True Master - K20 Pro Marketing Campaign

In line with its availability across all channels, Xiaomi India also launched a new brand marketing campaign, True Master, promoting the Redmi K20 Pro. Set in a Tai chi class scene, the story showcases the incredibly speedy performance of the Redmi K20 Pro powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 855, using a popular martial art concept with a dash of comical element.

The video presents a cheeky, humorous face-off between the student who is a Redmi K20 Pro user and a seemingly larger opponent. the Redmi K20 Pro user, who appears to be a young protagonist with lots of zeal, banks on the incredible speed of the flagship killer device and surprisingly overpowers his opponent, emerging as the true master. The video further concludes that in a world where many smartphones claim to be the fastest, there is only one true master, highlighting the competitive edge that Redmi K20 Pro has over other smartphones. 

Addressing the new brand campaign, Anuj Sharma, Chief Marketing Officer, Xiaomi India, shared that, “We wanted to explore a unique approach beyond just the traditional smartphone ads that regularly feature camera or design at a surface level, and instead offers a powerful story element that resonates with our flagship product. Choosing a story with Tai chi theme was a conscious effort from our side to portray the exceptionally speedy performance of our flagship killer, Redmi K20 Pro, which displays a creative contradiction to the rather slower moves of the martial art form treading on a comical note. The story reflects our firm belief in the innovative technology and incredible specs of the device.”

The campaign is a collaborative effort between the Brand Marketing team of Xiaomi and MWG-TAG-Bangalore, and will be aired across television as well as social media platforms.
