  • Infectious promotes MX Player reality show, ‘Shaadi Fit’

    By A Correspondent

     

    Ad agency Infectious has unveiled its campaign to launch MX Player’s latest show, ‘Shaadi Fit’. Said Nisha Singhania, Co-Founder, Infectious: “When people are in love they see life through rose tinted glasses. They don’t consider other factors besides love before deciding to marry. Our campaign idea was about creating dissonance with blissfully in-love couples and giving them a little reality check by asking tough questions to check if they are ready for marriage.”

     

    Added Co-founder Ramanuj Shastry: “The promos for the MXPlayer series ‘Shadi Fit’ were fun to work on. The ads were both quirky and insightful takes on the thorny issue of “compatibility” – a top of mind issue for singles. Kudos to Director Karan Butani and The Rumor Projects for a fab job again.”

  • PGIM India launches its first campaign in India

    By A Correspondent

     

    PGIM, the global investment management brand of US-based Prudential Financial, Inc. (PFI), has launched its new brand in the Indian market called, PGIM India Mutual Fund.

     

    Said Sakshi Dalela, Head-Marketing PGIM India Mutual Fund: “The campaign insight came from close group one-on-one discussions with millennials across metros and mini-metros to understand their values, priorities, attitude towards money and their outlook towards life. Most of them realize the importance of intelligently planning their finances to have an edge in life. While most millennials aspire to travel the world, earn high salaries and establish a good work-life balance, almost all of them were also passionate about making a positive impact on society. We found our insight in this millennial behavior – If they can plan their finances well, either on their own or with expert guidance, they will not need to think twice before acting on their wishes – be it to travel the world, enjoy experiences or for that matter give back to society”

     

    Added Rahul Jauhari, Joint President and Chief Creative Officer, Rediffusion Brand Solutions:  “There is a visible urge amongst young people to connect with and make a positive impact on their surroundings. When your finances are better planned, the urge can translate into action a lot more easily. And the young actively seek credible sources of wisdom and guidance when it comes to financial planning. We connected the two – the campaign brings out the ease with which the youth can follow their heart, without worrying too much about the financial aspect. A little planning and smarter investments help along the way.”
