'I can do Kuch Bhi' promotes the Dell Inspiron product line and shows youth driven by unconventional dreams. The campaign also showcases how the Dell Inspiron is to empower the dreams through different features such as touch screen, HD and webcam.
Furthermore, the first phase of the campaign began with social media where the brand launched two films to drive conversations on Facebook and Twitter. It used the stories of two young individuals - one a lady with a passion for yoga and the other a young man determined to restore his father's bike. The videos were put up on the Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/dellindia) and a microsite (http://www.achievewithdell.in/index) was also launched to enable people to share how technology helped them achieve their dreams. More than 40 stories of passionate people have been uploaded on the microsite till now.
