Myntra picks Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma as its first official brand ambassadors, launches musical campaign 'Go Myntra-la-la'

Fashion brand Myntra has launched a campaign titled ‘Go Myntra-la-la’, bringing alive the joyful experience of shopping for fashion on the brand’s platform. The campaign kicks off with an ad film starring Myntra’s first official brand ambassadors, cricketer Virat Kohli and actor Anushka Sharma.

The film taps into music as a key element and delivers a musical anthem for Myntra. The tune symbolises the joy of shopping for fashion on Myntra and the music is adapted from La Vern Baker’s famous song Tra-la-la.

The campaign thought was inspired by Myntra’s vision to offer an online shopping experience for fashion that is as enriching and offers an unmatched user experience with hi-tech features that go beyond the act of adding items to a cart by delivering the joy of discovery, inspiration, experimentation and social experience. The narrative strings together various features and propositions like ‘Visual Search’ that allows users to click a picture of any merchandise and search for it on the Myntra platform; category stores like Sneaker Store that allows for relevant category curation; ‘Try & Buy’ which enables users to physically try out multiple clothes from the comfort of their home before making the final purchase; personalised stores for a more involved shopping experience; and finally ‘Myntra Insider’ the brand’s loyalty programme.

The musical film opens with viewers witnessing Anushka pushing a shopping cart with a man sitting on it, who is none other than Virat. It then goes to Anushka, walking in style as she comes next to a fashion billboard, she whips out her smart phone and taps the Myntra icon and scans the floral dress on the billboard. The app throws up the same dress, ready to be shopped. Anushka continues her walk with the new dress. The film then cuts to Virat browsing through various sneaker options to choose from before he settles on his perfect pair.

Anushka is then shown busy trying various options of dresses delivered to her doorstep to choose the one that fits her the best. Virat is shown at a game arcade browsing jackets on the Myntra app before settling on one and joining his friends for a game of foosball. Anushka then browses through lipstick shades and picks a new favourite before she taps on the Myntra Insider icon, and is transported to a place of luxury and royal treatment, a reference to the benefits of being a loyal customer or an insider. The film goes back to the couple enjoying a moment of fun with a shopping cart.

Amar Nagaram, Head, Myntra-Jabong, said, “Myntra has transformed the overall dynamics of the online fashion industry by offering shoppers unmatched experiences. Technology is enabling us to understand consumers and their fashion needs, resulting in the development and implementation of several innovative features and conveniences on our platform, which have been highlighted vividly in this new campaign.”

“The association of Bollywood and sports with fashion needs no introduction and hence having Virat and Anushka as the face of this new campaign will enable us to build strong brand salience and establish the joy and convenience of shopping on Myntra,” he added.

The TVC is being aired across all leading national and regional channels, including entertainment and sports. The campaign will also be promoted across social, digital, OOH and print mediums.
