Colors Kannada has recently launched its new fiction show ‘Kendasampige’, a story based on two siblings who are in the flower selling business.

As a part of the marketing campaign, the channel has launched a print campaign with the Kannada newspaper – Vijaya Karnataka.

The front page of the daily was scented with the fragrance of the Champa flower, symbolizing the fiction title ‘Kendasampige’. Around five lakh copies of perfumed newspapers were circulated across Karnataka.

Shivaraj Kumar, the Kannada film industry actor, visited the newspaper’s offices and posed for a picture with this innovative print copy.

Shriram BR, Director – Marketing, Colors Kannada, said, “A unique approach like this can always help the brand to meet the objective of the launch. Champa (Sampige) flower fragrance has given readers a fresh feel to start their Monday while establishing a strong connection to the show’s theme.”
