Tilaknagar Industries Ltd showcased its Mansion House and Monarch Legacy Edition brandy brands in Times Square, New York, as part of India's Independence Day celebrations. The 72-hour campaign, running from August 14 to 16, aimed to highlight the company's global expansion and heritage.

The initiative featured 10-second brand films playing across screens every 100 seconds, resulting in an estimated 2,592 plays. With Times Square attracting more than 400,000 visitors daily, the campaign reached a cumulative audience of over 1.2 million people during the three-day period.

Strategic Brand Positioning

The campaign highlighted two distinct pillars of Tilaknagar Industries' portfolio. Mansion House Brandy, identified as India's largest-selling premium brandy and the world's second-largest-selling premium brandy, represents the company's established mass-premium presence. Monarch Legacy Edition, launched in 2024, marks the company's entry into the luxury segment through its House of TI vertical.

Both brands are currently available in nine US states: New York, New Jersey, Texas, Tennessee, California, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, and Illinois. The Times Square activation aligns with the company's growing distribution footprint in the United States.
