    By Our Staff

     

    Vivo, the smartphone brand, has announced the launch of its new campaign, “Joy of Homecoming “, across mainline and digital platforms.

     

    Conceptualised by Dentsu Impact, the leading creative agency from the house of Dentsu Aegis Network India, the campaign encapsulates the role of smartphone photography in rekindling the joy of connection.

     

    Said Nipun Marya, Director Brand Strategy, Vivo India: “As the world continuous to fight the novel coronavirus, the festival of Diwali holds special significance in these testing times. Through the ‘Joy of Homecoming’ campaign, we aim to bridge the emotional and physical distances between the families and spread happiness through smartphone photography. The festival of Diwali marks a new beginning in our lives and with our campaign, we urge everyone to celebrate and make it special. On behalf of vivo India family, I wish everyone a very happy and prosperous Diwali!”

     

    Added Anupama Ramaswamy, NCD Dentsu Impact: “We live in a world where the distance between elderly parents and their grown-up children is rapidly increasing. A big reason is that these children, who often live somewhere else, are busy with their own families, work and other commitments. To find the time to come home for a visit is unfortunately becoming a rare luxury for them. As a result, regular touch is lost over time, leaving parents to wonder sadly when that long awaited homecoming is finally going to happen. We saw this film as an opportunity to remind everyone that it takes very little to stop drifting away and to keep the bond strong with our near and dear ones. And Diwali is a very apt occasion to send out this message, since it is all about celebrating the coming home of children after a long period of time. And vivo, with its high-quality camera, is the perfect tool to stir these memories via the power of pictures. That is truly the joy of homecoming.”
