Through the first two phases of our campaign, we launched and familiarised our audiences with TECNO's latest CAMON 19 series. And with this last phase, the intent is to get our real audiences to interact with the brand and experience a futuristic event that strikes a fine balance between technology, fashion and lifestyle."
Adding insights about the contest, Nandini Bhalla, Editor, Cosmopolitan India, said, "This is the final phase of our three-month-long campaign with TECNO, and we are truly excited to conclude it with a bang. A Stylish Affair has been a one-of-a-kind association that drew attention to how tech plays a significant role in the fashion space, given that social media is a key space for new launches, emerging trends, content creation, and more. And The Ultimate Style Hunt makes for the perfect platform for content creators and aspiring fashion enthusiasts to showcase their personal style."
