The same holds true for poker players who win both gold & glory as National Poker Series champions with their skills and grit.
The new campaign features a series of two films that highlight the pride and glory that comes with winning the National Poker Series. The campaign aims to inspire and motivate players, both men and women to strive for greatness in the game and to establish poker as a sport that demands the highest levels of skill and strategy. The creative storytelling, music and elements of surprise give registering for the tournament a ‘pull factor.’ With this campaign, the aim is to make the National Poker Series a success and inspire players to join and be a part of this ultimate game of glory. By using a simple cinematic device, the ads were able to create visually engaging films, portraying the transformation in their life.

The two editions’ record-breaking entries across demographics and regions were a testament to establishing the NPS legacy. We see NPS India as the true podium of glory for the sport of Poker in India and are excited to celebrate the champions in the making."

Whereas globally it is considered to be a sport which involves an immense amount of skill to play and the ones with the right skills can achieve ultimate glory. National Poker Series as a platform is providing this opportunity to poker players in India.
"We wanted to talk to poker enthusiasts and new poker players alike and give them a clear sense that poker, more than just entertainment, can also be life-changing if you play it right. And National Poker Series hosted on PokerBaazi is your opportunity to experience that. A simple yet interesting creative device of life-changing in an instant for a youngster, landing him/her in the spotlight helped us capture this thought in a short duration", said DDB Mudra South creative head Nitin Pradhan.
The 360° Campaign is launched across multiple platforms, including Television, OTT, digital platforms, outdoors and social media. The campaign is expected to reach a diverse set of audience of poker players and enthusiasts and establish the National Poker Series as the go-to tournament for players who seek both gold and glory.
