Glance unveils an innovative #JustGlance campaign

Glance, one of the world’s leading smart lock screen platforms, has stirred up huge curiosity across the country with its innovative #JustGlance campaign, that was designed to tackle the T20 FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) experienced by millions of Indians every day!

The campaign kick-started on May 9th creating viral social media buzz as large balloons floated above iconic landmarks in cities like Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Chennai. Users eagerly shared the images of these balloons on social media platforms, accompanied by the hashtag #T20FOMO. These mysterious balloons carried questions such as "Score kya hai?" (What's the score?), "Match mein kya hua?" (What happened in the match?), "Maahi kab aayega?" (When will Mahendra Singh Dhoni bat?), and "Aur kitna chahiye?" (How much more do we need?). These questions were designed to spark the curiosity of cricket enthusiasts, on real-time information and insights into the ongoing T20 cricket matches.

The captivating images and engaging questions ignited a social media frenzy. Cricket enthusiasts felt a sense of FOMO, believing they are missing out on the T20 madness by not witnessing these balloons in their cities. 

Damn!! Who else saw this today? Let me know if you saw it too. Any clue what this question “Ab Kitna Chahiye” on the balloon is about?#T20FOMO pic.twitter.com/nVlgCunTJM
