YU, a new age technology brand, and a fully owned subsidiary of Micromax, has appointed Contract Advertising as its creative agency for its overall brand campaign. YU has witnessed tremendous growth in the first year of its launch and announced products like Yureka, Yuphoria and its first flagship Yutopia.

After having built YU as a leading online brand, this year the focus will be to deliver the brand narrative in a refreshed way.

YU has built a noticeable presence for the brand and its products through well engaged social campaigns and by being close to its users and their feedback through community networks. YU is not only focusing on a true hardware driven smartphone experience but a complete consumer experience that's enhanced by an impeccable software as well.

Contract has been mandated to build this communication amongst the new age target consumers.
