Overview

mtv 1 Roadies started in 2003, first hosted by Cyrus Shukar. However, Season 2 to Season 8 has been hosted by Rannvijay. It is based on MTV reality show Road Rules which started in the year 1995. It is India’s most popular reality show with 11 successful seasons.MTV Roadis online media campaign is a 9 month trans-media campaign which resulted in establishing MTV Roadies as the most talked about brand in India. It is a campaign which made MTV Roadies the envy of the brand manager of every youth brand in the country.

Not only did Roadies establish itself as a giant in the social media space in India but it also got India noticed in the International space. It ranks 6th in the most engaging Facebook fan page in the world.

It busted the myths that people usually don’t consume TV content online and that Roadies was too niche for an evolved audience platform such as Twitter.

It was a campaign completely meant for the users at every step and helped modify on-air content based on how the audience in the digital space was responding to previous content. The campaign integrated TV, Outdoor, Mobile and Digital Media and was a perfect example of how a campaign should use its website, WAP site and social presence.
