  • Asian Paints unveils its new series, ‘Live Stylishly’

    By A Correspondent

     

    Conceptualised, written and produced by Supari Studios, Asian Paints has launched another series of ‘How To videos’ around home décor ideas.

     

    Said Nisha Vasudevan, Director, Asian Paints Live Stylishly Season 3: “We aimed to create inspirational and aspirational yet snackable content that will showcase the Asian Paints catalog by illustrating how colours transform a space. We went with snappy scripts complemented by supers that would ensure the audience retains the messaging even if audio didn’t play. The spaces were revamped using choreography created using various sets of hands – they snap, click, and select throughout the videos, and act as catalysts for transformation. No characters are visible in the frames – this has allowed for seamless, fun and clutter-breaking visuals that focus on the spaces. One of the other challenges included the time-frame – we had just three days to shoot 20 videos. To achieve the above, we’ve used a mix of stop-motion, compositing and chroma cleverly. All departments had to work hard and smart, and this has translated into a set of neat, lucid and entertaining videos for Asian Paints’ Live Stylishly Season 3.”

     

    Added Manoti Jain, Executive Producer, Supari Studios: “For Asian Paints Live stylishly, we wanted to build a brand IP that was strategically relevant and would serve as a powerful content territory for the brand. At the inception of the idea the focus was to build a content strategy that meets both the brand’s goals and engages with the intended audience. We have created a total of 20 videos that revolve around information that the consumers are constantly seeking for while doing up the house. As next steps we are looking to create more videos in the space making Home Decor synonymous with Asian Paints in India.”

  • Ola launches new brand campaign for Ola Rentals

    By A Correspondent

     

    Ola has launched a nationwide integrated campaign focusing on Ola Rentals. Starring actor and writer Sumeet Vyas, the video campaign highlights Ola Rentals as the go-to weekend ride.

     

    Conceptualised and developed by Happy mcgarrybowen, the TVCs show Sumeet as an empowered Ola Rentals customer who isn’t worried of getting tired of driving for long hours in heavy traffic. Instead, he enjoys a day out with his wife and back-to-back outings to meet relatives since he gets to relax at the backseat like a boss.

     

    Said Pallav Singh, Senior Vice President at Ola: “Since its launch in 2016, Ola Rentals has been a favourite among corporate customers and working executives who move from one meeting to another during the day. Through this latest campaign we want to highlight the convenience of having a cab on disposal for diverse needs like shopping trips, meeting friends, visiting relatives, local sightseeing etc. I am glad to share that the TVCs are garnering great response, which goes to show that customers today value convenience and experience. They don’t want to tire themselves driving in heavy traffic, instead would like to be driven around as they relax and enjoy their day off.”

     

    Added Samarjit Choudhry, Chief Operating Officer, Happy mcgarrybowen: “Ola Rentals is a very unique category. Unlike a point-to-point cab, this one is meant to take you to multiple places. It takes away a lot of pain points like parking or having to book another cab, not to say the pain of driving on congested roads. Keeping all this in mind, we decided to take weekends as a plank for communication because a large number of the people get out on weekends and face the stress of weekend traffic and finding parking spots. The ease of the product offering had to be conveyed and hence we came up with the campaign thought of #NoStressBoss.”

  • Milestone Dentsu, RNR pay ode to teachers via latest campaign

    By A Correspondent

     

    Milestone Dentsu joined hands with Rock N Roll riders (RNR) to launch the #HappyLifeTeachersDay campaign this Teacher’s Day.

     

    Commenting on the campaign, D Jay, Founder and Lead Ride Captain of RNR said: “We noticed that most of our mechanics have stories to tell and one of the key life changing events for them, has been meeting their ‘Ustaad’. There is so much that they have learnt from their first Ustaad that somehow whichever stage the mechanics are in, they feel indebted, just like an IAS officer is indebted to his teachers/professors at school.”

     

    Said Ujjwal Anand, Country Head and Mayank Khattar, NCD Milestone Dentsu: “When we conceived the idea, we felt that it was meant for none other than RNR. We have worked with them in the past. As a group, RNR are not just after profits. They also want to give back to the society, to the community and to the environment. The campaign brings out the right emotion and urges people to think beyond the ordinary. We all have learnt a lot from different kinds of teachers. And while we always thank the classroom teacher, we often forget the most important teachers, our ‘Life Teachers’, and it’s about time that we start doing so.”

     

     

  • Cars24 announces integrated brand repositioning campaign

    By A Correspondent

     

    Cars24 has launched ‘Car bechniho, toh Cars24’ – a new brand proposition, in  line with its ambition to own the category of used car commerce. The ad campaign features actors Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Mandira Bedi as they share their struggles of selling their used cars.

     

    Said Vikram Chopra, CEO, Cars24: “Cars24 has been around for a while, but we realised that there were multiple reasons why we had such a wide fan base. A very large number of our branch walk-ins were from referrals from other happy consumers who had earlier sold a car at Cars24.  We realized it’s time we move from a single benefit proposition to appropriating the category of used cars. The latest campaign establishes Cars24 as the clear dominant leader in the segment, and re-positions all other methods of selling your used car as tedious, harrowing and unreliable.”
