Tempest Advertising bags three Big Bang Awards, lights up Mumbai debut

MUMBAI: Tempest Advertising has marked the start of its Mumbai innings with a podium finish, picking up three honours at the Big Bang Awards 2025 organised by the Ad Club.

The agency won a silver Big Bang Award for creative excellence in the consumer services category for the launch campaign of Dave & Buster’s in Mumbai. It also secured a silver and a bronze for two Syngenta campaigns, underlining its ability to move seamlessly from lifestyle brands to the heart of Indian agriculture.

For the Dave & Buster’s launch, the team leaned into the brand’s American roots while tuning the message to Mumbai’s high-energy pulse. Built around the line “Eat, Drink, Play & Watch,” the campaign used neon-lit visuals and dynamic storytelling across key outdoor sites in Andheri West, quickly catching the attention of both locals and the advertising fraternity.

In the agriculture category, Tempest’s work for Syngenta NK’s 25-year milestone campaign, “25 साल से सफल, NK फसल,” earned a silver. The brand film celebrated the company’s long-standing relationship with Indian farmers and was well received across its India teams.

The agency also took home a bronze for “Har Kisaan Ka Samadhan,” a product film for Syngenta’s tomato hybrid range. The campaign positioned the brand as a dependable, science-led solutions partner for farmers across the country.

Together, the wins highlight Tempest’s broad creative range, spanning entertainment, consumer services and agricultural brands. Over the years, the agency has collected accolades across platforms such as Pepper, IAA, IMA, AAAI, e4m, Big Bang and Maddys.

With established offices in Hyderabad, Pune and Bengaluru, Tempest continues to expand its footprint while managing a diverse mix of clients across sectors.

Tempest Advertising managing director Turab Lakdawala, said the wins reflect both creative momentum and the agency’s ambitions in the country’s most competitive market. He added that the focus ahead would remain on crafting tailored communication that delivers relevance, impact and long-term value for clients.

As Tempest steps into Mumbai with fresh momentum and a shelf of new silverware, the agency signals that its growth story is not just about geography, but about sharper insights and bigger ideas. If the Big Bang Awards are any indication, this is only the opening act.
