Execution:

The LG World Record category is a brand new sub-forum to discuss all the various LG World Record products which includes DD refrigerators and TVs with the Cinema Screen Design. These products have various World Records; for example, the LM8600 has the LG World Record for the TV with the narrowest bezel.

An official forum named LG World Record has used to create a community around LG and its world record range of products using threads for online discussions

The LG World Record (WR) Man plays the role of the brand ambassador to engage audiences on social network sites such as Facebook and Twitter.

During the course of the campaign, one of the users, Karan, was apparently going through the LG India Facebook page and LG World Record Forum. He shared that he was planning to start a new family with his future wife.

The LG WR team got together to discuss the best way to beat the drum to this special milestone. Karan and the LG WR team came up with the idea of using a flash mob to give an unforgettable marriage proposal.

The LG WR team guided Karan with a step -by- step plan to execute a flash mob! A whole crew of dancers choreographed the flash mob! Here is the making video of the LG World Records Marriage Proposal Flash Mob!
