Enchanteur reveals strategy behind bold Valentine's move that won the internet
For Valentine's Day in 2025, romance took centre stage in Dubai as fragrance brand Enchanteur, in partnership with brand partnerships and media solutions agency Hikaya, rolled out a public activation that turned a proposal into a nationwide moment of magic. The activation featured a grand proposal orchestrated at SkyDive Dubai, curated with all the sensory beauty Enchanteur is known for — flowers, music and a touch of theatrical flair. The visual spectacle was captured and shared through a masterfully edited short-format video, spreading organically through platforms like TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Meta, and top-tier influencer handles. The campaign generated more than 9 million views — 1.5 million organic and more than 7.5 million through paid media — amplified further by coverage in more than 20 media platforms such as Gulf News, Lovin Dubai, Khaleej Times, Arabian Business Week and Filmfare Middle East. The virality drove organic pick-up across influencer and audience networks. City-based influencers voluntarily joined the wave, resharing the content and offering their commentary, underscoring the authenticity and relatability of the moment. Hikaya, the agency behind the campaign, took charge from concept to execution, handling every aspect end-to-end from the strategy and creative concept to the production and digital media rollout. All touchpoints including ideation, filming, editing and media buying were handled by them. In conversation with Campaign Middle East, Huzefa Siamwala, Founder, Hikaya, said, 'We knew emotional storytelling would be key. So rather than a typical ad, we designed a live public moment — a grand proposal — that embodied love in its purest form. Our strategy was rooted in three pillars: virality, emotional engagement, and the chery on the top was the couple who performed the stunt was a real couple originally from the UK & Mexico at SkyDive Dubai with an experience of more than 20,000 jumps under their belt.' The initiative went beyond tugging at heartstrings to light up social media feeds, trending across major news outlets and online channels and solidifying Enchanteur's status as a brand synonymous with love. Siamwala added, 'We believe in storytelling that not only sells but also stirs. This activation was a beautiful confluence of brand vision and cultural relevance. Enchanteur gave us the freedom to create an emotional spectacle, and we're incredibly proud of how it resonated with audiences across the region.' The campaign went live on Valentine's Day and continued through to the end of February, with extended coverage and audience interaction organically sustaining the campaign even post the core activation period. Influencer management and PR were managed by the brand. Nazneen Shabir, Marketing Controller, Wipro Yardley, said, 'At Enchanteur, we wanted to go beyond conventional product campaigns. Valentine's Day is about emotion — and we know the strongest stories are the ones rooted in real people. This campaign allowed us to connect with our audience at a deeply emotional level while reaffirming Enchanteur's place as the fragrance of love.' The success metrics were benchmarked on performance: reach and impressions across digital platforms, earned media value through PR pickups, and qualitative sentiment from audience comments and influencer engagement. Most importantly, it sparked conversations, reshared moments and emotional responses. Priyadarshee Panigrahi, Senior General Manager of Wipro Yardley, concluded, 'For Enchanteur, we believe romance should be nothing short of magical — just like this breathtaking proposal high above Dubai.'

Shanaya Kapoor, Adarsh Gourav partner up for 'Tu Yaa Main'
Actors Shanaya Kapoor and Adarsh Gourav will be seen together in the thriller Tu Yaa Main. Produced by Colour Yellow, the banner behind films Tumbbad and Haseen Dillruba, this film marks the first collaboration between Aanand L Rai and Bejoy Nambiar. On Tuesday, the makers shared the film's teaser which unfolds in the backwaters, offering glimpses of an experience that oscillates between romance and pulse-pounding thrills. Produced by Himanshu Sharma and written by Abhishek Bandekar, the film's core dynamic thrives on the lead pair's "strikingly different socio-economic backgrounds — a deliberate clash that speaks to the characters' conflicting worldviews." Nambiar said, "With Tu Yaa Main, we're pushing the boundaries of romance and survival in a way that's both emotionally charged and intensely terrifying. Adarsh and Shanaya's chemistry and their contrasting energies are what will make Tu Yaa Main a wild ride. It's a unique canvas that allows us to explore complex characters against the backdrop of an unforgiving wilderness." Aanand L Rai added: "At Colour Yellow, we are constantly pushing the envelope when it comes to storytelling. Tu Yaa Main is a film that thrives on unpredictability — pairing two incredibly exciting artists in a story that refuses to play by the rules. We wanted actors who could not only embody their characters' emotional complexity but also bring a natural intensity to their performances. Adarsh and Shanaya are perfect for these roles because of what they represent both on-screen and off," he said. The film is set for a Valentine's Day 2026 release.
