An Indian IP For Kids: Brands Collaborating With Windmill Look To Create Meaningful, Interactive Conversations

MUMBAI: The 4th edition of Nickelodeon Windmill Festival, an initiative by Event Capital and Tribe Asia, will take place on 22nd – 23rd February 2020 at JioWorld Garden, BKC. Having grown into India’s largest children’s outdoor festival, Windmill has brought on board sponsors like Hershey’s, Kotak Mutual Funds, Soulfull, V-Nourish, Toppscholars, WOK, Sarda Farms, Laughing Cow, Enrich and Club Mahindra who are looking to create deeper brand connects with consumers.

The need of the hour today is to better understand children as consumers, and communicate with this segment in an impactful, integrated manner. Windmill as a platform is built as a fun, safe and interactive environment which attracts hundreds of parents and children year on year.

Commenting on the upcoming event, Janak Vora, CEO, Event Capital said, “We are pleased to announce our sponsors for the 4th edition of Nickelodeon Windmill Festival. With the support of brands collaborating with us, we look forward to provide a better platform for them to engage with families in the best way possible.

The collaborations have all come on board with a purpose in mind and are perfect brand fits to avoid mindless clutter.

Brands who have chosen to collaborate with Windmill have similar sentiments in mind.

Commenting on this, Rasika Prashant, CMO, Soulfull said,”Windmill Festival has been a tent pole partnership for Soulfull.
