CoinSwitch launches 3D anamorphic billboard campaign in Bengaluru
CoinSwitch, a crypto trading platform, unveiled a brand initiative featuring a rare 3D anamorphic billboard at Nexus Mall, Koramangala, Bengaluru. Inspired by Japan’s 3D billboard formats, the execution transforms an existing urban screen into an immersive visual display. The film draws on internet-driven crypto culture, featuring meme-inspired characters such as Dogecoin and TopCat, animated to appear as though they extend beyond the screen. Timed around New Year’s Eve, the campaign runs until January 2. While 3D anamorphic billboards are established globally, they remain uncommon in India. The activation focuses on attention and curiosity rather than promoting specific cryptocurrencies, aligning with CoinSwitch’s emphasis on awareness and responsible engagement in the digital asset ecosystem.
Swiggy Scenes activates year-end audiences with on-ground experience
As New Year’s Eve approaches, Swiggy Scenes launched an immersive on-ground campaign titled 'Un-Coop Yourself'. The activation features a life-sized wooden coop installed in a public space, recreating a typical at-home New Year’s Eve setting with a couch, television and idle occupant. An interactive buzzer outside the installation triggers a transformation, turning the enclosed space into a party environment with music, lights and a disco ball. The visual contrast reinforces the message that New Year’s celebrations extend beyond the living room. Commenting on the initiative, Supriya Shankar, VP, Swiggy Scenes, said, “As we bid adieu to 2025 and prepare to step into the new year, we wanted to remind people that the best parties aren’t happening on their couches.” The activation also directs audiences to Swiggy Scenes to discover hyperlocal events across cities.
