Volkswagen's 'Hello Goosebumps' campaign announces its new offering Virtus

Volkswagen has launched a new campaign for its newly launched sedan, ‘Virtus’. Titled ‘Hello Goosebumps’, the film conceptualised by DDB Mudra Group aims to plug in excitement and energy into the premium mid-size sedan segment by highlighting the thrill and joy of driving the new car.

The new Volkswagen Virtus aims to reignite the premium midsize sedan with its ‘Big by’ design, performance, safety, connectivity, convenience comfort, each element has been captured through the new TVC campaign.

Abbey Thomas, Head of Marketing and PR, Volkswagen Passenger Cars India, said, “With the launch of the new Volkswagen Virtus, our intention was to showcase the potential of the premium midsize sedan segment. The Virtus boasts of a striking design, exhilarating performance and German-engineered built and safety that has the ability to reignite the segment. Our communication positioning for the Virtus ‘Hello Goosebumps’ has been rightly captured by our partner DDB Mudra Group and amplified by PHD media in reaching out to our intended consumers. The combined efforts have elevated the excitement and thrill of driving sedans paving the way for an introduction truly befitting of the Virtus.”

Pallavi Chakravarti, Creative Head – West, DDB Mudra, said, “This sedan looks like a dream and drives like one too. ‘Hello Goosebumps’ captures the essence of the Volkswagen Virtus in a simple, visceral campaign that every passionate driver will undoubtedly relate to.”

Volkswagen’s media agency, PHD India, further elevated the launch campaign via its 360-degree incisive approach, covering all vital media channels, and crafting an effective marketing strategy.

PHD was tasked with building enthusiasm and maximising outreach amongst its target audience to amplify the launch experience of Volkswagen Virtus. The campaign kick-started on a high note with the ‘French Window Innovation’ in The Times of India.

The integrated campaign was further strengthened with an influencer marketing strategy featuring mega influencers like Tamanaah Bhatia, Yami Gautam, Mrunal Thakur, and more, perfectly encapsulating the essence of Virtus’ tagline - ‘Hello Goosebumps!’ through their own personal and professional journeys.

Monaz Todywalla, CEO, PHD Media, India, said, “Our partnership with Volkswagen gave us the opportunity to steer another big launch campaign to its true potential while staying true to PHD’s tradition of helping its clients make significant leaps in the marketing space. Utilising key strategies across all touchpoints to maximise reach, an outcome like this always gives us the impetus to continue building impactful experiences for brands like Volkswagen and elevate their marketing strategies to be a cut above the rest”.
