The key challenge for the brand is to create a category which is at a nascent stage in the country, while establishing the brand. A multi-channel campaign was launched to promote the signature project, The Virtuoso Club and Serviced Residences, Bangalore.

The radio ad was aired on three stations, each in a different language, English, Hindi and Kannada, catering to a varied demography of listeners. Digital channels such as affiliates, Google search and Facebook lead generation were activated considering relevance of these channels for the target group.
