  • Unlimited showcases why #FashionIsUnlimited in latest ad film

    By A Correspondent

     

    Unlimited, the family fashion store from Arvind Lifestyle Brands Limited, launched its new campaign – Fashion is Unlimited – through its first ever television commercial.  The central thought of the campaign is that fashion is different for different consumers but also a very vivid expression of individuality for every consumer.

     

    Commenting on the launch of the campaign, Suresh J, MD and CEO, Arvind Lifestyle Brands Limited said: “Unlimited is a one-stop destination designed to cater to the fashion requirements for the whole family. We aim to cater to the evolving fashion needs of Indians, shopping for value fashion; and through this campaign, we want to drive home the message that Unlimited is the place where everyone can find their style. The film, with its basis on the insight of how the process of dressing up comprises a set of very meaningful moments for the Indian consumer, beautifully highlights the truly ‘Unlimited’ range of fashion choices. The brand is equipped to delight its audience with its offerings, ranging from formal wear, festive wear, traditional outfits, casual work-wear, to kids wear. The TVC reflects our offerings in terms of apparel, offers and fashion to showcase #FashionIsUnlimited.”

     

    Highlighting the creative idea, Amit Akali, Founder and Creative Head, What’s Your Problem said: “We were very excited by the stance ‘Fashion is unlimited’ as it comes from a basic consumer behaviour – each person has their own definition of fashion, none of which is wrong or right. For someone fashion may be casual, for another it’s haute couture. Similarly, for someone it’s Indian, for another western, it’s formal, informal, etc. It is different things for different people. And Unlimited aims to full fill all these definitions of fashion for all target audiences. We also wanted to create a unique look that differentiates our brand from others. While we’ve captured insightful, slice of life moments, we were very clear it’s a fashion film and needed to look aspirational and cool. The camera work, music, etc was all used to enhance the same.”

    Said Burhanuddin Pithawala, VP – Conversions at Oyo: ‘’As a brand, we value the experience of our guests and want to put a smile on their face whenever they are staying with us. Recently, we conducted a survey amongst a select group of our guests in Bengaluru, where 53% of them felt that a good-looking and well-painted exterior is an important factor while booking a hotel. Over 57% of them stated that they may not go ahead with their booking in case a hotel’s exterior doesn’t match their expectations, while over 37% said they will definitely cancel their booking on this ground. With this in mind, we chose to design a colourful facade depicting the top hotspots of Bengaluru, which form the city’s heart and soul. These supergraphics are painted by Painter Kafeel, a street art maestro who hails from a small town in Uttar Pradesh.”

  • Croma’s new campaign assures customers of a brighter tomorrow

    By A Correspondent

     

    Croma has launched a new campaign for the festive season that promises customers more than just a good deal with ‘Assured Lifetime Service’.

     

    Said Ritesh Ghosal, CMO of the chain of stores: “The series of TVCs serve to drive the message ‘Buy from Croma and we take care of all your service needs for life!’ Years ago, we realized that customers face issues in accessing service for their products after purchase – from misplaced invoices and guarantee cards, contact details for a brand, to locating a service centre – there are many gaps. Croma as a practice, facilitates resolution in all such cases. For this year’s festive campaign, we decided to highlight this unique service of ours. The prevalent environment in which retailers try to out-shout each other in media and out-bid each other on the shop-floor makes this message relevant and refreshing.”

     

    Talking about the TVCs, KS Chax, Chief Creative Officer, Tidal 7 said: “The one line brief was to come up with an innovative campaign that shows the comfort and reassurance that Croma provides its customers with their Assured Lifetime Service promise. The starting point of the campaign was the uncertainty and frustration people normally face in getting their products repaired. Our insight was the enormous reassurance a human face provides in this context.  The fun was in doing it with our collective tongues firmly in our cheeks, so we wouldn’t end up being pompous, predictable or boring. We haven’t just put a face to the promise, we have given it a cool, fun personality, as well”
