    By A Correspondent

     

    On the occasion of company’s 75th anniversary, Blue Star has rolled out its latest film that is just not a celebration but a reflection of what has been achieved in all these years.

     

    Said B Thiagarajan, Joint Managing Director, Blue Star: “Blue Star is much more than air-conditioning and refrigeration, with its presence extending to electrical, plumbing, fire-fighting projects as well as facility management, and water and air purification, amongst others. The brand caters to a wide range of residential and commercial customers, along with being market leaders in several categories. We are proud to be celebrating our 75th anniversary this year, and the new TVC attempts to showcase our multi-faceted identity. The ad conveys, in a subtle yet evocative manner, that our pedigree over the decades has been built due to the trust that our customers have in us, with a focus on our new tagline ‘Built on Trust’, and a promise to keep reinventing ourselves as we move forward towards our centennial.”

     

    Added Robby Mathew, Chief Creative Officer, FCB Interface: “Very few people are aware of Blue Star’s omnipresence in India. They rely on Blue Star’s products and services on a daily basis without actually knowing that they are doing so. The creative task was to simply bring this alive. And with the invisible Blue Star Expert we were able to do just that.”

  • Asian Paints illustrates the importance of doing great work in new digital film

    By A Correspondent

     

    Asian Paints has launched a new digital film for its adhesives range of products. The new brand film titled ‘Screaming Furniture’, featuring Nawazuddin Siddiqui has been conceptualised by McCann India.

     

    Speaking about the new digital film, Amit Syngle, COO, Asian Paints Limited said: “Ever since its launch, the Asian Paints Adhesives range has always stood for providing a modern and progressive choice, a Choice Tarakki Ki, to customers and applicators through its range of innovative and high-performance products. With this new film, we are aiming to strengthen this position even further, amongst the target segment. This film is a fun & engaging watch. It takes the brand message and creatively weaves in the insight that a perfect job is crucial to earning a perfect reputation in the market. And with Asian Paints Adhesives, you will always get a perfect job done!”

     

    Added Suraja Kishore, Executive VP & GM – McCann Mumbai: “Adhesives as a category have been far too long stuck in a grimy sweaty functional space. Coming from Asian Paints, key point of difference for our adhesives is that it helps carpenters achieve not just function but also form and finesse. To bring alive this point our campaign creatively amplifies the idea that liability of not using Asian Paints Adhesives is to be remembered for a shoddy job. The insight that every time a furniture makes a creaking noise we don’t blame the adhesives we rather blame the carpenter has been cleverly amplified in an amusing manner. We are excited to rewrite the rules of the category and make Asian Paints adhesive synonymous with design and décor rather than mere functional benefit of just great bonding.”
