    Parle Products has partnered with Taproot Dentsu to launch a series of five films for its flagship brand, Parle-G. Taproot’s task was to move Parle-G right up in the emotional consideration set of consumers, thereby reminding them of what Parle-G really is – the unsung hero of biscuits.

     

    Said Pallavi Chakravarti, Executive Creative Director, Taproot Dentsu Mumbai: “Parle-G is a staple. Quite like our rice and pulses. It is like that one person everyone has in their life who has always been there, albeit on the side-lines. This campaign is a celebration of relationships that we seldom acknowledge but without which life isn’t quite the same. It’s a message that only a brand as iconic as Parle-G can give. Because come to think of it, everyone has eaten one and everyone has a human equivalent, if they just take the time out to think of it.”

     

    Speaking about the campaign, Mayank Shah, Category Head, Parle Products said: ‘’Over the years, Parle-G was strongly positioned as a staple given that it is associated with health and nutrition. However, a consumer research that we conducted recently revealed that Parle-G has moved beyond being a staple and is now an emotion. Through this campaign, we want to celebrate that emotion and the bond a consumer has with Parle-G by showcasing how there are relations in our life which are never acknowledged but have played a significant role in making us who we are.”

Under the Godrej Smart Care brand – the Service arm of Godrej Appliances, we endeavour to provide our customers professional service but with personalized care. In an industry where the consumer -appliance relationship goes into years – much beyond the initial purchase experience, after sales service is a major consideration factor in the buying process and we strive hard to delight our customers with thoughtful service.

This campaign aims to bring out Godrej SmartCare as the one-stop solution for all appliance-related services. Using humour to drive this message was a conscious decision. We wanted these films to serve as entertaining pieces of content, which is why we collaborated with one of the biggest YouTube celebrities in India, Jeeveshu Ahluwalia.”
