Cheil Makes India Cheer For Neeraj Chopra In Samsung's Latest Ad Campaign For Olympics 2024

Cheil India has unveiled a new campaign for Samsung, celebrating the extraordinary grit, determination, and spirit of their Galaxy Z Fold series ambassador and super-user, Neeraj Chopra.

The campaign, titled “India Cheers Neeraj”, is a powerful blend of good visuals, sounds, and emotions that depict how an entire nation is rallying behind Neeraj as he gets ready for the Olympic Games.

The centrepiece of the campaign is a visually stunning 120-second film that brings together a powerful portrait of an Olympian toiling hard, practising a killer routine, while an artful blend of pan-India imagery shows how ‘his people’ are with him in spirit all the time. Weaving together scenes across the country’s diverse people and landscape, from the GenZ kids of a metro to serene rural landscapes of Punjab, from the artistic beauty of Kashmir to the rich dance forms of Southern India, the film captures not just the aspirations that Indians have for their hero but also his relentless pursuit to defy all odds and put India at the top again.

As per the agency, the film’s greatest triumph is in its rootedness and portraying Chopra for what he is, “the common man’s hero”. We see farmers in their fields at dawn, dreamy-eyed children commuting in the rain in metropolitan cities, an eclectic mix of dancers and musicians in the hills, athletes and bikers on the streets, young professionals in gleaming offices, everyone, from all walks of life, gesturing a javelin throw to show support for a humble and loving sporting legend with an indomitable spirit.

The campaign was first revealed with the hashtag #IndiaCheersNeeraj at the India Unpacked event for Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6 launch. It is currently being rolled out across digital platforms, cinemas and print media. Samsung has launched a microsite where fans and followers of Chopra can cheer for him. As the Paris Olympics events has been inaugurated, the brand is calling in for more support from the nation to inspire him.

So far the campaign has generated a significant buzz on social media, with the hashtag #IndiaCheersNeeraj having amassed over 343,000 conversations. From tech reviewers to renowned influencers, all have shared their support, amplifying its reach and impact. More celebrities and sporting legends are also joining in the movement, showing their unwavering support for India’s Olympics team.

“Samsung believes in empowering individuals to push beyond their limits and achieve greatness. We are putting our might behind Neeraj Chopra, who embodies excellence and limitless possibilities – values that are deeply respected at Samsung. With the ‘India Cheers for Neeraj’ campaign, we aim to harness the collective energy of the nation and ‘Unfold the Best’ in India’s quest for gold in the Paris Olympic games. We aim to invite all Indians to join us in cheering for Neeraj,” said Aditya Babbar, Vice President, MX Business, Samsung India.

Vikas, Chemjong, CCO at Cheil India, marvelled at the original cinematic quality of the piece. “In the wake of a recently won Cricket World Cup, we wanted to bring out the emotion of ‘an entire nation holding its breath once more’. But this time it’s for one athlete who has already done the impossible by winning gold at the last Olympics” he said. “The film’s fleeting montage style is the unifying thread that connects every Indian to this beacon of national pride.”

“In his unique style, director Akash Bhatia has emphasized on Neeraj’s state of mind, where the training grounds in Europe and foggy pathways of the Indian hinterland intertwine, blending both the imagery and music in a perfect symphony. It encapsulates what the Olympian is feeling during practise – a billion hands are behind his one golden throw. Complemented by a music track, created by Jamroom, that mixes traditional Indian instruments and digital soundscapes, the film is bound to create an emotional stir in the viewers.” he added.
