  • Livpure campaign helps Shimla resolve water crisis

    By  A Correspondent

     

    Livpure has unveiled its new digital film titled ‘CuttingPaani 2.0’, an extension to their #CuttingPaani 1.0 campaign. #CuttingPaani asks citizens that if the quench is of half a glass then one should only take half a glass of water.

     

    Commenting on the campaign, Sushil Matey, Director-Marketing, Livpure said, “Our dipstick showed that Indians in general are very casual about wasting water. And, as we all know, it is a very scarce resource and possibly future wars would be fought for water! Our #CuttingPaani campaign launched in March this year highlighted the significance of drinking water judiciously and received rave response from citizens and consumers alike. We were able to get 7.8 million views and 18 million reach. However, we further wanted to highlight the importance of this campaign and taking Shimla as the pilot city, we educated the citizens on ‘Paani Bachao, Cutting Mangao’.”

     

    Added Raj Kamble, Founder & CCO, Famous Innovations: “#CuttingPaani is not an ad campaign, it is an act – a movement with the power to spark real change. ‘Cutting chai’ is such a common concept in India – why can’t the same be applied to water? We launched this idea last year in India’s top cities, but found that Shimla was in a unique and critical situation, and therefore needed action the most. We’re heartened about the enthusiastic participation by the people of Shimla and even pleasantly surprised to find the practice adopted by restaurants all over Pune, Bangalore, Nagpur, Lonavala and other small towns! #CuttingPaani is a simple change of habit that we hope will go a long way,”

    By A Correspondent

    Speaking on the campaign, Varun Jha, Sr. Vice President & Head-Marketing at Zoomcar said: “This is our first ever big bang ATL campaign since we launched in 2013. Therefore, the focus as was to work with the best in class creative and media partners in order to produce world class content. We roped in Ogilvy as our creative partner and prepared the entire campaign in under three weeks. The same rigour was shown by Motivator (GroupM) while deploying media. With the shift towards long-term rentals and not buying cars anymore, it’s an apt time to launch ZAP Subscribe. That being said, building a new category is long drawn process and needs constant hammering across consumer touch points. Zoomcar is committed to the Indian market when it comes to mobility solutions and wants to dominate the hockey stick growth curve that will happen in car subscription services over next few years.”

     

    Commenting on making the film, Amitabh Agnihotri, Group Creative Director at Ogilvy said: “Car subscription is a fairly new concept to most Indians. It needed to be conveyed through a simple creative idea. Proposal with a twist is such an idea. And the idea and the script allowed us to make it in an epic style. Like a scene out of a film. All these things put together make it a memorable film that you want to watch again and again.”

     

    The integrated campaign has been conceptualized by Amitabh Agnihotri, the Group Creative Director at Ogilvy India. He also penned the lyrics for the brand anthem which is on air on across radio stations in 15 cities. The TV ad been directed by Abhinav Pratiman of Early Man Films.

    By A Correspondent

     

    Dating app Tinder has rolled out a new brand campaign ‘Adulting Can Wait’.  Commenting on the campaign, Taru Kapoor, GM, Tinder India said: “Experiences in our early 20s serve as lessons in how to adult and eventually “settle down”. Growing up isn’t really optional, and we will achieve the goals that we seek and the ones we didn’t know we seek. We will all get there, whatever ‘there’ is. But until then, we want to celebrate the unexpected surprises at every corner – the craziness we will be nostalgic about sooner than we think, the relationships that will leave us better than they found us, the adventures that will make us challenge our own limits, and the people who will leave an indelible mark on our lives. Tinder represents endless possibilities where each right swipe opens up a new world of unique possibilities. Every swipe is a new connection, a potential epic memory or a valuable lesson in self-discovery. The film captures all the potential connections and social interactions, which eventually shape our world views as well as self-identity, that Tinder can facilitate. ”

     

    The film was created and conceptualised by J Walter Thompson, Delhi, directed by Rajneesh Ghai ‘Razy’ with the soundtrack composed by music director Mikey McCleary and sung by Anjali Sivaraman.

     

    Added Sambit Mohanty, National Creative Director, J Walter Thompson Sambit Mohanty “Tinder is more than just an app that enables ‘dating’. It’s a plethora of life experiences and a whole lot of fun. That’s the spirit we wanted to capture with our new campaign – tailor-made for a young and restless generation that doesn’t want to commit to adult choices.”

LivFast is a brand that outperforms competition & performs no matter what condition. Just like LivFast, Dhoni is known to be a finisher, someone who stays cool and performs, no matter what situation. This association is like a perfect handshake as we believe in a common ideology. We have carefully understood the needs of the consumer in this category and the absence of innovation for a long time from the competition. Our new product offerings are unique, with faster-charging inverters that can also charge on lower voltages & batteries which will provide extra back up. This very fact is well resonated in this 360-degree marketing campaign that will help attract the consumer’s attention since these are based on their pain points. We wish to solidify our position in this category with an aim to gain a strong market share.”
