How Comic Con India played out on Twitter

Twitter is the best place to see what's happening in India and the world. For pop culture enthusiasts, Comic Con India (@ComicConIndia), OnePlus India (@OnePlus_IN) and Twitter joined forces to bring unparallelled access to the best of comics, gaming, cosplay and more from #ComicCon India shows in Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Mumbai and Delhi to the platform. 

A first for the genre in India, OnePlus India (@OnePlus_IN) came onboard Twitter as an in-stream video sponsor of exclusive content from Comic Con India (@ComicConIndia) shows to the platform. The sponsorship enabled Comic Con India and OnePlus India to reach out to their extended audience in India and comic fans around the world with exclusive content from the events. Twitter’s in-stream video sponsorship enables publishers to monetize video content while making it easy for advertisers to reach engaged audiences and sponsor exclusive content. 

To enhance the fan experience with a video-first attitude, Comic Con India (@ComicConIndia) showered fans with sneak peeks and behind the scenes footage on Twitter, as well as an exploration of the special comic experiential zones from the comfort of their homes.  Highlights included:

• Interactions with Comedians: Comic Con India featured interactions with popular Indian comedians like Sahil Shah (@SahilBulla), Mallika Dua (@MallikaDua), Rohan Joshi (@mojorojo), Prajakta Kohli (@iamMostlySane) and more on Twitter, to let fans find out more about their sources of comic relief, and also tickle their funny bones.
