH& Application Economy to ensure a large user preferred reach for the trailer.
While most of the films opt for the conventional Youtube platform, Happy New Year trailer was first launched on Facebook’s native video player using an application wherein the trailer was not only launched on the Facebook page of Happy New Year but also the timelines of all the users who subscribed to the app. “In keeping with the tradition of innovation established by Red Chillies, we were delighted to launch the trailer of Happy New Year for the first time across multiple platforms. This was also done to meet the demands of fans who are consuming talent in ways that suit them. This has given the trailer an unprecedented footprint and delighted the fans,” said Venky Mysore, CEO RCE.
If this isn’t enough, the trailer was also launched on the native video player of Twitter with personalized messages from the cast of HNY. “Red Chillies and the cast of Happy New Year understand the value of developing live, personal and interactive connections with their audience, which is only possible on Twitter. From the entire cast and crew sharing every moment of film production on Twitter via their personal handles to their launching personalized trailers and posters on Twitter, Happy New Year has set a new national and global standard in the movie business,” said Rishi Jaitley, Market Director, Twitter India.
