launched the second wave of its Passion Made Possible brand campaign in India
with an evening of fun and entertainment for the travel trade, media and
influencers - focusing on the Socialiser tribe offerings available in Singapore.
Held at Verbena Brewpub & Skygarden in Kamala Mills, the event featured

The STB launched
the new brand identity ‘Passion Made Possible’ in August 2017 to showcase the destination’s unique attitude
and mindset; a passion-driven, never-settling spirit of determination and
enterprise that constantly pursues possibilities and reinvention. As part of this,
the STB introduced the concept of Passion Tribes and unveiled four specific
tribes, namely Foodies, Collectors, Explorers and Progressors.
For its second wave, the campaign will shine spotlight on the Socialiser,
Action Seeker, and Culture Shaper Passion Tribes to encourage Indian travelers
to indulge their passions in Singapore.
Speaking at the launch, Mr GB Srithar, Regional Director, South Asia, Middle East & Africa,
highlighted
the importance of why the Socialiser tribe would be appealing to Indian consumers,
“We are keen to engage the young and fun-loving Indian travellers. Show them a
different side of Singapore, in addition to being a great family
destination. From the coolest indie gigs
and the biggest international concerts, to eclectic music festivals, raves and
jazz nights, Singapore has a diverse and vibrant music and event scene. This will
appeal to the lifestyle and entertainment seeking travellers. As we launch Wave
2 of our brand, we invite our Indian visitors to come make new friends or
re-connect with old ones through the myriad of nightlife and entertainment
offerings in Singapore.”
During their
visit to India, Wayne Liu - DJ KoFlow & Yung Raja (Singer-Rapper) jointly
commented, “Singapore’s nightlife is
multi-faceted, there are all kinds of party spots for many different likings
including a diverse thriving music scene. It’s an experience you will not want
to miss out on!”
As a pre-buzz to the Wave 2 launch the STB collaborated
with Vh1 India for its first-ever music video in India titled ‘Unstoppable’.
The music video which has garnered almost 2.6 million views on YouTube.
Featuring the GRAMMY Award-nominated Indian-American rapper, singer and songwriter Raja
Kumari, the Chemical Brothers of India ‘Midival Punditz’ and popular
Singaporean B-Boying crew ‘Radikal Forze’, the music video highlights their
unique talents and common passion for creativity, music, sounds, dance and
entertaining audiences. The
