The quirky social media and OOH creatives feature a single QR code and an invite; viewers will be required to scan the code in order to get billions, hinting at the prospect of fast money. Upon scanning, the audience is taken to the landing page of the show 'Billions' on Hotstar Premium. The campaign aims at encouraging the audience to sample TV shows, such as 'Billions', on their unspoiled and original form.

Billions is a high-octane drama that examines the profits and perils of chasing the American dream. Starring Paul Giamatti, Damian Lewis, Maggie Siff and Malin Akerman, it depicts the sexy, ego-driven world of high finance and narrates the bold tale of two of New York's most powerful titans locked in an epic battle.
