Airtel announced the launch of ‘Airtel SongCatcher’ – India’s first instant music on mobile. This innovative service completely transformed the way mobile users could download songs of their choice. Airtel wanted to showcase the Songcatcher in a realistic sense. Portland India found this opportunity by transforming the display space to a loudspeaker pole with a young guy perched to catch the music. The Agency innovatively painted the back of the cut out on either side with the colour black. This gave it a shadow effect in the day and it merged with the background at night. As a massive ‘3d-like’ Cut out on a Loudspeaker Pole, this Catcher not only caught his song but also the attention of those who traveled past.

The Agency (Portland) managed to rotate the piece 360 degrees round the clock.
