FIRSTPOST nails it with Mother’s day video, created with HDFC Bank

On Mother’s day, HDFC Bank and Firstpost collaborated to release a video that has since then clocked millions of views on our social media channels and has recorded high engagement numbers. The video captured the nuance of how millennials celebrate the occasion with their mothers on a single day, and tend to forget them through the rest of the year. The relatable content combined with the heartfelt message broke through the clutter, while promoting HDFC Bank’s PayZapp and banking app.

The video was conceptualized tailored to fit the requirements for HDFC Bank. Keeping it simple, the video had in its essence a heartfelt message that was bound to tug at the heartstrings of the viewers. The content highlighted that with offerings such as HDFC Bank’s digital wallet and banking app with intuitive features, it’s never too late for parents to adopt new technology. The youth can do a role reversal and educate their parents about the changing digital eco-system. The information will empower the elders and seniors in the family and allow them to enjoy their dreams independently right at their fingertips. 

The video has been widely accepted/appreciated garnering over 3 million views across social media platforms. In addition to that, the video recorded a reach of over 10 million, with more than 3 lakh engagement across platforms.
