Windchimes to handle ITC Classmate’s social media biz
MUMBAI: Windchimes Communications, a social media agency, has won the social media mandate of the notebook brand ITC Classmate.
With the help of social media, the brand aims to target two sets of audiences – teenagers in the age group of 13 to 19 years, and teachers and young parents. The brand aims at spreading its brand message across all social media platforms.
ITC marketing manager- ESPB Karan Kumar said, “We are putting in place a dedicated and comprehensive digital marketing strategy for the medium – one that includes brand messages getting both, uniquely crafted and scientifically implemented in the digital marketing space. And through a mix of digital and social media platform, we seek to reach our brand messages to our primary consumers and the key influencers in their lives.”
The core campaign message is- ‘Because you are one of a kind‘. The campaign aims to encourage exploration and nurturance of individuality among the target group of consumers and encourage them to be unique. The brand urges its audience to create a niche for themselves rather than trying to emulate someone else, in other words advocating becoming ‘first you‘ rather than be ‘another somebody‘. All social media activities planned, would tie in with this thought, the company said.
Windchimes Communications head maven Nimesh Shah added, “We are proud that ITC chose us as their social media partners. The stationery segment is a very exciting space and we intend to have a lot of action for Classmate in the coming months.”

Crocs and Lego launch new collaborative collection in India
Iconic brands bring playful creativity to footwear with first drop on 13 April 2026.
MUMBAI: Crocs and Lego have clicked together once again and this time, the bricks are heading straight for Indian feet. The global footwear brand Crocs has announced the India launch of its latest Crocs x Lego Group collection, following the excitement of their multi-year global partnership unveiled earlier this year. The collaboration celebrates creativity, play, and individuality, merging Crocs’ signature comfort with Lego’s iconic building-block spirit.
The collection will roll out in two phases. A digital-exclusive pre-launch begins on 13 April 2026 on crocs.in, featuring four styles: the Lego Masterbrand Creativity Clog, Lego Midnight Garden Creativity Clog, Lego Creativity Clog, and Kids’ Lego Creativity Clog. Each pair purchased during this phase will include an exclusive Lego minifigure as a collectible bonus.
From May 2026, the full collection will be available across select Crocs stores, VegNonVeg, and Foot Locker outlets nationwide.
The designs playfully blend Crocs’ classic clog silhouette with Lego brick-inspired details, complete with custom Jibbitz charms on the upper and sole. The collection encourages wearers to treat their footwear as a canvas for personal expression, without any set instructions just an open invitation to build, explore, and have fun.
Crocs chief marketing officer Carly Gomez said, “The Lego Group’s boundless imagination makes them the perfect match to Crocs’ wonderfully unordinary spirit. We are both brands that pride ourselves on being built different, celebrating self-expression and fuelling creativity.”
LEGO Group, head of licensing & extended line design & partnerships Satwik Saraswati added, “Our common mission to enable self-expression and wear it with pride only marks the beginning of a journey with endless possibilities.”
The campaign will extend beyond the product launch through creator-led seeding, elevated visual merchandising, and exclusive on-ground previews, supported by a deeper partnership with the Lego India team.
In a market that loves both comfort and fun, Crocs and Lego have built something special, a collection that lets every step feel like playtime. Get ready to click your heels (or rather, your clogs) because this collaboration is set to be a blockbuster hit with Indian fans.
