Objective and Business Challenge

While Mokobara had rapidly earned consumer love through its direct-to-consumer model, entering the airline ecosystem presented an entirely new playing field. The objective was twofold:

1. Build cultural authority by associating with a trusted national brand like IndiGo.
2. Design a functional, stylish product that would resonate with frequent flyers and elevate everyday travel.

The challenge was to not just secure distribution but to anchor Mokobara as an airline-aligned lifestyle brand, while still owning its design-forward identity.

Campaign Milestones

• Product Co-Design & Internal Teasers (Week 1): Collaborative product development between Mokobara and IndiGo teams began with co-created prototypes optimized for cabin compatibility, durability, and aesthetics.
• Official Launch (Week 2): Announced across Mokobara and IndiGo’s official channels. Launch posts featured the sleek co-branded luggage gliding across airport terminals—projecting modernity in motion.
• Media Amplification (Week 3+): The collaboration earned attention in top-tier publications across travel, lifestyle, and business beats. Featured prominently in Storyboard18, AdGully, and Impact on Net, the partnership was recognized as a case of smart brand alignment.

Strategy and Execution

1. Brand Collaboration

The heart of the campaign was the exclusive co-branded luggage line. Designed specifically for frequent flyers, the bag reflected both Mokobara’s design DNA and IndiGo’s efficiency-first travel model. This wasn’t just luggage—it was a boarding pass to style.

2. Thought Leadership & Executive Messaging

Key executives from both Mokobara and IndiGo took center stage in earned media interviews. The messaging was clear: this wasn’t a promotional one-off—it was a strategic alignment of values, focused on trust, function, and elevated travel.

Mokobara and IndiGo activated a focused PR blitz that spanned:

• Business & Marketing Press: Positioned the collab as a benchmark in brand synergy.
