Launched in March 2005, SONY SAB is part of the network of television channels owned by Sony Pictures Networks India Pvt Ltd. Sony SAB evolved from its ‘Haste Raho’ tagline in 2017 to the present re-energised philosophy of ‘Khushiyon Wali Feeling’ in 2019. The campaign is driven by the insight that ‘jitni insaan ki khushi badhti hai, utni hee duniya mein insaniyat bhi badhti hai’. The tagline ‘Khushiyon Wali Feeling’ reinvigorates the brand belief that ‘being happy is good but spreading happiness amongst others is even better as it makes the world a happier place’. Through this campaign, Sony SAB offers a larger purpose as a brand while moving towards a significant brand evolution, the aim of ‘Khushiyon Waali Feeling’ is to get customers to look at Sony SAB as ‘a brand with a heart’.
