  • Life insurance companies join hands to launch awareness campaign

    By A Correspondent

     

    Life Insurance Council has launched a joint campaign with the slogan ‘Sabse Pehle Life Insurance’. The campaign represents joint efforts of all 24 Indian life insurance companies who are working towards creating a common narrative aimed at increasing life insurance awareness in the country.

     

    Said V Manickam, Secretary, Life Insurance Council: “As part of Indian culture, our elders have always stressed on doing the most essential things first and then opt to carry on with other things. This is an integral part of day to day conversations. ‘Sabse Pehle Life Insurance’ comes from this very cultural nuance and will help establish an understanding of the essentiality of life insurance in our lives and the need to treat it as top most priority while planning for life.”

     

     

  • Network highlights new Vinod Cookware range

    By A Correspondent

     

    Network Advertising has launched an ad campaign for cookware brand Vinod Cookware.

     

    Said Shayondeep Pal, Chief Creative Officer, Network Advertising: “First and foremost, the idea was to break the category code to get the eyeballs. All we know is when it comes to cookware, we end up showing home-makers, happy kids and satisfied husbands. How do we stay away from this clichéd universe and still talk about a revolutionary product innovation called SAS metal? At the other end of the spectrum, we didn’t want to make an esoteric commercial with a tenuous connect. So, the attempt was to come up with an idea that is organically humorous and closer to the product truth.”

     

    Added Sunil Agarwal, Director, Vinod Cookware: “Vinod Cookware is synonymous with innovation and our offerings have been out strength. Our products have been able to stand the test of time and our substantial research has enabled us to understand the market and the consumers well. Our Platinum range is the perfect example of the focus we have on launching new products that address key consumer challenges. This new film created by Network Advertising encapsulates the brand and product promise effectively and I strongly believe that it will work very well for us in the market.”

This campaign is an ode to the innumerable ‘Rivaaj’ or traditions that are followed by us, especially that of buying gold and hence the name ‘Virasat’. We sincerely hope our grand new Virasat Collection will add a bit of sparkle to everyone’s life. At Tanishq we wish everyone to be a part of Riwaazon wali Diwali, Tanishq waali Diwali.”

     

    Added Sagar Kapoor, Chief Creative Officer, Lowe Lintas, Tanishq’s creative agency: “Diwali and Tanishq are integral to each other.

  • Milton expresses the colours of millennial love in latest ad film

    By A Correspondent

     

    Milton has released a new ad film conceptualised by Ogilvy for its Thermosteel range of water bottles.

     

    Said Ajay Vaghani – Managing Director, Hamilton Housewares: “In a way, our choices of colours reflect an aspect of our lives; almost like an extension of our personality. And the youth today visibly seems to resonate with this. They love integrating colours into their lives as a means of echoing the mood or a statement that they choose to make in that moment. It was exciting for Milton to build on this observation. We have a recognized legacy with Thermosteel bottles and with a wide range of colours in this category, we decided to cater to a vibrant young audience. The TVC, in an endearing way, interweaves the drama of colours and emotions through the bottles via a playful narrative. We want the youth of today to continue exploring and expressing their vivacious personalities with Milton by their side.”

     

    Speaking on the new TVC, Anurag Agnihotri- ECD, Ogilvy, says, Bottles and flasks are no longer just a utilitarian product. They have become an accessory for the youth, a means for them to express themselves. They’ve become synonymous to tattoos or jewellery. They are what sets one apart from the crowd. And when Milton introduced a range of colourful flasks, it was the perfect opportunity for us to talk to this youth not through words, but through colours.
