Aliya helped Starbucks unlock its growth potential in India by becoming more relevant to consumers and demand spaces with the campaign #ItStartsWithYourName. The campaign involved executing a 360-degree campaign that started with a brand film that reflected this philosophy, followed by shorter films focusing on the new cup size "Picco," the shareable food menu, beverages, prices, and other offerings that Starbucks launched in four key cities. The campaign was a success, resulting in a 20% increase in food sales, a 10% increase in daily transactions, an increase in new customers, and no decrease in cup size by existing customers. The campaign also generated 100+ stories within the first 48 hours and an estimated earned media reach of 4.6 billion.
Another campaign Bira 91's "Imagined in India” experimented with indigenous ingredients to introduce a new limited-release flavor every Thursday at its taprooms. As a part of the campaign, one-on-one tasting sessions and interviews with Ankur Jain, CEO and founder of Bira 91, and leading publications, hosting a key media and influencer launch event, and a national press release were rolled out across beats.

In this campaign, the blue pill represents neglecting reputation management and the red pill represents embracing it. The campaign will aim at educating the public on the importance of proactively managing their reputation through Public Relations and encourage them to choose the path of the "red pill."
