Launch of ‘Yas Hai Khaas’ with Ranveer Singh
Abu Dhabi, one of the world’s leading leisure and entertainment destinations, partnered with Bollywood superstar, Ranveer Singh, and went viral following the launch of ‘Yas Hai Khaas’ campaign video. The Bollywood-styled music video which sees Ranveer singing and dancing his way across the Island, received exceptional engagement across social media, with over 70 million views across Yas Island’s social channels as well as achieving 80% of 2019 full years website traffic in the first 10 days of the video launch.
The campaign offers a glimpse of what holidaymakers from India can expect during a vacation at Yas Island through the eyes of one of Bollywood’s most prominent figures – from record-breaking theme parks, racing, climbing and flying to world-class shopping, dining, golfing and luxury hotels, all packed into one 25 sq km destination.
The epic video highlights Ranveer’s action-packed holiday on Yas Island as he visits the destination’s most iconic landmarks, including interacting with Batman at Warner Bros. World™️ Abu Dhabi, chasing waves at Yas Waterworld, and riding the fastest rollercoaster in the world at Ferrari World Abu Dhabi. Continuing the adventure, the film shows Ranveer flying through the air at adventure hub CLYMB™️ Abu Dhabi, before singing and dancing his way across the island to experience high-speed racing on the Formula 1 track at Yas Marina Circuit. Ranveer is also seen enjoying a shopping splurge at Yas Mall, dining at trendy restaurant Iris, before squeezing in a round of golf at Yas Links.
In light of the campaign’s success, Liam Findlay, CEO of Experience Hub the trade and promotion arm of Yas Island Abu Dhabi and a subsidiary of Miral, said, ‘We are delighted to see the positive response that our campaign has received as we build on the success garnered last year with our ‘Stayin’ On Yas’ Bee Gees-themed campaign. Our partnership with Ranveer Singh as our brand ambassador has gotten off to a strong start and we hope that travellers from India look forward to enjoying a holiday like Ranveer Singh at Yas Island.”
Commenting on the success, Ranveer Singh said, “I am glad that the video was enjoyed by millions of viewers! I hope vacationers get to enjoy one of the most exhilarating trips to Yas Island as I have.”
