  • Swiggy addresses another serious issue related to customer care executives in its signature style

    Swiggy’s #WhatTheFalooda ad campaign focusses on customer behaviour

    By A Correspondent

     

    Swiggy is back with another ad campaign centered on customer care executives. Titled #WhatTheFalooda, the campaign aims to sensitise customers against the use of abusive language while interacting with customer care executives through chats, calls and on social media.

     

    Said Srivats TS – Vice President Marketing at Swiggy: “Tens of thousands of users interact with customer care executives each day across various organisations. Some of them might unknowingly hurt the emotions of these anonymous executives who work around-the-clock to sort out grievances and ensure a hassle-free experience. We tend to forget that they are human too, and words of profanity can hurt them deeply. Through this campaign, we are hopeful that many such users will relate to it and become more conscious of their choice of words. As always, we have tried to marry humour into our communication, while highlighting the concerns faced by customer care executives not just at Swiggy, but across the entire service industry.”

  • The campaign being run on social media pages of Columbia Pacific Communities, and also as search ads on Google, comes with a call to action

    ‘OK Boomer’ campaign encourages engagement with Baby Boomers

    By A Correspondent

     

    Columbia Pacific Communities has kickstarted 2020 with a topical campaign titled ‘Ok, Boomer’ that aims to call out ageism and propagate the philosophy of positive ageing, the brand’s core philosophy.

     

    Columbia Pacific Communities has launched a 10-day campaign to bat for the seniors and position ‘Baby Boomers’ as a generation that not only made path-breaking contributions and continue to do so but also remain extremely relevant.

     

    Commenting on the social media campaign, Piali Dasgupta, VP – Marketing, Columbia Pacific Communities said: “Our campaign has been conceptualised capitalising the ageist catchphrase “OK Boomer” that came into existence as an internet meme in 2015. It is a reaction to the catchphrase. By mid-2019, millennials and younger generations started to widely use it to dismiss or mock the Baby Boomer generation as narrow-minded and outdated. We, as a brand, stand for showing the world the power of positive ageing.

     

    The campaign was conceived to not just celebrate the contributions of baby boomers in various fields such as technology, music, art and culture, but also leverage the rich life experiences and wisdom of senior citizens to share life lessons and advise. ”
