  • Orient Electric highlights effects of invisible LED flicker

    By A Correspondent

     

    Orient Electric has unveiled an integrated marketing campaign to raise awareness about what it calls harmful effects of invisible flicker present in LED lights and to introduce its new range of EyeLuv LED lights with Flicker-Control Technology.

     

    Said Anshuman Chakravarty, Head Brand & Corporate Communication, Orient Electric: “Our focus has always been on using technology led innovation to offer products and solutions that meet the needs and expectations of new age consumers. While lighting experts and manufacturers were aware about the harmful effects of invisible flicker in LED lights but its awareness amongst consumers was low. The Flicker Control Technology in our new EyeLuv LED range controls the harmful invisible LED flicker thus making it safer and better for overall eye health. From creating awareness around the problem to finally introducing them to the solution i.e. Orient EyeLuv LEDs, we have addressed every aspect in our new TVC. We are hopeful that this campaign will act as an eye opener for the consumers and will encourage them to check the invisible flicker in the LED lights installed in their surroundings.”

     

    Added Sagar Mahabaleshwar, CCO, Contract India: “The first thing we decided was not to see it as a typical home solution product, which is usually told through a nice life insight and an emotional benefit kind of story. We chose a serious tone because of the nature of the problem. And looked, not at the buying TG but the one on whom it would have the most impact – the child in every home, who studies long hours every night”

     

    In addition to Hindi, the TVC will also be released in Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Telegu, Marathi, Bengali and Punjabi.

  • Madison BMB creates new TVC for Asian Paints’s Sleek

    By A Correspondent

     

    Madison BMB has announced the release of its latest commercial for modern kitchens brand Sleek. The agency evolved the concept of the campaign, including its tagline ‘Modern Kitchens for Modern Minds’, from an extensive consumer research where respondents equated modular kitchens with openness and modernity.

     

    Said Pragyan Kumar, Vice President, Home Improvement, Asian Paints: “At Sleek Kitchens, we strongly believe in being in sync with the times, and that design can play a vital role in supporting the demands of our new lifestyles. The ethos of ‘Modern Kitchens, Modern Minds’ drives our innovation effort, and that’s the value we bring to our consumers: well-designed kitchens that are not just beautiful, but also makes things simpler and easy to use for all. Right from the concealed step ladder that provides easy access to those difficult to reach areas, smart chimneys and other appliances that make cooking a breeze or the overall kitchen design itself, every aspect and detail is thought through to ensure you get your dream kitchen. The joys of the modern family enhanced by a modern thoughtfully designed kitchen – that’s been the essence of Sleek and this TVC.”

     

    Added Amit Syngle, Chief Operating Officer, Asian Paints: “Asian Paints’ foray into home improvement segment has been able to help us strengthen our vision of partnering people in creating beautiful homes. The kitchen as a space has transformed from a purely functional area to a place showcased with pride. Sleek’s ability to understand each customer’s requirement and build their dream kitchens fits in well with the overall Asian Paints vision.”

     

    Said Raj Nair, CEO and Chief Creative Officer, Madison BMB: “This is the relaunch of Sleek Kitchens, India’s most well-known Modular Kitchens brand, since becoming part of Asian Paints. The modernity in the design, the openness of the layout of the kitchen, the contemporariness in the aesthetics, the attention to detail, all thoughtfully combine to create a truly distinctive offering. Take for instance the mid-way organiser that makes for convenient stacking at arm’s length. Or indeed the extremely convenient and unobtrusive step ladder. Just a couple of ultra – thoughtful features designed to dazzle. Matched with the most modern appliances like the hobs, the exhaust, the oven, even a concealed fridge! When presented by a leader like Asian Paints, the modernity of design transfers to modernity of thought that appeals to the modern minds of today. Therefore, very simply, who says a man cannot rule a kitchen? And along the way impart a few important life lessons to his son? We look forward to the communication involving film/print/outdoor/point of sale material cooking up very positive feelings among consumers, considering the package was already a hit at the dealer launch.”
