NaMo Yuva Run

A nationwide youth mobilisation campaign by BJYM around fitness, healthy living and Nasha Mukt Bharat, held during Seva Pakhwada and timed to 21 September 2025, where a public run was shaped into a high-energy national youth movement.

Problem

A public run at risk of being one more fitness event on a Sunday.

Built

A belief campaign: teaser series, Bollywood culture-plays, mascot films, a 75-city system.

Shift

From a marathon to a national youth movement against addiction.

The strategic thought

It was not treated as just a marathon. It was shaped as a public participation moment where fitness, national service, youth energy and anti-drug awareness came together under one clear message.

Context

A youth campaign on fitness, Nasha Mukt Bharat and Seva Pakhwada, tied to 21 September 2025.

Approach

A sharp, youth-facing visual language built to feel energetic, participative and movement-driven.

Our role

Campaign communication, digital and social creatives, youth messaging, event branding support, and reel and video-led amplification.

Scale

A public run reframed as a national youth movement, across 75 locations in Bharat.

The creative series, in application

A teaser-led social set built around one repeated idea: one path breaks you, the other makes you.

The culture play, Bollywood speaks youth

To reach a generation, borrow the language it already loves: Gully Boy, Pushpa, Mirzapur, each reframed into the run's one message.

The launch set, one million strong

From the starting-line manifesto to the mascot: the assets that carried the run into the open.

The identity, one energy system

Behind the campaign sits a full event brand: a geometric runner in campaign saffron, a gear-built lion mascot, and a system that carries both from the start line to the certificate.

The films, motion carries the message

Two reveal films cut for the campaign's digital push: the teaser that builds the mood, and the mascot charge that starts the run. Press play.

The run, in the feed

Reels cut for the vertical screen: the call before the run, and race day as the country saw it. Press play.

"A nationwide youth mobilisation campaign that turned fitness, public participation and Nasha Mukt Bharat messaging into a high-energy political communication movement."
