New Delhi: India is bracing itself for a wedding boom this winter, with an estimated 48 lakh ceremonies expected to take place according to the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT). Amidst the celebrations, boAt, a popular consumer electronics brand known for its audio products, has launched a quirky new campaign to promote its noise-cancelling headphones. The campaign, titled “Mute the Taunts with Aunty Noise Cancellation (ANC),” humorously addresses the common experience of well-meaning but sometimes intrusive relatives offering unsolicited advice and playful taunts during weddings.
The campaign’s centerpiece is a video that introduces the fictional “boAt Airdopes ANC (Aunty Noise Cancellation).” These imagined headphones are equipped with amusing features tailored for wedding scenarios, such as “REPL.AI technology” for generating witty comebacks to those prying questions, “Anti-BT Calling” to block unwanted Bluetooth calls from distant relatives, and “Senti Song Blocker” to replace emotional wedding songs with the user’s personal favorites.

“Weddings in India are joyous, colorful occasions, often accompanied by unsolicited advice and playful taunts,” a boAt spokesperson commented. “With this campaign, we wanted to bring a lighthearted twist to these moments, showcasing our fun and innovative approach to connecting with our audience.”
By tapping into a relatable cultural experience, boAt’s campaign cleverly highlights the benefits of its ANC headphones in a lighthearted and engaging way. As wedding bells ring across the country, the brand’s message of finding peace and quiet amidst the chaos is likely to resonate with consumers seeking a break from the social pressures and noise that often accompany these grand celebrations.
