  • DDB Mudra group creates an innovative campaign for Symphony

    Symphony’s Garmi at large

    By A Correspondent

     

    The new campaign for Symphony air coolers has a fresh and brave storyline. Though it borrows from Bollywood quite literally, it makes it fun and very relatable to every Indian.

     

    Cooling large houses is a difficult and expensive proposition. The new model from Symphony, Storm, is a revolutionary cooler in terms of its size and shape – one-of-its-kind in the world.

     

    The story is part real, part gimmick, part Bollywood masala and part social message. It simply says that heat can make people crazy. It makes them go out and do things that are bizarre. Powerful people live in large houses and if they are irritated by heat, they could really go berserk.

     

    Commenting on the campaign, Ravinder Siwach, Group Creative Director, DDB Mudra Ahmedabad, said: “Communication in this category is pretty much feature-led so we decided to do something that will make people ‘say what was that’!? Think this is the first time anybody has used feature film footage in a commercial.”

     

    [youtube width=”400″ height=”200″]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_JHd0FA6DE[/youtube]

    Mr. Rajesh Mishra, GM, Marketing, said: “Symphony is a very strong brand. It is the world leader in Air Coolers. Storm is truly revolutionary product – a tower cooler that can cool large spaces, looks absolutely premium and comes loaded with an array of features.  We wanted a very unique launch communication for it in our unique Symphony language. We experimented a bit with the execution and at times even had second thoughts about taking the risk. But today I am happy to share that we have been able take it at a level above. The rest is for the audience to judge.”

     

     

     

  • Ms Pahwa will be based in India, reflecting shifting global priorities and ppportunities

    Maxus names Madhvi Pahwa as first global talent director

    By A Correspondent

     

    Madhvi Pahwa, veteran media agency executive with extensive experience in talent development and marketing, has been named Global Talent Director for Maxus.

     

    The announcement was made by Maxus Global CEO Mr Kelly Clark, who said Ms Pahwa will be based in New Delhi where she currently works as Managing Partner for Learning and Culture at GroupM India.

     

    “This is a hugely important step for Maxus,” Mr Clark said. “Following our explosive growth over the past few years, we need to improve how we recruit, inspire and motivate our people. Madhvi can help us do this.”

     

    Mr Clark noted that locating the talent director’s role in India rather than New York or London signalled a break from tradition for media agencies, one that provides the agency with an important distinction from its competitors. “I’ve always believed there’s big opportunity for a media agency to take an exciting new direction in talent management, one that really differentiates the agency,” Mr Clark said in a communique. “Maxus can be that agency, and I think we can make that happen with Madhvi’s leadership, advice and partnership. Having Madhvi based in Asia also recognizes the importance of our fastest-growing region to the future of our talent agenda.”

     

    Before joining GroupM in India in 2006, Ms Pahwa has held several senior marketing and brand management roles with marketers including Procter & Gamble and Coca-Cola India, where she spent a decade in marketing roles ranging from managing brand portfolios to consumer insights to media planning and buying.

    H&R Block appoints Onads as Marketing and Communication Partner

    By A Correspondent

     

    Onads Communications has bagged the business of US-based H&R Block, the global leaders in assisted tax preparation and return filing. H&R Block has over 25 million customers across the world.

     

    H&R Block will be initially present inBangaloreand Pune, but it plans to have 30 outlets in 6 cities next year and open up to 500 outlets across the country by 2017.

     

    The timing of the launch is strategic as H&R Block wants to capitalise on this year’s ‘Indian tax season’ which is essentially April to July for individual tax return filers.

     

    H&R Block had invited ad agencies in Mumbai, with the objective of finding a marketing & communications partner that will understand the business they are in, evaluate the implications for the Indian market, and suggest strategic and creative solutions to build this large global brand in India.

     

    The Onads presentation tackled this with an insightful approach by coming up with a fresh and friendly identity for the brand, followed by a clear road-map for the brand in India.

     

    The challenge was to deliver on the global brand values of a firmly established brand in USA, Canada, Australia and now in Brazil, but completely localise intent and personality. Jignesh Maniar, Founder of Onads said: “We are thrilled to be selected as the marketing partner by a company of the global stature of H&R Block. The marketing launch plan is finalised and Onads is going to partner with H&R Block meticulously and diligently to build a strong foundation in India.’

     

    Rohan Parikh,MD, H&R BlockIndiasaid: “We at H&R Block are delighted to have a passionate and resourceful marketing partner in the Onads team led by Jignesh Maniar. We were impressed by their thorough attention to their micro & macro-objectives and ‘real world’ solutions approach. H&R Block has brought its refined global processes for convenient tax filing and adopted the same for the Indian market. We are very optimistic aboutIndiaand look forward to bringing ease and accuracy to individual, small business and self employed tax filing in India.”

     

  • Internet advertising hit $84.8 billion in 2011, representing a 16 percent increase over the previous year, according to a new report from GroupM

    GroupM study says global web spends up 16% in 2011

    By A Correspondent

     

    Internet advertising hit $84.8 billion in 2011, representing a 16 per cent increase over the previous year and accounting for more than 17 per cent of all global measured advertising expenditures, according to a new report from GroupM.

     

    North America led the pack in terms of overall digital ad spending with an estimated $34.5 billion; Asia-Pacific came in second with $24.8 billion followed by Western Europe with $21 billion, according to the study, entitled This Year, Next Year: Interaction 2012.

     

    The study is part of GroupM’s media and marketing forecasting series drawn from data supplied by parent company WPP’s worldwide resources in advertising, public relations, market research, and specialist communications. It was released on Wednesday by London-based GroupM Futures Director Adam Smith and New York-based GroupM Interaction Global CEO Rob Norman.

     

    The study also predicts that in 2012, digital advertising spending will reach $98.2 billion globally, almost 16 per cent more than this year.  The figure represents almost 19 per cent of all measured advertising investment.  In the 2012 forecast, North America once again ranks first with an estimated $38 billion in digital ad spend; Asia-Pacific follows with $31.4 billion followed by Western Europe with $23 billion.

     

    In the US, digital advertising spending hit $32.2 billion in 2011, representing a 22 per cent share of the overall domestic market and a 12 per cent increase over the previous year, according to the study.  This year those figures are expected to reach $35.4 billion for a 23 per cent share and a 10 per cent increase over 2011.

     

    The report also includes detailed commentary on the current state of various digital marketing developments and offers insightful observations on the evolution of digital communications and the inherent implications for marketers.

     

    “At the risk of an ‘oh really?’ response, it’s possible to argue that for the first time since these reports began that the last year has been one of evolution rather than revolution,” Mr Norman wrote in the report’s introduction.  “It seems that less is brand new and that a combination of scale of usage of an increasingly social and mobile web, the penetration of devices supported by it, and the continued atomization of audiences and content, in both their creation and distribution combine to tell the story of the year.”

     

    Mr Norman added: “In 2007 we speculated about a world that would be truly social, searchable, mobile, addressable and interactive and illuminated by data that could be collected and applied across all marketing functions; in 2012 that is no longer a matter for conjecture.”

     

    In addition to spending forecasts, the comprehensive, 20-country report also details ad investment in paid search and Internet display as well as providing data on broadband penetration, media time spent online and e-commerce per user data.

     

    Additional key findings in the survey include the following:

     

    • Digital advertising’s share of total ad investment rose from 4.4 per cent worldwide in 2004 to a projected 18.8 per cent in 2012.
    • The average percentage of consumers’ “media time” spent online increased from 11 percent in 2006 to 19 percent in 2011. The absolute number of broadband homes worldwide has nearly tripled in this period to reach 500 million, and the typical country has seen broadband penetration grow by half.
    • Aside from general monetary inflation, ad investment growth has two main vectors: aggregate audience hours, and advertising intensity per individual. Average online advertising investment per online user doubled between 2006 and 2011.  For 2011, Norway had the highest per-capita online ad investment in the study’s sample–$200.
    • E-commerce accounts for about 5 per cent of global retail sales today, with instant-on devices, secure and simple payment, vouchering, and the optimization of retail for mobile serving as catalysts for growth.
    • Consumer tablet penetration reached double digits in only three of the survey’s countries in 2011: the US, Finland and South Korea.  However, take-up is expected to be rapid and nine countries should reach double digit penetration in 2012.

     

  • Created by O&M, the campaign proposition is of "internet is fun" to be substantiated by products that make internet fun to use on Vodafone network

    Vodafone pushes to access net via phone

    By A Correspondent

     

    Looking at growth opportunity in using internet on phones, Vodafone is pushing for this aggressively. Data shows that a sizable proportion of internet enabled phone owners do not use internet or have very low minutes of usage. To tackle this issue, Vodafone has come out with a campaign to drive usage and penetration of internet among Vodafone customers by simplifying usage experience and showing the fun possibilities of internet.

     

    Created by O&M, the campaign proposition is of “internet is fun” to be substantiated by products that make internet fun to use on Vodafone network.

     

    The brief given to the agency for the campaign is based on the core idea that internet and the mobile phone are ubiquitous in today’s world. The message communicated is to ensure that consumers get easier access to the internet and experience it in a simple and fun manner, on their Vodafone mobile phones. In short – The Internet is fun on Vodafone.

     

    “This also meant creating services, products and offerings that substantiate our proposition, which you will see unveiled over the IPL. We will be staring the campaign with an execution on the Opera Mini browser available on Vodafone that facilitates faster internet browsing as an added caveat – this campaign was for the IPL. Hence the creative execution needed to be different and have scale to break clutter and standout during IPL 5,” stated an official communique from Vodafone.

     

    “To deliver the ‘internet is fun on Vodafone’ promise we brought alive the Vodafone internet world in the form of huge, larger than life real games in a setting reminiscent of the Tele Matches. These games are set in a timeless space, with real people playing ridiculous games and generally getting together to have a fun time. And that provided the best metaphor for our proposition.”

     

    “each offering explains how Vodafone makes the mobile internet experience more fun and was brought to life with its own unique and absolutely fun game played between two teams. To bring out authenticity in the execution, the TVCs are set in a small village nearPragueinCzechoslovakiaand all the props are real and have been constructed for the films. And because the drama is happening in Czech, and english commentator explains the proceedings to the audience,” stated the communique.

     

    This is an 8 week long campaign. The campaign started with 3 teaser films on April 4 followed by the first TVC which aired on April 8. This is part of the 8 TVC’s on different products from Vodafone that make the internet experience on Vodafone fun. The campaign will be supported with a high decibel 360 media plan using TV, Radio, Print, Outdoor, on Ground and a digital and online plan.

     

  • I wasn't even aware that Cag awards still exist. They've become so low profile and unhappening in recent years, I imagined they had shut shop some years ago

    Anil Thakraney: Cag awards: Need to be revived

    By Anil Thakraney

     

    Interesting story on Cag awards in mxmindia. Here’s the link in case you missed it:

    http://www.mxmindia.com/2012/04/why-cag-has-stopped-awarding-seniors/

     

    To be quite honest, till I read this particular article, I wasn’t even aware that Cag awards still exist. They’ve become so low profile and unhappening in recent years, I imagined they had shut shop some years ago. In fact, I often used to wonder what went wrong.

     

    Once upon a time, Cag awards were the most respected and the most wanted in the ad world. Creatives used to value them hugely. Unlike the Abbies which were perceived to be commercial in nature, and therefore lacked the value of Cag awards.

     

    The difference between the two was essentially what happens with film awards. Those in the popular categories and those awarded by the critics. The latter is more valued by the film frat. According to the story in mxmindia, what led to the de-valuing of Cag awards is that scam ads slipped in, and the scamsters robbed the awards of the credibility they possessed. A pity, really. Because in my books, Cag had the opportunity to be that ONE awards competition which most ad people would continue to covet and which would truly reflect their skills.

     

    Surely the entry of scamsters could have been controlled. It’s not so difficult to do.

    All you need is a copy of the media plan and a letter from the client. To kill the whole idea because of that makes little sense to me. Also, GoaFest charges heavy fees per entry. And therefore its revenues are dependent on the ad frat. This makes the organizers powerless.

     

    In my interview with Shashi Sinha, he mentioned that given a choice he’d invite clients to the jury team, but the creative directors won’t allow it. What Sinha didn’t say openly is that the real control lies with the creative directors so there’s nothing he can do. They pay for the festival, right?

     

    Cag could have been that organization where there are no entries. Or the entries aren’t paid for. Like the film awards. Where the jury members select the winners on their own. And this allows the organizers to run the show in their way, on their terms. Minus all the scams and controversies that have been known to dog GoaFest.

     

    And Cag could so easily have found sponsors who desire to be associated with a clean, respected ship.

     

    In fact, I believe this can still be done. It needs just one entity/organization to revive the awards and make them the most valued in the Indian ad world.
