As India’s first crowd-sourced rap anthem, #SwagTantra, struck the right chord with MTV’s loyal following this Independence Day. The SwagTantra rap reflected the voice of young India. The rap anthem was an upbeat composition based on five words: Tamasha, Bharosa, Pahad, Guroor and Jalebi that were sent in by rap lovers across the country prior to Independence Day. After the scanning, the best rap verses were featured in the SwagTantra rap. Combined with the creative expertise of these gifted rappers, who are mentored by the judges Raftaar, Nucleya and Raja Kumari, the SwagTantra Rap was instrumental in giving an edge to the young rap lovers and reinforce a wave of change with the power of words and music. The #SwagTantra campaign celebrates the rap mania that MTV Hustle has brought to India.

‘Mera Wala India’ by Nickelodeon

Kids’ entertainment channel Nickelodeon addressed the challenges India is facing despite being in the 73rd year of Independence through their innovative campaign ‘Mera Wala India’. Taking a cue from what the ideal India should be from a kids’ point of view, the channel brought alive a child’s version of an ideal independent India.

As a part of the initiative, the campaign witnessed children across schools conducting a Reverse March to address issues such as water conservation, safety, cleanliness, education for all and stereotyping. Popular Nicktoon Shiva led the reverse march across cities encouraging positive behavioural change among kids. With the help of its digital and social media reach, the campaign encouraged children, urging them to express their version of ‘Mera Wala India’ and take a pledge to extend this positive change towards the society not only among the kids but also adults.

Comedy Central, the 24-hour English entertainment channel had a simple message this Independence Day with their campaign #LaughAsOne. Committed on making India laugh this Independence Day, Comedy Central’s #LaughAsOne celebrated India’s diversity because laughter has no race, religion, distinction and prejudice.

While each brand film enlivened the distinct identity of its audience, these campaigns by MTV, Colors Cineplex, Nickelodeon and Comedy Central celebrated the unique identity of Viacom18 – network with a humane purpose.
