“After the heartening response to the launch of our gifting ambassador Mr BC, we wanted to ensure the second leg of the campaign is also equally clutter breaking and engaging. We chose to pick on a divorce party theme as a celebratory occasion to gift instead of showing a conventional theme, in tune with the current times.  4700BC ensures to communicate with consumers through relatable and relevant content, creating novel and groundbreaking communiques such as our recent renaming announcement for clutter-breaking storytelling in the space of gifting. The digital film undertakes the narrative in-depth, catering to a generation that wants to pick up a novel, unique & unconventional gift.” - Chirag Gupta, Founder & CEO.

“Since we launched the first Mr. BC film, everyone around us started asking, What's Next? What can be crazier than crashing a "GANGSTER PARTY"? The increase in divorce parties shows a significant shift towards people celebrating an end of an emotionally draining period and a new beginning. It is a fascinating concept just starting up in India, so we were like yeah, this is cool. This is what we want to discuss!” - Abhishek Kumar, Brand Head
