Anupam Mathur, Head – Sales and Marketing, Timex Group India Limited said, “We are very excited to be associated with YRF. We saw a beautiful fit with this association given the connect that exists between TIMEX’s focus on fitness and Sultan’s essence. The movie is a perfect fitment for us as it encourages people to have a healthy lifestyle through the main character, Sultan, portrayed by Salman Khan. With the IRONMAN® series we aim to offer our consumers a confluence of future technology and style.
Manan Mehta, Vice President Marketing & Merchandising, Yash Raj Films said “Since YRF is very particular about merchandising and licensing brand associations, we employ our proprietary evaluation tool – ‘The Co–Aud’ (pronounced ‘The Cord’) for any partnership. We believe the brand’s message which is communicated via our films should be congruent with the marketing message of our content. Its only when we approach the brand’s consumers and the movie’s audience as the same, thus Co–Audience, can we deliver a seamless experience. With Timex, YRF has found a partner who understands this.”
