World Gold Council has launched a new look ‘You are gold’ campaign in partnership with Gems & Jewellery Export Promotion Council to increase awareness, relevance and adoption of gold jewellery amongst young Indian women. The latest ‘You are gold’ campaign aims to inspire young women to express themselves. The ad film showcases a montage of young women from diverse backgrounds, who are unafraid of letting their inner light shine and are precious, brilliant and bold – much like the beautiful gold jewellery they wear. The integrated campaign that has been rolled out prior to Diwali 2022, aims to attract millennials and gen-Z and highlight the many qualities that make them who they are, qualities that make them shine like the gold jewellery they wear, and how they express themselves through it. The film celebrates different expressions of quintessential modern women who are relatable, yet aspirational and don’t shy away from chasing their dreams. 

Commenting on the launch of the film, Arti Saxena, Head of Marketing, India, World Gold Council said, "More than half of India’s population is below the age of 25 years and they are redefining India’s consumption story. Our ‘You are gold’ campaign aims to reinforce the relevance of gold jewellery in a more meaningful way to them. Our latest film celebrates today’s young women from diverse backgrounds who are chasing their passions fearlessly. With a modern and contemporary showcase of gold jewellery in the film, we aim to change the perception of gold jewellery from traditional to something that is modern, stylish, contemporary and a means of self-expression, in lines with the mindset of today’s young consumers.” Vipul Shah, Chairman, GJEPC said, “The World Gold Council campaign 'You Are Gold' in partnership with GJEPC is aimed at the younger generation for building a greater emotional connect with gold.
